The Jaguar X Type ? The family daily Mondeo TDCi runaround might be starting to have injector trouble so i'm looking at a spacious diesel alternative. The X Type Jags around 5 years old are going for around 5K. Cheap tax, good mpg, good spec etc . . . so what's the catch ? All comments / advice good or bad welcome. cheeRS

 

as far as i know you will be swopping a mondeo diesel for a mondeo diesel with a frilly dress as they both use the same running gear

 

Well My Old Man's got one AND owned it for the last 5 year.

2.0 V6 petrol ... The only problem is a sticky rear caliper. (Mondeo Caliper )

The Blue Estate Diesel. 4x4's are class ...

 

i have had one for about 2.5 years and the clutch is starting to go and has the symptoms of the injector problems as the mondeos.

been a very good car though, 55 plate 2.0 se, has everything on it you need really.

 

Never Heard of any injector problems .. Whats it all about?

The owld fellas put 50k on his and no engine problems.

 

just the same as the mondeo problems.

got told by the mechanic when it went in for the service that one was on the way out, i declined to get it fix there and then as there Ł200 each then need re-programming.

 

That's why i need to look for another car. Are all the X Types fitted with the Mondeo injectors ?

 

maybe the diesel varients are as there all Fords really.

 

i cant help it everytime a diesel x type drives past all i think of is transit

 

there not that bad lol.

 

I like the X-Type Estates in the Sport spec. Even though its got pretty council underpinnings, I'd still pay that bit extra for the Jag.


Cheers,
