Default newbie

My apolgies to all for not introducing myself properly.

Am a Englishman living in Georgia, working in Jacksonville Florida, ex military and a lover of the baby jag.

2004 x-type in platinum silver i think thats what its called.

i have 91000 plus miles on the clock with out one hiccup.
i am going to change the belts this weekend as i think its about time. Georgia heat and humidity tends to rot rubber.

transmission is smooth hardly feel the change up. still on original ATF. but again i think i should change this out. intend to do the rear diff at the same time.
going with Royal Purple for the diff and Mobil 1 synthetic for the Transmission.
i change the oil at 4-5000 miles and i mainly drive interstate.
the only bad thing i will say about the car is what idiot designed those headlight aiming tabs? so far no luck in finding a reliable source for replacements, i tried motorcarltd i think its called as they supposedly have some but no luck. am thinking of throwing the headlights out and trying to find something similar i can retrofit.

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

If you haven’t already you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for. To do this go to, User CP, Edit Signature, Add Vehicle Details and such and Save Your Signature.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

Also, should you have questions related to your vehicle please post it in the section for your model year (MY) car. This way you will reach all the members that are familiar with your MY car.
