My car is now at 231680 ish miles.
Its had 2 clutches, 3 radiators, 2 ac compressors, 1 replacement transfer case, one ignition rewire, new rear bushings, 2 starters, and a ton of maintenance.
I plan to drive it into the ground then buy an XE when they get to the 10k range on the used car market.

Hi, new to the forums ... just like yourselves I too have bought a use x type AWD 3.0 and I m a huge car buff on specific makes and models huge ford fan and mechanic.
I moved my family to big bear, ca and was in need of AWD. After months of awd systems and research I picked this Jaguar for its proformance and awd system.
happy owner of a jaguar with only 41,000 on the tac, silver on grey leather int,2004 all bells and whistles Saloon.
the forums have been a big help. Glad there's a place for help, friends and topics.

X-type 2.0D - Just rolled over 140,000 miles and running remarkably well. The advantages of high-mile diesel over petrol I guess.
More than a few 'age issues' in the last year. Water pump, alternator belt, rear suspension mounts. Nothing entirely out of the usual, but fortunately I have a local (and very forgiving) Jaguar specialist mechanic.

106k+
Got mine a tick over 90k (90,077) a bit over 106 now. Haven't done much to it, oil change, brake pads, front right wheel speed sensor, oil sensor that makes the light blink when driving, and that's about it.
No major problems except the AC not working, though there's no leaks. Previous owner had whole ac system replaced by dealership ($3100, he showed me the receipt) and it WAS working fine then one day just stopped. Noone can figure out why, as I even had the dash pulled so they can check, still a no go. My fresh air box stopped opening and closing too, though that's probably just the actuator or maybe even just stuck open or closed, but I haven't had the time to take dash out again and check. I'll wait until spring.
Other then that she drives like a dream, and I drive it hard. Like HARD hard. Porsche hard. So being the paranoid OCD guy I am, I'm about to flush n Fill every fluid I can do myself, replace every sensor I can reach, and every gasket and seal again that I can do on my lonesome. Just because.
Also looking for a good set of Z rated tires. Not that I've ever had any tire problems except once a valve stem broke, and not that I'll ever get to speed where a z rated would fail, but I take Twisties like they are straight a ways, and I just want more grip for safety sake. Also all the bushings. I've only been able to spin the tires twice since I've had it, but once was on gravel and another during a bad rain on brand new blacktop, and I've only got it to drift once on a damn near 90 degree right turn doing like 80 and it only drifted for about 2 secs when the AWD brain kicked in and the tires gripped. THATS how awesome the AWD is on this thing. Rain and snow is just another sunny day for me, and it powers through puddles that would make norman cars hydroplane as soon as they touched it.
I will drive this car until the wheels fall off...then I'm going to put new ones on and keep on driving it.
