I have a 2002 x-type 3.0, it seems like the fans are cycling off and on, when it gets hot, they are staying off longer than running and the car will get out and give me a warning that the engine temp is hot. has anyone seen this.

 

I meant the the car will get hot

 

Yes, very common. Google "cheap jaguar fan control modules" and grab a module from the junkyard to replace it with

 

I can drive my car approximately on 100 models then I'll lose all the water in my reservoir in my car overheat what you think this problem could be

 

I was playing with my air conditioner all of a sudden my car got hot I shut the air conditioner off let my car cool down and filled it up I drove all over the place the next day and then drove 100 miles to my house when I got off the freeway my car overheated and there was no water in the reservoir can somebody give me an idea what this problem might be

 

Most likely places to start are the reservoir tank iteslf. They are known to crack, especiaally by the upper nipple. Also check the water pump. They seem to be good for about 100K before they start leaking or fail.

The cause of your X-Type's coolant loss may be relatively easy to find and fix, but don't drive without coolant as that can make the problem much worse. So until it's fixed, drive only short distances after you fill the reservoir, carry some extra water, and stop frequently to recheck and refill the coolant level. It's unsafe to open the coolant reservoir while the engine is still hot, since water can flash to steam when the pressure is released. So it's best to plan short trips where the engine has time to cool before you refill the reservoir and drive again. That's not to say I've never added coolant while the engine was still hot. Just saying it's not recommended, and be very careful if you do this.

First, let's look at two reasons X-Type's leak coolant that are relatively easy to detect and not too hard on your wallet to fix: The coolant reservoir and the water pump.

Look to see if coolant has leaked onto the top of your transmission. Open the hood and stand by the driver-side fender. With a flashlight, look between the black battery box on your left and the brake master cylinder on your right, down onto the top of the transmission.

If you see coolant puddled, or dried orange-brown coolant stains under the far side of the battery box, towards the small pulley and belt, the leak may be from your water pump (which is the right-most pulley). Fortunately, the water pump is relatively easy to replace after you remove the battery & box for easy access.

If there's coolant puddled, or there is dried orange-brown stains under the brake master cylinder (where you add brake fluid), the leak is likely from your coolant reservoir. When these plastic bottles get old, they're prone to stress cracks where the nipples connect to the bottles, and in the flat bottom.

Here's a couple recent threads showing pictures of stress-crack leaks in the reservoir bottom and nipples:
