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?

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).

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👍

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 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.

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 KZbin 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.

My father had two X-Type one he got with a small ding in the wing for £960. Wing off bay in colour for £60 and drove it for 4 years and 80,000 miles, they were very underrated car and the touches of luxury for the time, leather, wood, cruise etc for a car that wasn't expensive new

Hope you and the family had a great Christmas Matt, and some well deserved time off! Great video as always.

I've owned a couple of x type jags one with the v6 petrol and the other was the 2.2d Great cars in my opinion if you can find one that's been looked after and doesn't have the dreaded rot And also an honourable mention to the s types too

Lol I have the 2008 and your experiencing the Phantom Jag knock .. One of the best things about the X-type you can do a lot of the work on the driveway , if you enjoy that type of thing

I used to hyave x-type. Racing green colour. I bought it because it was a Jag and it actually looked good. And there the positives end. It ended up being my most expensive car that comes to repairs and maintenance. Let's just say the heated seat broke twice during my 1,5 years of ownership.
