It's obvious why Matt's channel is growing so quickly, the content is top notch! Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Thank you! Very kind
New aspect ratio is great
Its not just content. It's the absence of ego and lack of forced personality that so many channels suffer from.
@@sandersson2813 thank you. Very kind of you

My Dad recently passed I now have his 2006 X-type with only 40,000 miles on the clock. It was his pride and joy for sure. He managed to always dent and scratch my mom's cars, but never the Jag. Not sure I could bring myself to sell it.
Make sure to spray it to protect rusting if you keep it
My condolences to you. Keep the Jag if you can, you'll be glad in the future. Best wishes from Ireland.
Don't listen to these idiots below!! i sold one of these cars to a Terminal ill Man in Cheshire , his dying wish was to own a Jag , I made sure he did !! i sold him a , Immaculate low mileage 2002 46,000K X-Type ...........................................
By the time i welded the Old Girl (Sills) and a fresh MOT i made about £200.00
But His reaction when i Personally delivered that Jaguar?
Fuckin Priceless....................................................................👍👍👍👍
Ive still got the Video when that Man collected the keys from me
@@TheoriginalbigbrilloAs the song goes “Your unbelievable”
So I was describing this channel to my dad the other day and he replied 'so hes basically doing what top gear should have never stopped doing, reviewing cars people might actually buy' ... And I had a bit of an epiphany and realised... 'Yea thats exactly what hes doing review wise... As well as MASSIVELY overspending' 😅
Haha thank you. Yes that what I try to do
You're absolutely right.... I said exactly the sme thing a couple years ago. Matt is our saviour!! lol
Woah. Now I understand my addiction to this channel
Matt, I’ve just discovered your videos in the last few weeks. Can honestly say it would be a pleasure to buy a car from someone who appears to care for the car and its future owner. Loved your Seat Leon FR for £3k video and have watched dozens since! 😎
Thank you! Very kind
You have done another great job matt 👏 keep em coming matt and hope you have a very prosperous 2024 👍
Could not argue with your comments, can’t always get a look because of illness but well worth a watch 👍👍👍 GT
I had a 2.2 (i think it was) manual diesel. Love it. Was like driving a sofa. The other half managed to dent EVERY bit of it. Even the roof (she was transporting a microwave, didn’t unlock the car or open the boot before and 'placed it at pace' (dropped it) on the roof). Loved having it.
Of course everyone puts a microwave on the roof! I hate it when other people put any object on my car and they think it's ok.....
i had a 2.0 ltr manual very comfy lots of poke loved it to bits.
2.1 V6 Soft arse............................................................
With the sofa bit you are a bit exaggerating, yes, the drive is nice, but it's way more sporty type of suspension than plush, also, the seats aren't sofa like, atleast mine aren't, maybe they weren't sat in that much XD
Matt, don’t worry about Marshall tyres.Friend of mine had a heavy recovery business, and he loved Marshall’s, they were very strong hard sidewall tyres which never failed, if u see all the tyres that do fail on a truck, well he never had any bother and made a point of getting some in stock whenever he could.
That is one very nice looking Jaguar now, well done Matt, you’ve rescued another future classic.
Great content as always, happy New Year ❤.
Thanks 👍 happy new year. All the best
My late father-in-law owned two of them and they were great cars, you did a good job on that one and it's not over priced. Keep up the good work Matt.
I'm on my second X-Type estate.. 2007, 140,000 miles..stunning car. I'm a great believer in the 'Law of Diminishing Returns'.. My neighbour bought a £40+ thousand pound Mercedes Estate.. every time he steps outside to look at it it's worth a few hundred pounds less. My X-Type estate has all the room needed for my boat and horsey stuff, gives me 50mpg, is manual and wonderful for overtaking, same performance as the petrol version. I would drive it to Greece and back tomorrow without a second thought. Superb cream, stitched leather interior, all the electric bells and whistles, brilliant air-con.. stunning metallic paint.. What would I need to spend to replace it with something more modern and every week suffer the pain of seeing the dashboard light up like a Christmas tree telling me of the list of items in need of attention?
