I'm picking up a 54 plate x-type 2.5 S estate at 4pm tomorrow .

was able to covince the mrs that it would be a huge saving in fuel compared to what i traded in. A V6 shogun and i was lucky if i could get 20mpg on a long run, it mostly averaged about 15 (stainless straight through exhaust and heavy right boot)

note to self...... don't buy a loud pipe for the Jag

now off to do some reading

 

Oh sweet, an estate. I'd really like to find an 07 or 08 estate.

Welcome. Hope to hear/see more about your X tomorrow!

 

welcome to the forum

 

Welcome!

 

@Jester

If Scotland was so sunny I wouldn't have left it 14 years ago. It's murder living out here in freezing, rainy California. No, hang on, I've got that wrong somehow.... :-)

Anyway, welcome to Jaguar ownership. I take my hat off to anyone who can afford to run one in the UK these days. I had to wait till I came to the US before I could afford to run my first Jag.

I do like to think of Scotland every now and again..... my license plate helps me a little in that respect !



Again, welcome, hope you get along well with the X type

 

nice plate Sarc

is that the lowland or mountain haggiss on your plate

The Jag should do nearly twice as much MPG as the shogun (if im reasonably careful) and to be honest i can run something with a V6 petrol engine as i dont need it to commute, i have the works van for that

and when we go on holiday touring its by bike. upshot is i only do about 5 - 6000 miles a year
