Was just wondering how much you guys have spent on your x type this month so far i have brought so far.

X2 universel c.v boots @ £20.55

Brembo brake covers @ £9.40

X6 litre's castrol magnatec 5w 30 @ £35.97

Genuine jaguar power steering additive @ @ £10.00

Front Black drilled and grooved brake discs @ £49.99

K&N oil filter @ £8.99

spark plugs @ £12.50

X2 Rear lower control arms @ £55.00

Not a bad list but i will be happy when i can enjoy this car with out having to worrie about it all the time.

If any one would like links to any of the part just ask.

 

Power steering additive?

 

I make that a total of £202.40 ($320.78).

Look on the bright side. Think how much you've saved on fuel whilst you were doing all that maintenance work.

Hello Fixit,
Your list appears quite reasonable for a 2001 with typical milage.
How many miles/Km?
I've a similar list over the past two years. Several oil changes. Replaced warped front brake rotors. Had a cracked weld on a trailing arm re-welded.
All said, not much maintenance for a 2004 with over 120,000 miles.

best regards,
Bill

Its used to quite down noisey power steering pumps.

 

I dont think im going to be using the car next week lol £202.40 may not be alot to most people but as im waiting to start a new job i feel it when i have to spend on the car.

 

I have 171000miles which is quite high.

There's a TSB on rectifying Power Steering Squeak:

TSB JTB00055 - Power Steering Squeaking Repair Procedure.pdf

Apparently the noise is due to the pinion seal in the power steering running dry and the sound is transmitted up the column and into the cabin.

The TSB suggest it's a temporary solution and not a permanent fix.