I have adjusted my signalling regime to remove the one finger gesture. I feel like a better man. Great video.
Rust at the rear of the sills is a well-known problem, and difficult to spot because there is a plastic "sill" over the top of it. I have actually seen a sill being installed after the rusted one had been cut out and removed. This was at a Jaguar specialist in Newcastle-under-Lyme, now sadly no longer trading. I used to take my XJ6s there, (X350 models).
Hey Matt - I used to have to 2.5v6, and loved it.. J gate gearbox, plenty of torque and a lovely drive.. I had the sports trim.. loved it. Looked up the MOT recently, and rusted out to be written off a few years ago, but loved it. Only had 15 year life span though.. rust got the better of it. Anyway, happy new year to you!
Rust kills them all. Mine died at 15 years also. It bled me dry in maintenance costs over the 10 years I owned it. A piece of scrap, although enjoyable to drive when running right.
Mines 19yrs old on 82500 2.5v6 I can’t bear to get rid of it, but it’s going to have to go….
Fancy new graphics and music for the start! Matt will be buying a farm in the Cotswolds next! 😛
😂😂 maybe one day
Always loved the look of this era of Jags
I have 06 2.2d manual, the car that got me into cars something like 10 years ago. I modded it with some parts from Focus RS, Volvo etc and now it's pushing 300whp, did more than 50k km like that and haven't had a single issue, even the sills aren't rotting away, this car will stay with me till my last days, i love it
looks like the 2.2 se d spec, these were great cars new, i worked at jag when they came out, always said they would be a great buy when older, just watch for the sills on them, you have to look behind the outer sill covers though to check them and underneath too, the 2.0 had issues with the auto box but other than that great cars, if you can find a late sovereign they were loaded to hell with extras on the final run out models, and the sports are good too.
Right about the sills. Loved my 2005 2.0 SE D but was rotten as a pear under the plastic outer covers.
"I DIDN'T massively overspend" T-shirts/hoodies needed..😂
A quid or two cheaper than the overspent shirts.
It continues to impress me how well priced your bodyshop is. Nice save.
Youll never put me off diesels. 😊. Great to drive. Great mpg
Also Diesels are very drivable with so much Torque.
I love the x-type,massively underrated! I had a 3 litre V6 sport. Gorgeous car,drove beautifully (very thirsty though) great video Matt, good luck for 2024 and keep em coming 😀👍🏻
Thanks! All the best
Thanks for the cool video's this year, Matt! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and I wish you a very happy new year. Cheers from Amsterdam!
Thanks, you too!
2.2d is an awesome engine especially with the 6 speed auto like yours. Super reliable cars
The 2.2d is the ford mondeo st engine. Its also in the xf in a tuned form. Done its a 4k car
This engine was fords engine and not used in XF 2.2 ,that was a Peugeot/Citroen 2.2 4 cylinder. Was a lot more pokier than the ford even tho it was in a bigger and heavier RWD.
@bandiflip it's the same core engine. PSA made minor alterations only. E.g changing from chain to belt and abit more power but it is 90% the same engine.
I had a 2004 X Type with the 3 liter petrol (US) and AWD, which I loved. Comfortable, nice to drive, and the engine had a nice exhaust note. Sadly, the ABS went bad after 93,000 miles, and the dealer wanted more than the car was worth to fix it.
That car got me hooked on Jags / JLR: I traded it in for a 2015 XF. Which I later swapped for an XE, followed by a Discovery Sport, and now a Defender.
No wonder auto trader said it was over priced, thats wayyy too much for it! 😵💫
Thanks for some really enjoyable content this year. Have a happy and prosperous 2024, Matt and keep it coming!
Thanks, you too!
Lovely car but not ULEZ compliant in the London area. Kahn fleecing motorists down here, enjoy these old motors while you can and thanks for the upload.
