Default X-Type Rescue Shelter

I have adopted (for a price) a 2002 X-Type. When looking into its eyes (spray painted) I knew if I didn't rescue it nobody would, this car has been neglected and was abused by a child. Sprayed lenses, suspension spacers for bigger tires, duct tape on visor mirrors to stop rattling from over sized speakers, broken interior pieces from system install, A sever lack in check ups, and general upkeep. I am nursing it back to health, giving it medical attention, food and water everyday and a comfortable bed. It has a nice coat and purrs nicely. I have faith this will be N I C E!

As Bob Barker says, "Don't forget to spay and neuter your pets."

Of course with a Jag, its the other way around. You want that cat to be able to perform.

Welcome and good luck.

Hello Noslo,

Welcome! You have come to the right place!
There are many Jaguar experts here who are very generous of time and knowlege.
They have taught me much in the couple of years since a neglected 04 X-type followed me home.
A word of caution: These cats will take advantage of your kind nature, occupy much of your time and chew on your wallet!

best regards,

Bill

I also rescued mine, still sitting in the garage, purring and waiting on some food (money and parts) but purring and looking good! No rush, though, she is safe.
