Default new member - 2005 X-Type

Bought the car of my dreams about 3 years ago (well, the make at least - I'd have chosen an XJ, but got an X-Type).
Since then, I've had numerous problems - none big, until last month when Injectors failed.
Now I'm looking to you lot to help me with a problem.

Live in Reading, Berkshire

Default Detail is important

Yes it is - and in my haste to post/join, I omitted the detail of the motor:

2005 X-Type 2.0D

It is said "never meet your heroes" - well, I have and am not disappointed.

More miffed - the vehicle is 10 years old (85000 miles) and things have started playing up.

Recently ahd a main dealer Service, and since then stuff hasn't seemed right.

Injectors failed 2 weeks after (that cost a grand!), and now the coolant level is dropping with no obvious reason.

Not to worry - its still the best car I've owned.
I think I may now be a permanent Jag Owner - don't fancy driving anything else
