My Dad recently passed I now have his 2006 X-type with only 40,000 miles on the clock. It was his pride and joy for sure. He managed to always dent and scratch my mom's cars, but never the Jag. Not sure I could bring myself to sell it.

Rust at the rear of the sills is a well-known problem, and difficult to spot because there is a plastic "sill" over the top of it. I have actually seen a sill being installed after the rusted one had been cut out and removed. This was at a Jaguar specialist in Newcastle-under-Lyme, now sadly no longer trading. I used to take my XJ6s there, (X350 models).

@MrAshleydickens 8 месяцев назад

Hey Matt - I used to have to 2.5v6, and loved it.. J gate gearbox, plenty of torque and a lovely drive.. I had the sports trim.. loved it. Looked up the MOT recently, and rusted out to be written off a few years ago, but loved it. Only had 15 year life span though.. rust got the better of it. Anyway, happy new year to you!

@John_Wood_ 8 месяцев назад

Rust kills them all. Mine died at 15 years also. It bled me dry in maintenance costs over the 10 years I owned it. A piece of scrap, although enjoyable to drive when running right.

@philsagar2373 8 месяцев назад

looks like the 2.2 se d spec, these were great cars new, i worked at jag when they came out, always said they would be a great buy when older, just watch for the sills on them, you have to look behind the outer sill covers though to check them and underneath too, the 2.0 had issues with the auto box but other than that great cars, if you can find a late sovereign they were loaded to hell with extras on the final run out models, and the sports are good too.

Hi Matt, I have had a few of these X Types and have found the 2.1ltr petrol FWD model to be the most practical. And I still believe that this car would have been even more practical with a 2ltr four cylinder engine. And then perhaps even a turbo model just for the lead foot who needs to go faster than practical. The V6 only uses more petrol than necessary.

I'm on my second X-Type estate.. 2007, 140,000 miles..stunning car. I'm a great believer in the 'Law of Diminishing Returns'.. My neighbour bought a £40+ thousand pound Mercedes Estate.. every time he steps outside to look at it it's worth a few hundred pounds less. My X-Type estate has all the room needed for my boat and horsey stuff, gives me 50mpg, is manual and wonderful for overtaking, same performance as the petrol version. I would drive it to Greece and back tomorrow without a second thought. Superb cream, stitched leather interior, all the electric bells and whistles, brilliant air-con.. stunning metallic paint.. What would I need to spend to replace it with something more modern and every week suffer the pain of seeing the dashboard light up like a Christmas tree telling me of the list of items in need of attention?

I had a 2004 X Type with the 3 liter petrol (US) and AWD, which I loved. Comfortable, nice to drive, and the engine had a nice exhaust note. Sadly, the ABS went bad after 93,000 miles, and the dealer wanted more than the car was worth to fix it. That car got me hooked on Jags / JLR: I traded it in for a 2015 XF. Which I later swapped for an XE, followed by a Discovery Sport, and now a Defender.

@lucythemoggy1970 8 месяцев назад

Matt, I love the x type but as you say, the sills kill them off, this is normally caused by a foam sound deadening sponge behind the wheel arch liners in the front wings at the bottom of the drain hole. these hold the water in and the mud resulting in rotten sills, there was a vid on RU-vid about it, the amount of mud and water that came out when they poked it with a coat hanger wire was unbelievable! might be worth checking any x type you have or future purchase for this.

@GregoryTKint 8 месяцев назад

Indeed, that is my main worry with this car... It's a lovely car though 👍🏻

@lucythemoggy1970 8 месяцев назад

@@GregoryTKint when you get time, jack up the front of the car undo the screws holding the rear bottom of the liner and you will see a foam sponge in a plastic wrapper. remove that and poke a welding rod or coat hanger and watch the amount of mud and water that comes out! a blocked drain hole is a sure fire way of wet carpets and rusty sills!

I remember considering a X Type as a company car, they looked really stylish when they were first launched. I went for the Mondeo ST24 instead swayed by ‘a 24 valve V6’ 😃 You could add £500 to that by photographing it in a gravel driveway in front of a nice house and pitching it as a ‘classic’. It’s a great value car for the next owner with all that remedial work invested in already👍

Not the same 2.2 diesel engine as the Evoque and Freelander - it's a 2.2 TDCi Ford engine, basically the same type as the earlier 2.0 and as that fitted to the contemporary Transit etc. The Evoque/Freelander unit was the PSA-derived DW12, confusingly also used in some Ford product.

I just paid £1900 for an X-type 3.0 Sovereign AWD with six months MOT left. Only had it a week so still trying not to keep pressing the brake pedal thinking it's the clutch! It's a beautifully appointed car but way smaller than my previous Volvo S80 D5 SE Lux, so getting in and out is more difficult as a disabled (osteoarthritis) person. Vehicle tax was £710 (£745 using direct debit - FFS) and I'm dreading the fuel bills. The ride quality is nowhere near as luxurious as my ancient 1988 XJ6 though and, (dare I say it?), a bit Mondeo-ish. Another thing I've noticed is that (despite its claimed 210bhp) it's very relaxing/quiet to drive slowly... because I'm 63.!!

Hi Matt. Have you ever considered offering overseas clients an opportunity to import vehicles from you to their home country? Obviously all countries have various regulations and restrictions which would need to be thoroughly understood, and the logistics to make it happen may be challenging, but it may well be a viable string to your bow. As an example, I would be interested in engaging you to act on my behalf. Say - 4 or 5 collectable type cars with basic spare parts packages for each, packed in a shipping container and sea freighted to the east coast of Australia. It may also be interesting content for your channel.

Ah! Haven't massively overspent on that lovely-looking jag. Well, I haven't overspent either. Those are good prices at your merch shop, Matt. Been saying it for awhile now that you need a T-shirt with your catch-phrase on it. _"I've massively overspent."_ Even promised to buy the T-shirt if you came out with it. Well, you did. So, promise kept! I ordered the T-shirt a little while ago. Eagerly awaiting its arrival to my door in NYC. Hope your Christmas was a lovely one too, Matt. Cheers! 🍻 👕

I have a soft spot for the x-type and smile when I see one. Had the 3.0 Sport 2001 , 2.2 Sport 2002 and my own one a 2.0 litre petrol 2003. The 3.0 lasted until 2018 but sadly the mechanic I did trust blew both catalytic converters on the 2.0 Litre which broke my heart, they also got bits of metal inside the engine so did a proper number of the poor thing, had to part with it as it was going to cost 1000's to fix. Watching this video made me have happy childhood and young adult memories of being in and driving these cars. Great Video !

If every (any) other used car dealer did your honest sort of refurbishing work on their cars, buying a used car would be the most pleasant and confidence inspiring transaction. Instead, nearly all used car dealers (at least in the US) tend to merely put some lipstick on a pig and sell nearly exclusively utter garbage out the door. You're a real renaissance man.

Great video as usual Matt. Know what you mean about the one finger to thank another driver.😊👍 Wishing you a prosperous New year.

Thanks for another great vid. As you know, every car an owner waiting for it. Somebody will be really chuffed with that Jaaaaag. The one-finger wave? Can't stand it (usually from a bmw, Range Rover or Merc...LOL). The only one finger wave I give is when somebody really annoys me & it's not the index finger......All the best....
