Every car I've ever owned addressed some sort of a tire rotation schedule; is this something unique to Jaguar? Comments??
Tom
So is it unique to have a jaguar made in Europe verses here in the states?
Uh, all Jaguars are manufactured in England.
It works fine, but I am already tired of fumbling with this little controller doohicky. I would like to either get the factory changer or cd player. Does anyone know of an aftermarket supplier for these items? Are all X-types pre-wired for the changer? Would I need any other connectors?
Thanks in advance.
Chris
I just bought a 2002 X-type and am loving it. Good luck!

FWIW...the audio options on this car are kind of stupid. Who wants a tape player and no cd these days?

Also, could anyone tell me if the need for an oil change could be the reason the Amber Check Engine light is lit?
Congrats on your new ride!
Here's a link to what I did and what it looks like:

I make BMW and MBZ owner's heads turn :-) :shades: ">
Thanks, I'd appreciate hearing from women and men!
Make sure to shop around before you buy and try to get at least 2003 model as 2002 had a number of mechanicals issues, allegedly fixed in the later models. Good luck!
A. A 32-inch flat screen TV in a box.
I bought the TV yesterday and it fit in the trunk perfectly, down to an 8th of an inch! Try that in a 3-series BMW. Thank you Jag engineers!
I might now consider Lexus. They allow Toyota to work on cars, case by case basis. I thought possibly, since Ford owns Jag, it would be the same, and they would allow Ford to service the car. Both Milwaukee and Minneapolis told me NO!
The Minn. guy did say they would flat bed it up,etc.but that would still leave me without a car, and from reading these forums, they are not without problems. If I lived 30 minutes from a dealership I would just buy one anyway.
Maybe someday,,,,,,
Your car sounds very nice. I'm happy for you,,,and if I see you at that stop light, I'll look you in the eye and wink!
That's another reason I wanted the Jag, I'm downsizing from a SUV, and the AWD sounds perfect for the snow here. Maybe I'll just buy one, and hope it never needs work!
I will be looking out for you at the stop lights !
Enjoy the ride,,,,,,and the envious looks!
There are good cheap jags in lax sometimes, but the lack of a dealer would scare me.

I will have one someday now that I know what the price is on the X-type. Do you have one?
I don't have a x-type, i have a 3-series. Looked at the x-type, waiting for a type R
How was Irishfest? Good crowd?
Cell phone: Leave it alone. Drive. ( pet peeve ).
Irishfest was ok. Small. Milwaukee one is loads better.
Sounds like the red Jag is not for you. It is a good deal for someone out there. :shades:
I think Irishfest was the first attempt - perhaps next year will be better.
Are you looking to replace your BMW (which, I must add the owners of these using a cell phone are in the high percentage, you must be a rare BMW driver ) Or, is the Jag in addition? The Jag sounds like it would be WONDERFUL in Chicago snow, how is the BMW?
Dave, your email is marked private. Mine is janetlacrosse@yahoo.com
My personal opinion is that if you want to be safe in snow, you need snow tires no matter if you have FWD, AWD, or RWD. Drivetrain won't help you stop faster or turn more safely.
There _is_ an audi dealer in LAX. There's a 2001 certified(warrantied) A4 1.8T quattro, light silver, heated seats for $17,900. There's also a lease special on an a4Q 3.2L for $0 dn and 399/mo. If i lived in LAX, i'd probably have an audi, even though it's not my first choice here in chicago.
Also, ya know, if you had a jag under warranty, if something did go seriously wrong, i think they are under some obligation to fix it. However, driving to madison frequently might be a PITB.
I'm looking forward to making both oktoberfest and irishfest next year.

Driving an AWD in Chicago in winter is awesome. Even with the original all-season tires on, I can plough through snowy side-streets (which sometimes don't get ploughed for days) with authority. My wife's FWD is not doing so well in similar conditions. Sure it makes no difference in stopping, but slowing down using your engine is more effective in AWD, as in FWD or RWD you run a greater risk of sliding if you apply too low of a gear for engine braking to one axle. Turns are easier in AWD, too, because you have all 4 wheels pulling through the turn instead of just two (or one if you don't have traction control or limited slip differential). A friend of mine who drives a BMW 545 said that the car was doing poorly in winter time on the original tires, but it made a world of difference when he put winter tires on. Another advantage of the AWD is when I pull the car out of a garage after it snowed all night. Sometimes I don't have the time to move the snow from my driveway in the morning, but the X-Type just goes through it with ease. The X-Type AWD is great not only in winter, but also in rain, when FWDs spin wheels on start at the green light and RWDs fishtail, while I get propelled forward as if driving on dry pavement. Now, if only Jaguar could pefect this AWD system to make it run quiet, that would be awesome!
My glitch is the dealer is more than 90 miles away.
thanks!
