'02 X-Type Suggestions
8 Attachment(s)
Hey guys,
I just introduced myself here I am picking up my new X-Type on Thursday or Friday and have been looking around the forum and learning a bit. Was wondering if you guys had any suggestions? I'm a bit short on cash at the moment so things will be slow. Things that I am thinking of:
Surely I've forgotten something else but I would love to hear suggestions from you guys because I have seen some great suggestions in other threads. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...ine=1360592697 https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...ine=1360592697 https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...ine=1360592697 https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...ine=1360592697 |
Thought I would have had a suggestion by now or at least a comment on the car.
I'm just too keen to look into things and learn haha. |
Bevoh,
Welcome aboard! I'm not too sure what the dealer told you, but... He has added the mesh grille (it's not in the pics on carsales), and the leaper on the bonnet wasn't standard in 01. Someone has also added the chrome trim around the taillights and headlights - it wasn't an option from Jaguar Australia. More likely it came from somewhere like carshine.com.au. That said, with only 89k you should have a great buy, especially for the money (this car was $75k when new!). Follow others advice on getting the fluids changed, and you should be in good shape. Again, welcome aboard, Regards, Rob |

Yeah I just found those on carshine about an hour ago. He had 2 X-types in there at the time and he said on one of them, he did the same kit (aftermarket) and chrome a couple of years ago but on mine it is apparently from the factory? Maybe I misunderstood or maybe he was bullshitting me but either way I'm not really fussed as it's still a nice car. Edit: Oh wow, I only just found it on carsales. We found it through the guy that my Dad buys the majority of his cars from. Interesting... Dont know how either of us didn't realise it was 01 haha. |
Actually your car is pretty much identical to mine. What colour is the interior? It's a little hard to tell from the pics.
I'd be interested on what you end up doing with the stereo - it appears options to upgrade are a little limited given the space behind the existing unit. Shame you're in Vic! Regards, Rob |

Regards, Rob I'll let you know if I do anything with the stereo :). Have you done anything with your car worth noting since you got it? |

It's like a light cream colour from what I remember? Wouldn't have a clue what the factory colour was called.

Bevoh, unfortunately nothing new on my car beyond a new handbrake gaitor, mud flaps, and rear tread plates.
I pulled out the original documentation from my car, and I thought you might be interested in the price of various items that were available as options (clearly the first owner from my car had deep pockets and short arms as my car has the mats, sensors, and 6 stack cd). 2001 X-Type 2.5 V6 SE, RRP $70,350 Optional equipment Power fold mirrors - $500 Headlight wash - $875 Heated front windscreen - $875 Metallic paint - $1,475 Sunroof - $2,550 X-5 wheels - $700 x-Sport wheels - $2,450 Full size sport spare wheel - $400 Xenon lights - $1,820 Centre armrest (sliding) - $360 Electrochromatic rear view mirror - $420 First aid kit - $100 Footwell mats - $330 8 way electric seats - $2,750 10 way electric seats - $3,520 Seat heating - $1,210 Fold down rear seats - $285 Ivory leather trim - $3,150 Ski hatch bag - $560 Sunblind - $400 6 stack cd - $850 Premium sound - $1,350 Nav system - $5,000 Telephone - $2,000 TV (with sat nav) - $1,700 Voice activation - $1,500 Dynamic Stability Control - $2,550 Reverse park control - $920 Warning triangle - $125 Auto clear view pack (auto wipers & lights etc) - $869 Cold climate pack (heated seats, windscreen, headlight washers) - $2,664 Ouch!!!! Regards Rob |
$70,350 for an X-type?! :icon_omg: "Oh sweet Moses!"(c)

Nardo,
The prices for the 4 models available here then were: X-Type 2.5 V6 Sport $68,150 X-Type 2.5 V6 SE $70,350 X-Type 3.0 V6 Sport $77,950 X-Type 3.0 V6 SE $84,450 And today prices are equally crazy. Despite the AUD being slightly stronger than the USD, we pay approximately 3 times the US price for cars. However, there are some really weird one - for example, the new Chevolet SS will cost approximately 50% more here than in the US, and it's made here! Rgds Rob |
>Ski hatch bag - $560
Sorry, just don't understand that one in Oz... ================================================ Jaguar: Grace, Pace, and Space - Sir William Lyons |
Ski bag - hmmm, while we do have a short ski season, I can't imagine this one would have been a big seller for Jaguar Australia.
Oh, and on top of the list price for the car you need to add dealer delivery (up to $3,000), stamp duty (3% of purchase), registration (c$300) and compulsary third party injury insurance ($550). I got a quote on a 2013 XF 2.0 (list price of $68,900), and the driveaway price was $74,035.27! Regards, Rob |
Hi Bevoh,
The clear side markers do make a slight but very nice addition to the car. I have the same color. Worth the few bucks. Most of the clear side markers will have colored light bulbs to comply with local laws but I would still check. As far as the sound goes, do you have the premium sound system? If so what I did to add a little extra bass was cut the input wire going to the 1.5 subs(Second sub is a passive driver) in the rear deck and added a low line converter. Xscorpion SC-LC07 (LC-07) High to Low Compact Line Output Converter I wired the remote line from the front astray. Also ran a power wire from the battery. I went with a low line converter because I have the navigation system and didn't want to install an aftermarket head unit. The only thing I will mention on this is you need a good amp with adjustments to get the volume level right. If not you can get a sound processor. Hifonics MX-3 (mx3) Bass Controller for use with Aftermarket |

Hopefully I can keep it simple and clean enough to maintain some of that Jag class. |
I got them off ebay. They seemed a little looser than the stock ones but have not fallen out after 6 months. :) Have fun with your new Jag, you'll love it!
Jaguar x Type Bumper Side Turn Signal Marker Crystal Clear Chrome Front or Rear | eBay I need to update my profile pic. |
I just noticed that the ebay seller doesn't seem to still be carrying them. These are the same

Unfortunately the bumper side markers won't work in our cars as we don't have them. Rather, the chrome 'blades' go all the way to the wheel arches.
We do have the normal side indicators - these ones would work (but do seem rather expensive): Jaguar X Type Side Indicator Light Lenses Regards, Rob |
