hi all

i bought a 2002 X-Type 2.1 se late last year and have been visiting this forum for a while as a guest.

this forum has been invaluable in helping me learn about my car and resolving some issues i had with it.

despite the cars failings - i love my car and am very pleased i bought it.

i am sure that i will continue to find the member advice to be useful.

Welcome to the forum

 

thanks for the welcome.

only one post yet - well two counting this one or three if you count a photo in the gallery.

 

Hey Oz welcome to the forum good to have you with us.
I also had the 02 although mine was the 2.5.....those years had quite a few minor issues here n there as you may be aware....nuthin too serious.
Most of them have been written up and can be found in the x type faq quick links if you haven't already seen them.
How about a few pics of your baby? Maybe post up one of you in the mug shot thread too?

All the best

 

Hi Jim

yes this forum has already proved invaluable in resolving a whistling problem that i had.

i have already availed myself of the picture gallery - just added a pic of me and my baby today.

cheers

Welcome to the forum!

 

Hey oz, its all good then
Your 02.....no probs with the door handles yet ( usually drivers - latch fails ) dash vents popping up, usual stuff?

 

dash vents were already popping up when i bought it

one of these days i will dab a bit of glue in there to help hold it down.

no problems with the door handles - yet.

it is a little disappointing that such a lovely looking car should have so many annoying little problems - thankfully my x drives beautifully at least.

running it on 98 RON as i have found that extends the range of the tank.

 

yes - that's my perception as well - welcome to the forum - lots of useful stuff here.

 

welcome to the site Orak...how about a little m ore info bout you, your car etc etc?

Oz.....there's a fix for the vents. A redesigned clip that actually works the way its sposed to....check it out at your dealer, they're not expensive.
I'm sure there's a write up about it in the X type FAQ quick links somewhere

 

hi Jim

i already upgraded the clips but the vent still pops up at the other end - i know i can hack the vents with a hacksaw to make them conform with the dash but i am loath to start cutting. i thought about new vents but they are rather ridiculously priced for two bits of plastic so - since it is only aesthetic i can live with it.

 

some guys on here have used Super glue or " crazy glue I think tis called over there and reported its worked fine.....just a thought for a checp n quick fix?

 

will glue
