I went to look at the faq but i am not able to view as i am a new member.
let me ask a quick question, I have to replace 2 studs on the rear hub. long story, my wife hit a curb and the lugs were on so tight that i snapped 2 studs trying to remove the broken wheel. as it was windy and 30 degrees out i was not happy. I'm looking but i cant figure out the stud size, any ideas?

Get stuck in to that FAQ.......

 

thank you for the help.

 

Jim is always helpful too

 

cheers Kris .....I'll pay ya later as agreed

 

Hahaha anytime bro

 

i read through the faq's and i still cant fint the stud size for the hub. do i have to replace the entire hub and bearing assembly?

 

sorry digger, I thought it may have been
Hopefully Thermo / Buck / or one of the switched on Xtypers will drop by and help out.....In the meantime we'll BUMP this thread for max exposure.
Good luck

 

thanks, i'm not sure i want to trust the 19 year old behind the parts counter when they have already given me the wrong set of spark plugs and stated that no one has ever asked for jag parts before..lol

 

digger, please do yourself a favour and check out our vendors section....We have some excellent Jag specialist vendors who have a great name for price / service and reliability on site for supplying a wide range of spares.

I'm positive they could sort you out with what you need very quickly

 

that will work for future parts.... but i have to get the car road ready by this weekend. in iowa i have a jag dealer that has to order parts or a local parts store, limited options for a quick repair

 

jag part number c2s50885 and it says its m12 x 42mm. hope this helped.

 

good morning all, its been a while since i've been on. two teenaged girls, i have to fight for computer time in between running them all over town.
also the jag has been in the body shop for a couple weeks thanks to a work truck backing into me, about 5 grand in damages. i will try to post a pic.

i do have a guestion about my 2002 x-type 3.0
i had a leak in the coolant tank and replaced last year. replaced with a used one as it was all i could find at the time. i has now started leaking. i found a new one to replace it with, but before i do an damage another one, is there something i should look for as the cause or is this something that happes often. i did see the same stress fractures on both tanks in the same places- right on the inner seal were they are joined.
what do you think.

 

digger, unfortunately, that is a design flaw of the tanks. The only "fix" (use this term loosely) that I have heard of is people have used a drill and gotten rid of the piece on the tank and then went out and bought a brass bar piece to slide in there in place and then used some epoxy to seal things back up. Not sure how long it would last, but so far things seem to be holding out.

The other option you can try (not sure how it would work) is to get some thin super glue and epoxy. Then at each end where the crack is just starting, drill a small 1/16" to 1/8" hole to stop the crack from going any further (stress relief hole) and then use the epoxy to fill that hole. Then you can stress the tank just slightly to open up the crack and put a drop after drop of the super glue along the crack until the superglue has filled the crack. The superglue will wick along the crack due to capillary action (hence why I talk about the thin superglue).

Hope this helps you get things figured out. May want to try it on an old tank first to get the hang of what is happening here. That way if things go south on you, you are not out anything.
