RE: Common repairs poll
I've had the car for 4 years and just last month the defroster vents went POP. Gonna get it fixed next service. Other than that I had to get the driver door lock fixed just one day after i got the car cause it wouldn't open sometimes from inside. Apparently this was a common problem on the first batch of x-types.

RE: Common repairs poll
Yeah, I suppose you're right on that and I guess your babbling has some meaning behind it.
Last week got into a minor accident (least I thought it was). There was about 4 inches of snow on the ground and I lost control, was doing bout 30 mph and after 3 - 360's avoiding on-coming traffic, a tree, 10 foot ditch and a house, playing with the gas and brake has no effect on ice. Ended up hitting a curb with my right rear rim/tire. No flat or rim damage and I thought I was ok.....took it to the dealer just to be safe since I did notice the steering was off just a hair, but she drove true and no pulling. After they looked at it and presented me the bill, I was like.....you sure you looked at the right Jag???!! 3k in damages. Upper control arm assy, hub, lower assembly 4 wheel alignment and they say no damage to the rim at all, not even a scuff mark.....wow! Glad the insurance got the tab on that one!
So, lesson learned....all wheel drive = BAM! = $$ :-)
Pocket book took a hit but man I gotta tell ya she rides soo nice.......just watch the snow and ice.....don't get too cocky...
Go ahead say it...get it over with...lol

No, i didn't glue my vents down. I opened the window while driving and chucked them out, now i don't have that problem of them falling out.
Just kidding....mine are good.....i drive an 05 so hopefully they fixed that little problem prior to building my baby...
