The roadtax is $1328/yr for X-type, almost same as a 2.0 liter car roadtax at $1200/yr. As for the software downloading part, dont really understand but i check with malayan motor. Thanks for your help. cheers.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwchoy Neutral Newbie October 13, 2009 Share October 13, 2009 does any of you X-type owners experience the gearbox not wanting to engage fully when you trod hard on the accelerator? the tacho would go from say 2K rpm to 4-4.5K rpm, but the gear box would kind of not be engaged such that the car does not accelerate.

Exprimez Neutral Newbie January 25, 2010 Share January 25, 2010 Hi Guys..Wondering if there is a X-type group or something like dat in singapore? i drive a 2.5, for bout 1.5yrs. great car. i have never gone to mm for servicing.ridiculous pricing. very interested to be part of the x-type group(if there is 1) :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverleaper Neutral Newbie January 25, 2010 Share January 25, 2010 Hi Exprimez and all, I'm currently driving a Oct 06 X-Type. Unfortunately, there's no X-Type Owners Group, not even one for all Jag owners : ) Guess, people who own this kind of cars (at least in S'pore) are not the car club types. Moreover, Jags are not popular in the aftermarket/ accessories market so even less chance for enthusiasts to gather. As for servicing, if you have not gone to MM for servicing before, I assume you base your assessment on other people's experience? I'll be going for my first have-to-pay servicing (58k mileage) at MM tomorrow, so let's see how it goes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exprimez Neutral Newbie January 28, 2010 Share January 28, 2010 hi silver how was yr servicing experience at MM? well i did not hear from ppl comments abt MM but had a personal experience from them..i remember a quotation i got from them..labour to do some simple repair was 800 bucks excluding parts..now i actually source the parts elsewhere and get any workshop to do repairs... i believe there are ppl who would be interested in a jaguar group ...maybe we could be the pioneer ...

Silverleaper Neutral Newbie January 29, 2010 Share January 29, 2010 Hi bro, MM took 2 days to service my car despite my prior appointment and dropping off the car at 6.45am (24hr drop-off). They spent a lot of time checking the whole car (I asked to see the checklist and joblist, saw they even have figures for thickness of brake discs, condition of the ARB bushings, damper condition etc). The customer service was good (as in reception, service advisor's actions and how they respond to my queries and needs) and the servicing charges seems reasonable except two of the items, as follows (excl. GST): - 1) $563/- Package to change engine oil (6l Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40, oil filter, 500ml brake fluid, pollen filter, labour to check and change); 2) $175/- a pair of front brake pads, $105/- labour (claim have to remove wheels and clean calipers); 3) $40/-, change the pair of wipers (blades + frames), $30/- labour(!?! next time will change myself); 4) $55/- driver side windscreen jet, no labour charge; 5) $175/- driver side headlamp power wash assembly (jet spray motor and cover), $50/- labour to spraypaint and replace. Mileage was 58k, service interval is every 16k km. This was my 4th servicing. Looking forward to fellow X-Typers to share their servicing experiences Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheepo 3rd Gear February 5, 2010 Share February 5, 2010 I hope I am not sidetracking too much... but can someone let me know if the S-Type is a reliable Jag ? Jaguar has been winning all these JD Power ranking these past few years so does that mean recent models ie. 2007 onwards are all good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They installed in their BMWs & have preached about it since...cost about $200? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
