His toy is broken and he is mad.

Our toys still work and we are happy.

He's jealous that our toys aren't broken and that we are happy, but he wants to make us to feel bad too, so he calls our toys "stupid"

....pretty sure you can see this behavior in kids from ages 2 and up....

I guess disco's are like fat chicks. According to iownme, they're only fun until your friends find out...

100% of all X-Types are still on the road. There has never been a single reported problem in the history of the X-Type Jaguar.

You're the one that bought one, obviously you are D-U-M, dumb.

Quote by the Spike:
You call a super model fat and she's going to slap you, you drive a Rover with a coolant leak and its going to break
You drive any vehicle without maintaining it properly and it will eventually break.
So the OP has a 2000 that was probably neglected (not by him) at some point during its life and things break and now he's belly aching about it. We're all in the same boat, if you don't want to deal with the pain then sell the vehicle, simple as that.

Yep, mine is at 125k, daily driver. Runs great, no issues. Sorry about your luck. I'm sure your JAG will be very Honda like. Lol

Oh an X type!! A 4 wheel drive ford taurus with 150 HP and a transmission made of raisins/dry spaghetti/pretzel rods....

In 2 minutes of google searching.

"TIME magazine described the X-Type as the "British Cadillac Cimarron" in its "50 Worst Cars of All Time" list"

Haha Came in 46 out of 51 "worst cars ever made"

Good choice.

none of your answers have any validity and i'm shocked that rather than help me out you just badmouth the jag and say how fine the LR is.
IMHO the LR is a piece of ****e. Crappy gas milage, and ugly to boot. The only off roading i would do in it is over a high cliff.
Have any of you actually owned an X type?...i highly doubt it.
Well thanks for your stupid answers. each one absolutely no use to me.
I'm done....don't waste your time with more answers to this thread...its time to take down my ebay classified ad and throw it in an auction
thanks again
Don't get mad and take it out on me, I am only trying to help. I have never said that the Land Rover is fine in fact I will be the first to state that they are unreliable and poorly designed in many areas. If you are fed up with your truck than the Jag is not the solution to your problems, trust me. If you are going to go into a rage every time something breaks than the Jag is not worth the risk either. Your friends might be bulletproof but most are not and how do you know if the one that you are buying is one of the few bulletproof ones. As for the "experts'' on the Jag forum they are all going to talk good about the cars just like this forum talks good about Land Rovers. If you go to the MG, Triumph, Lotus, Volkswagen, Fiat, and Peugeot forums they are all going to talk about how great they are when in reality they are all unreliable. I have never owned an x-type but considered one once and did research and asked many owners what were their thoughts and most said they sucked and couldn't wait for the lease to end. How many 10+ year old Land Rover's, Mercedes, BMW's, Honda, Toyota, and Volvos do you see on the road, quite a few. How many 10+ year old x types do you see on the road, not many.

So I guess I was wrong it's not on the 100 worst it's on the 50 worst. By the way it's not a Ford Taurus it's a Ford Contour.
