Soz to open post but couldn't for the life of me figure how to add a gallery picture to a private message. Kept asking for a URL, lol.

Remember our discussion of 5 speed with overdrive feel? Accepted your explanation, then tonight pulled out my paperwork for something else (Carfax info) & found the sticker from the car. Look at the transmission info.

 

Decided to look and see if any others were listed for sale that way. Figured you'd appreciate this one, LOL!!

 

As an aside, does anyone know the difference between a 4 door high and a 4 door base (vin coding 51 & 52)?

 

Dell, I believe the difference is all interior trim stuff. There were a few "limited production" trims that the X-Type got for limited markets. If you have one of those, then your VIN would have the 52 designation. Most X-Types are going to have the 51 designation.

 

Thx, mine's 51. Odd that a "higher trim" would be labeled 4 door base over 4 door high?? Meh.....

 

Dell, looking at the shop manual, it doesn't go into a lot of info as to what the plate numbers actually entail. But, you have number 51 thru 56:

51 - 4 door, 5 seat saloon high series
52 - 4 door, 5 seat saloon entry series
53 - 4 door, 5 seat saloon sport series
54 - 5 door, 5 seat wagon high series
55 - 5 door, 5 seat wagon entry series
56 - 5 door, 5 seat wagon sport series

Maybe the membership can start posting pics of the interior to see if we can spot differences between the plate numbers. Atleast the 51-53 and 54-56 differences are pretty obvious in that one is the basic sedan, the other is the estate (hatch back) set-up. The bigger question is the differences between the high, entry, and sport.

 

 

One plate down (51), now to see if we can find members with a 52 or 53 plate.

 

Sorta, that's the 51 sport

So mine says 51 high =
17" wheels, moonroof, nav (touchscreen), rain sensing wipers, cdc (trunk), 8 way power seats, heated seats, 10 speaker audio, adjustable & telescoping wheel leather and birds eye maple, message center on dash and under media (1 cd there) with time, outside temp, inside temp setting on that one, NO DSC, homelink 3 button, champagne colored everything: leather seats, dash, carpets, roof, & birds eye maple wood trim.

 

Kinda really think his IS the 53? Idk......

 

 

My 06 wagon was built July 05. It is a "54". Has 17" wheels, DCS, no navigation, non sport version.

Found an original post of Jaguar discussing the X (2006 model), the trim is a bit lower (note: 16" wheels) =
