biglee, the jag has a timing chain. So, unless you shut off the engine at a high RPM, the chain will be just fine.

As for problems with the X-Type, a lot of people have issues with the ABS system. Normally it is a bad sensor ring in the rear hubs. That requires a new hub to be installed. A lot of the other problems I am aware of deal with either the transfer case (which the diesel engines do not have since they are all 2wd to my knowledge) and vacuum leaks which would be specific to the petrol engines.
