Replying to: rcanning (Aug 01, 2008 4:36 pm) I had a 2.5 X automatic and, now, have a 06 3.0 automatic. Some thoughts on your fuel economy problem/; 1. Run good premium gas - not the blended stuff. 2. Run your tire air pressure at the high speed levels - 38 psi fronts and 35 for the rears. 3. Make sure the engine is not overfilled with oil - They don't hold 7 quarts, but, several times the dealer overfilled my car.   The 2.5 I had would deliver low 20's MPG in town and 26 - 28 MPG on interstate runs.   Hope this helps: Oldengineer
#2518 of 2563 X Type loss of Power by markvii Aug 05, 2008 (1:44 pm)
3 Times under heavy acceleration my 3.0 manual has a catastropfic power failure, very rough idle, no repsonse to the pedal. I pull over shut it off wait starts right up like nothing ever happened. no lights or codes.. Ideas? ..(2002 by the way) Replies to this message: oldcem (Aug 05, 2008 7:41 pm) markvii (Aug 06, 2008 3:11 am)

Replying to: markvii (Aug 05, 2008 1:44 pm) Its possible that you've got some water in the fuel tank. Run a can of drygas through it to see if that eliminates the problem. These cars also have a fuel tank shaped like a saddle and use 2 fuel pumps. One is a low pressure transfer pump that pumps gas from one side to the other, and, the other one is the pump that delivers fuel under high pressure to the fuel injectors. If your problem is occuring primarily at low fuel levels, then your transfer pump may be malfunctioning. My X developed a bad hiccup at idle and was down on power - a dose of drygas fixed it.   Regards: Oldengineer Replies to this message: markvii (Aug 06, 2008 3:11 am)

Replying to: oldcem (Aug 05, 2008 7:41 pm) OE,   I'll try thr dry gas fix.. It's a rare occurance, 3x in my three years with it. great car, as you probably already appreciate.   Thanks
#2521 of 2563 Frame and suspension damage by egel1 Aug 06, 2008 (7:37 am)
I have an 06 X-Type with 9000 miles. I bought it from a dealer with 7000 miles on it and had it shipped 1700 miles on an open carrier. After awhile, I noticed handling problems, as well as suspension and tire noises. Having the car checked by my local Jag dealer, they found damage to the sub-frame hub carrier, which I had replaced but now it won't go into alignment, needing suspension parts that are damaged. Parts that need replacement are front lower wishbones, and hub assembly and vertical links, both sides for each. I didn't incur the damage. Any ideas how this degree of damage could have occured?
#2522 of 2563 X type Shift Boot Cracks by markvii Aug 07, 2008 (4:00 am)
I have an 02 X Type manual shift. I have has the shifting boot replaced 2x ( $140) . It is now cracked again across the front. I used Armoral liberally and it still cracked. Suggestions?  I'm thinking of removing it and get it made of leather at a local amish shop. Anyone know how to remove it?

Replying to: possum61 (Aug 01, 2008 5:27 pm) Thanks for your replys, more questions for you tho, only had this jag for a few months and is my 1st jag, thinking of chopping it in already tho. u mention 25-27 MPG from yours!? mine is a constant four wheel drive 60% back 40% front, I guess this must have a really negitive effect on fuel (MPG). the car i'm looking at buying I cant afford at the mo so am odopting the idea of performance upgradings (any suggestions? without making it look modified/a max power wanna be?) and forgetting MPG what you think?
