In Reply to: X-Type Teething problems posted by Adrian Critchley on August 28, 2001 at 14:58:41:
I live in the UK and have had my X-Type for 2 months after I ordered it in Feb. It is a 3 litre Sport manual and I have done 4000 miles in it. I love it but there have been a couple of little niggles:
1. While driving the car home from the showroom there was a slight squeak coming from under the car (nearside rear). Got gradually worse over the next two weeks until I could only drive with the radio on! Tried everything to find out what it was. Took it to my dealer (Lancaster Reading) whotook 2 seconds to sort it. Turns out the handbrake cable passes through a rubber loop that needed to be greased. Hence I could not find the problem because, like all good motorists, I park with the handbrake on!
2. The doors look automatically when the speed of the car exceeds 5mph. Sometimes, when I stop the car and turn the engine off, I am unable to open the car doors. I have to use the Key button. Not good if in an accident....
This auto-lock feature can be turned off by a dealer.
3. Today, my fuel gauge has a mind of its own. It has gone from being just under half full to being a quarter full in the space of about 3 miles. Will keep an eye on it.
4. Other pepople being Envious! I have never known a car bring out such emotions in people.
As I said earlier, I still love it despite the niggles.
If you are thinking of buying one, Go For It!!!

Has anyone had any teething problems with their kittens (Baby Jag - get it?). I've placed an order for one via Germany (I live in the UK), and would be greatful of any experiences to date. Many Thanks
