Hey I'm Kyle I live in central IL last weekend I bought my first jag. Been a truck guy most of my life but while looking for a vehicle for myself my wife really wanted me in something with more luxury and we all know happy wife means happy life so I gave in lol. She was pushing for a BMW but I really always hated them she jokingly sent me a link of a jag which backfired on her because I fell in love with it same options same price with half the miles. After looking it over I decided to bring home the 2003 2.5 5spd. X type with 86k miles. It's not perfect but I love it here are the issues I have maybe someone can point me in the right direction of instructions on how to fix them as I do my own work on our vehicles but have never owned a Jaguar.

1. Valve cover gaskets need replaced

2. Oil pan gasket needs replaced

3.cruise control isn't working

Thanks for any help hoping to hang on to this car for awhile. Will post pics soon.
