Hello all! Name is Mark. Ive been lurking on here for a few months and finally joined. Have found this site very useful in trouble shooting my 2002 X-Type 3.0 5 speed. I bought my car in late 2006 at 43k miles, we are now at 171+K miles on her. She has made me a believer in Jaguar and I look forward to my next one.
I enjoy doing my own maintainance, or at least attemp to do as much as I can with my limited resources. This car has been very good to me (knocking on wood) with just synthetic oil every 3-5k miles, upgraded brakes to drilled/slotted ceramic pads, K&N filter. Recently went through a P171 code issue. Changed the MAF sensor and fuel filter (first time that it had ever been done, wasn't pretty) and code issue fixed. I have the fortune to have a excellent repair shop near by with a great tech who allows me to pick his brain, and there prices on parts match most on the internet.
I look forward to learning more and possibly upgrading a few things others have done.

 

Hey Mark welcome aboard JF, good to have you with us

Nice intro thanks for sharing
The X type section is full of info and very friendly / helpful members with a good FAQ section too.....should all be good!
Had an X type myself a few years ago....a 2.5 02 plate, the AWD was awesome, great ride

Loads going on, plenty of very friendly and helpful members as well as some excellent tech advice......all good!

In the meantime I've manually upgraded you to full forum access so you can better view the site

 

Thank you for the welcome! And the upgrade! I have been digging into the X-Type forum pretty hard and love the huge amount of info. Great site!!
