Jag x-type, beautiful when it ran but hell on earth when it stopped running.
the problem with these cars is that their problems literally limp the car and take away from even just regular driving.
i bought an 02 xtype off my brother as a winter beater, nice little v6, all wheel drive, heated everything, leather seats, fully loaded etc
theyre engineered and chained TERRIBLY.
The tranny computer is in the WOAT location in the drivers side footwell
and the A-pillar seal eventually breaks over time, so water gets in from the windshield, soaks the tranny computer, shorts it and starts throwing codes and a whole bunch of other shyt. same thing with the ECM, it gets soaked and the car gets fukked. "Gearbox Fault" a notorious and crippling jag/ land rover problem.
after the computer problems the car would only drive in gear 2 or reverse, so i couldnt even drive it in regular traffic(only 1 gear and it would take 2 minutes to get to 12 miles per hour)
i even replaced the tranny computer (had to get it reprogrammed to vin and could only be done at jaguar
for the low price of $500)
and after that a week later it threw the fault again so i just sold the car for parts.
damn shame, such a beautiful car and smooth drive
