After over one month battle with the dealer, the
dealer is ordering a new prop shaft and differential. According to the dealer, Jaguar
has released new "improved" prop shaft and differential with new part#s. Let you know how it
turns out.


I have a X-Type 2.5 auto, and it has whinning noise above 72MPH. It is noticeable when the traffic is light on a smooth highway. If I just tap the accelerater, the noise
comes back. If I release the accelarater, the noise goes away.

I took it to the dealer 3 weeks ago and it is still in the
shop (This is the 2nd time I took it to the dealer). The dealer admitted the whinning noise. They changed the drive shaft, but it made worse. Now, the dealer is saying that
the whinning noise is on "every" new X-Type, and they cannot do anything about it.

Has anyone experienced this noise? What step should I take
next?

Thanks,
Andrew
