Default introduction

Hello! I've been relying on this forum for years, and have finally made an account. I have a 2004 x-type that I bought in 2010 with 65k miles on it... Today, it has 215k! It's been a really solid car for me, with a few small exceptions... And it's red! I live in San Francisco, CA, but when I bought it, I lived in Tahoe. (I got it because I didn't want to get a Subaru, lol, as that would have been a sign that I was never gonna leave Tahoe!)

Welcome to the forums novium,

That must be parked off the Pacific coast road that I'll never get to drive?

As you've already found your way to the X-Type forum, there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hello,
It's good you got a RED Jaguar and not one of the Boring "colors" currently in fashion; white, gray, dark gray. Yours is Much more fun. And, you'll be able to find it in the parking lot!

I do love the red. The car I'm looking at today as a potential replacement (for a few years, anyway, until we get past this current crush in the market) is silver. I'm fighting the urge to get it painted if I buy it, lol

Welcome to the Forums.

215K miles, just run in, lots of use in that sucker yet.

Good luck.

Thank you! I'm looking at replacing it this weekend, as the engine is showing signs of wear, alas.
