New Jaguar owner, not very pleased... Okay now I am happier because of this forum! :)
Hello fellow Jag owners. My wife INSISTED on buying a 2002 X Type 3.0 Auto transmission. So far it has been back to the people who sold it to her at least 9 times with no resolution to our problems. I stumbled upon this forum searching for answers so I can just fix the $^*& thing myself. I am a marine electrician with 41 years experience, working on everything from your basic diesel boat to robotics. I can't get the used car dealer to give me a printout of the codes and I am actively trying to get our X type to our euro guy to get scanned. Until then I am eagerly reading all the GREAT information available here!!!!

I'm sure you'll get the answers you need here. As I've said before I wouldn't have bought a Jaguar without this forum.
As Norri says a cheapo code reader is invaluable - but make sure it gives you live data as well as just the codes. There's a whole thread on OBD readers on the forum.
I think all modern cars are so complex it's a miracle they work at all. Give me a Perkins and a big hammer any time !
