Jaguar Problems
No car is perfect, but we've gathered everything relating to the Jaguar reliability here to help you decide if it's a smart buy.
X-Type rough on bumps
If the Pedders blokes can't find anything, and I'm a huge fan of the brand, then it's likely a softer-riding tyre will help. The X-Type is based on a Ford Mondeo, so you could be expecting too much.
Jaguar vs the Germans
The XE is a classy car and, after a preview drive in Europe, I think it will work for you as a downsizing choice. Writers rate Jaguar below the Germans because of the make's history and quality, as well as personal experiences of problems.
Reliability doubts about Jaguar Land Rover
Yes, there are still reliability doubts about products from Jaguar Land Rover.
2004 Jaguar X Type rust on suspension and control arms
If it's surface rust it should be acceptable to clean it off and apply a protective coating, and that's what I suspect it is. If it were structural rust that's a different matter, but it's unusual for suspension components to be affected this way. It would seem on the surface that the mechanic is being over zealous. Find an engineer acceptable to Queensland Transport to assess the rust for you and go from there.
