Hello all,

new to this forum.
I have been lurking for a few weeks looking for information.
So thought it was about time I joined up.

I have owned quite a few Jaguars & Daimlers over the years. Mainly XJ saloons.
I would happily have another S3 XJ6 now.
I presently own a S2 Daimler Double 6, S2 XJ6 & an '85 XJS V12 HE.
But my reason for being here is I have recently purchased a 2008 2.2D X-Type as a short term commuter car.
This came with faults, which I am trying to get sorted.

I have also been known to tinker with Classic minis & Vauxhalls.

Thanks.

 

Welcome to the forums Jagman.2008,

I can't understand why you wouldn't use the DD6 for commuting.

If it's anything like the XJ12 I had in the 70's, double figure mpg will be a rarity which was frightening enough when petrol was £0.76 per gallon!

You've most likely 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. You can also use the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums and good luck fettling the X-Type.

Thank you for the welcome Graham.
Your right the DD6 was second choice & twice the size. It's the Pre-HE fuel injected version. So that'll get me another 1 mpg..!

Thanks for the directions to the X400 section. I'm working my way through the multiple resons for 'Gearbox Error'

Cheers.

 

Welcome aboard.

 

Welcome to the Forums.

That XJS is the PERFECT Daily Driver, hands down. Followed very closely by the DD6.

Good luck.

 

Thanks Daf11e

 

Thanks Grant, much appreciated.
The XJS has been pressed into service a couple of times. But too much temptation just to forget work & drive smoothly off into the horizon!

 

welcome to the forum - enjoy!!

 

Thanks sklimii..
