I am about to get rid of my A3 1.8 quattro turbo 180hp and invest in a jaguar X-Type 3.0 sport. Does anyone on here have one or has had one and should i be aware of any faults with them

Have you got the right forum?
I think you are looking for www.pipeandslippers.com
Seriously, no I don't know anything about those

Well the only fella I do know with one has spent thousands last winter repairing a gearbox and centre diff - his was 4WD. Other than that he loves it, though it cracks him up that his big cat cannot catch my tired looking old Audi.Paul Nugent

Try honestjohn.co.uk and look at the car-by-car guide and backroom forums. Very thirsty for the (mediocre) performance IMHO and instrumentation not up to AUDI standards. Depreciating fast and useless without split fold rear seats. Tight and smooth low milers but the older ones Ive driven felt rather soggy and vague. Still love the x type shape though but 2.5 S type is far better...but look awful.Comment

I still have the S2 but i'm looking for some comfort in my old age plus you can tune the 3.0 up to 331hp. Just looking to try to not take the S2 over 200000 miles this yearsigpicComment

I guess it depends what you want to spend, you could buy something cheaper to keep the miles off the S2Comment

S6 OR S8 more comfort more pace

4wd 3l v6 X Types EAT and i mean EAT front tyres!!!!!!
Had 2 different year X types in for MOT recently, inner edge of both front tyres was down to the cords on both cars when the outer 3/4 was mint....
One had handbrake at full travel and after stripping down the centre console to look for an adjuster found out that it's an auto tensioner and has a Jag recall to change to a manual one
That's a hour of my life i won't see again............
One had a rear damper leak at 57k- Jag part only- £75 + the dreaded to you sir and about 2 hrs a side labour..........
Choose very carefully.............Comment

Well if you ask me !
Agree with the s6 or s8 suggestion, a Jag is a risky idea, or what about spending the extra money set aside for the Jag on the keeping the S2 mint, running perfectly and well able to do the next 100K to bring it up to 300K?
BTW what shocks and springs are fitted to your S2 that it is uncomfortable?
My tuppence.
Kind regards.Comment
