Hey: Wish this intro was under better circumstances. I am not happy with my '04 X-Type right now. Have had to replace the battery after only 12 months for the 3rd year in a row!!! I've had it! 
The Jag dealer just replaces the battery instead of doing root cause analysis -- what the heck is causing a perfectly good 5 year warranty battery to die after 12 months, each new battery lasting only 12 months for 3 straight years! Has someone had this problem and perhaps can do a better job of assessing what may be causing this problem? I am afraid to say, that last episode has made me want to sell it and be done with it. It's a pretty car, too bad. Probably went way more than the basic intro. Sorry guys.
