Default New to Forum... and new to Jaguars : X-Type 2005

Hi Folks,

I've been lurking around your forum a bit since I got a 2005 X-Type some weeks back. I am keen on asking some questions... and so thought I should introduce myself a little.

I live in Melbourne, Florida area. And I work in software. I am mechanically inclined and can follow diagrams/descriptions/manuals/maps fairly well... but I am not especially auto-mechanically inclined.

The new to me X-type sedan is running very smoothly now (after $ome $ignificant injector, brake and air conditioning repairs). The car had been sitting for a number of years in an "open" garage, covered and somewhat weather-protected, but not climate controlled. The fix-it place I go to for many years now is not a Jaguar specialist... but they seem good and don't cut corners.

I hope I can learn enough about maintaining and specifics about thisJaguar to keep it running well and keep costs low, and so enjoy it longer.

Welcome to the forums WLHarrell,

Good to have you with us.

It sounds as though you have already found the relevant model forum but if not, follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x-type-x400-14/ to the X-Type forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...r-atlantic-66/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Wow... UK, US, OZ....

I appreciate the international welcome!

I've been through Sydney, and I've been through Summerville via hwy 17. I've been to the UK a couple times.. but not Durham I think. But I'm listening to "The Last Kingdom" book/audiobook series by Bernard Cornwell... so...

I've edited my signature. And I think I've seen most threads/ideas related to my first question. And I'll probably enjoy the "how to" of section for my X-Type.

Thank you,

WLHarrell
