#2278 of 2563 Re: Should I buy? [libraryguy] by axiomlover Nov 15, 2005 (8:05 am)
Replying to: libraryguy (Nov 10, 2005 12:24 pm) Yes, I am generally very happy with the Jaguar. I like the way it is put together and the combination of performance (2.5 with stick is a blast to drive, you can take it to 120 mph in no time and I have smoked the tires on a couple of occassions, you just need to keep the rpm high) and fuel economy is quite acceptable at 19-20mpg in mixed, mostly heavy traffic with frequent stops, including my performance runs to the red line. Not to mention the status of being a Jaguar owner. However, with that said, I still have a horsepower itch that only a Pontiac GTO could scratch (400 horses and 400 lb/ft of torque). I will certainly drive the Jag through Chicago winter as AWD really makes a difference, then I will reconsider in March.

As much as i like RWD, you might want to keep the jag to drive in the slippery stuff if the alternative is the GTO in the winter. An s4 or s60R might be other anti-itch ointments.   dave
#2280 of 2563 Improved Performance by axiomlover Nov 21, 2005 (9:43 am)
I now have over 11K miles on my 2.5 X-Type and I noticed considerable improvement in acceleration, especially in the mid-range. Have any of you noticed the same? Perhaps the car is finally broken-in. Replies to this message: oldengineer (Nov 22, 2005 8:20 pm)
#2281 of 2563 How do you save radio presets on 03 x-type?? by chrisclaude Nov 22, 2005 (7:49 am)
I misplaced the manual and need to change my FM station presets. This is the only pet peeve I have with our 03 X-Type is that the radio is not very intuitive like Japanese cars. Replies to this message: axiomlover (Nov 22, 2005 3:25 pm)
#2282 of 2563 04 X Type 2.5 by ckell626 Nov 22, 2005 (2:18 pm)
I have a 2004 X type with 22,000 miles and the starter has already gone...is that odd? Thanks

Replying to: chrisclaude (Nov 22, 2005 7:49 am) Just press the appropriate number on the radio pad and hold it for a few seconds. The station will be saved on that number.
#2284 of 2563 Re: Improved Performance [axiomlover] by oldengineer Nov 22, 2005 (8:20 pm)
Replying to: axiomlover (Nov 21, 2005 9:43 am) My 03 2.5 did the same thing at about 20K, just after one of my service visits to the dealer. It was so noticeable that I called them and asked them if they had re-programmed the car's computer or something to cause it. They indicated that all they did was an oil change. I don't know what caused it - but -I sure enjoy the extra power.   Regards: Oldengineer
#2285 of 2563 X-Type Clutch Problems by felipe1 Nov 28, 2005 (3:53 pm)
Looking for any and all owners whom have had clutch failure problems in 2004 X-Type Jags. Replies to this message: axiomlover (Nov 29, 2005 1:48 pm) felipe1 (Dec 05, 2005 12:30 pm) axiomlover (Dec 06, 2005 5:53 am)

Replying to: felipe1 (Nov 28, 2005 3:53 pm) What do you mean by clutch failure? Mine gets stiff at times and especially when it is cold out, but it works fine otherwise. Give us more background to your problem. Replies to this message: felipe1 (Dec 05, 2005 12:30 pm) axiomlover (Dec 06, 2005 5:53 am)
#2287 of 2563 Cold weather by axiomlover Dec 05, 2005 (10:08 am)
The winter has finally arrived in Chicago. It was 7 F this morning (-5 F wind chill). I had to park my car outside last night and it started fine this morning, but my clutch was so stiff that it would get stuck to the bottom the first few times I depressed it. There was also a whine noise coming from the engine compartment, which would go away when the clutch was depressed. The car would also make squealing noises moving forward for the first 0.5 mile. The gear stick was very difficult to move. Anybody else having similar cold-weather issues?
