Default My 2005 X-type

New member to the forum and new jaguar owner, and I must say I love this car, just got it this friday, its in great condition inside and out, I think I might have to fix some things (like i can hear a humming sound only when the car is moving, i really don't know if its a humming sound don't know how to describe it, it gets a little louder when the car goes faster just a little bit louder) but hey its a 2005 car.

Anyway wanted to share some pictures a took quickly of it, hope you guys like it.

Noice! Welcome!

Sounds like the tires. But I have no clue. I lived with noisy and screwy tires for a few months when I got mine.

In your cleaning be sure to get some headlight cleaner. They're looking a bit frosty!

Thanks, I hope is the tires if thats the case I can live with that for a little more, the tire brand that the car has don't seem to be the greatest ( Riken - Raptors) never heard of those before.

Yes Im gonna get someone to clear the fog on the headlights.

Nice looking car, my driver side headlight was also foggy but I bought the $8 Turtle Wax Headlight Restorer from autozone and that fixed it pretty nicely. Let's hope that humming is from the tires, because if it's from the Transfer Case(very common) then it will be an expensive fix.
