i recently picked up a running 03 Xtype 2.5l automatic for $600.... so you can assume the worst.. for any vehicle ive ever owned i take the importance of maintenance of both fluids and filters very seriously. but obviously the 3 owners before me did not.. after 2 weeks of driving(replacing all fluids and and adding every cleaning agent necessary) the rod bearing blows... and the engine seized seconds after... then i realize my thermostat was not correctly registering how ridiculously hot my engine was, as it never left half mast, and the engine fans blew for an hour after it seized... i need some help from this avid jag loving community.. and if anyone could oblige me in my request for aide it would greatly appreciated, and not forgotten. i am confident i can come up with whatever work needs to be done or parts that need to be acquired. i just dont have the funds to play "ill just replace parts till i figure it out" game. i would go to the dealership if i wanted to do that. lolol if there are any other phoenix jagsters, feel free to hit me up and lets go grab a beer! but dont laugh when i roll up in my 96 geo metro back up car...
