Winter
Winter is when these cars shine, with the AWD, you never get stuck, at least I never did last winter. I just took the car to the self service car wash a lot and made sure I got the undercarriage and the drain holes under the hood.

07 JagWag clocking 77K
Bought new in Dec 06 in Tampa. The "$$$" light (a.k.a. "check engine light") popped on recently and it turned out to be related to the fuel injectors. Bad gas? Who knows. I usually go to Hess but they don't advertise all those fuel additives like Shell or Mobil do. Anyone have a view on that? I'm considering changing to Sunoco or places that don't add ethanol. Anyway, $474 later the car is back to normal. Although I'm beginning to notice a ticking sound coming from behind the dash that comes and goes when I'm idling (not the A/C fan or anything related to climate control). Also the transmission seems a little noisier after being on the xway and back on surface streets. My Jag tech says I won't need to change the trans fluid until 100K but I'm thinking of doing it sooner. I love my JagWag - only 1600 of these buggers were brought to N. America and after 5 years of driving around I'm still being questioned by curious onlookers that they didn't know Jaguar made a wagon. (They don't anymore, so they're rightfully curious, I guess!)

miles on the X type
currently sitting at 90200, i put about 500 miles on a week. 98% interstate cruise at 72 mph, change oil every 3-4000 miles, just cleaned k& air filter after 50000 miles and it had a pound of dirt in there, will be cleaning at 25000 i think.
air box mod done, EBC rotors and red stuff pads with 18 inch wheels and eagle f1 for rubber. Car drives like a dream so far.
Plug and wire change soon.

I guess I'll update mine since I just noticed the mileage on the way in to work today. 2004 3.0 purchased August of '08 with 42,000. I now have 75,555. Have only had two issues that weren't covered under my extended warranty which just expired and that was a wheel speed sensor and the brake booster vacuum hose . Everything else has been routine stuff.

Update to our mileage 77000+ now. 2 more long distance trip have added some miles, last fall to Tampa, FL and this past spring to Yorktown, VA both went well with the MPG staying at 31 highway. No additional work has been needed only routine maintenance.
Forgot to mention that this is our daily driver. It's been very reliable since we bought it 4 years ago.

Miles ?
I now have 103,000 mi. Not km. On the cat. She runs strong and true. New rotors and pads,(2) two new hoses for throttle body heat replaced, fuel filter, and plugs.
I change motor oil,diff,and transfer case and trans fluid regularly . It's been the best car I have ever owned.
And I drive it year round here in BC CANADA. Snow, rain and heat. Through mountain passes and in the city.

2003 X-Type 2.5 Auto. Just over 63,000 miles. Bought it about 3 years ago with just over 30k miles for a little over $13k in Dallas. Only major surprise was the (well documented on these forums) A/C clutch plate fall-off. Fixed it myself by trying to canibalize the clutch plate from an internet rebuilt compressor, but the splines were slightly different (of course), so I had to break into the refrigeration system and replace the whole compressor. It's made two Texas summers now, so I consider it a success.
Tires have been an issue. Changed the original set (Continental somethings) due to road hazard with GY Eagle F1's. They only lasted about 22k miles before another road hazard tear, so just this weekend got 4 Continental ProContact 16's. They are much quieter and feel better than the Goodyears. That's probably a subject for a different thread.
Son wrecked it into a curb, pushed the left front wheel back into the fender. Insurance company recommended a Buick dealership (!) in College Station (scene of the crime) for repairs, and they fixed it perfectly. Got a check engine light on now, but don't know the problem. It still runs great, have had an '02 Buick check engine light on for many years now, so not sure when I will get around to dealing with it. Open for suggestions on what code reader is best for the X-Type.