That's a really nice Jag , very clean for its age and with its makeover it looks almost mint . Even if you don't get the full asking price there is still a profit in it , good luck Matt 👍
Hi Matt, I have had a few of these X Types and have found the 2.1ltr petrol FWD model to be the most practical. And I still believe that this car would have been even more practical with a 2ltr four cylinder engine. And then perhaps even a turbo model just for the lead foot who needs to go faster than practical. The V6 only uses more petrol than necessary.
Matt, I love the x type but as you say, the sills kill them off, this is normally caused by a foam sound deadening sponge behind the wheel arch liners in the front wings at the bottom of the drain hole. these hold the water in and the mud resulting in rotten sills, there was a vid on RUclips about it, the amount of mud and water that came out when they poked it with a coat hanger wire was unbelievable! might be worth checking any x type you have or future purchase for this.
Indeed, that is my main worry with this car... It's a lovely car though 👍🏻
@@GregoryTKint when you get time, jack up the front of the car undo the screws holding the rear bottom of the liner and you will see a foam sponge in a plastic wrapper. remove that and poke a welding rod or coat hanger and watch the amount of mud and water that comes out! a blocked drain hole is a sure fire way of wet carpets and rusty sills!
Same thing happens to the original Volvo XC60! The front wings rot out from inside. I often tell people to get rid of the foam blocks.
A part of me wishes diesels were more of a thing outside of work trucks here in the US because of how much more fuel efficient they are, but it’s a double edged sword given the increased maintenance costs
I drive a Mercedes R Class, with the 3.5 diesel engine. 33mpg on the highway, for a large 7 seater. And Mercedes has been building diesels for ever.
Great channel Matt, it seems one of the more 'authentic' and honest and still is really entertaining.
Matt, lovely car . Well done. New owner will enjoy wafting about the place.£3500 is a bargain
Damn it. Was just about to go bed and then saw you've done another Jag video. Thanks Mat, thanks a lot. More Jags please!
Just started watching. I've got "Massively over spent" "Sills" "Double wishbone" and "Some car in it's day" on my bingo card
Incidentally, facelift 2.2d automatic.... that's the same spec as one I got 6 points in.
Don’t forget “it’s a lot of car for the money”
A fair price for that car. I prefer that black interior ("it doesn't show the muck"), it goes well with the exterior colour.
I remember considering a X Type as a company car, they looked really stylish when they were first launched. I went for the Mondeo ST24 instead swayed by ‘a 24 valve V6’ 😃 You could add £500 to that by photographing it in a gravel driveway in front of a nice house and pitching it as a ‘classic’. It’s a great value car for the next owner with all that remedial work invested in already👍
I just snorted my drink out of my nose with the 'older people with plenty of time on their hands, and an ebay account' line. 😂
Love your channel Matt. Great work
Glad you enjoy it!
I am in the USA but like your videos. You sometimes show the money losing bangers, not just the good profit ones, are more realistic, with humour vs. too many car trading story sites.
These post facelift in good condition looks great for a fwd car. Nice rims. Good colour. I wish all car dealers did this to their stock. Kudos to Matt. Awesome!
Easily the best channel on RUclips. Fantastic content Matt keep it coming mate 👍
Wow, thanks
That's a really nice example. I've always liked the X-Type, although the sills periodically need thorough cleaning and checking for rust.
I have owned three of these from new all 2.0 diesels, first was a 2004 estate, then there was a 2006 saloon and finally a 2009 facelift model in SE trim which was gorgeous. Was sad to part with it in 2014 and it was the longest I had ever owned a car. It is the only model still on the road. Watch out for rot in the sills, they are notorious for it.
Hope you and the family had a great Christmas Matt, and some well deserved time off! Great video as always.
I’m officially an old man. This referb warms my heart. Love it!
I love how you have resisted the urge to get your strimmer out. Nice bit of rewilding. I'm not joking either. Nature lifts the soul
Not the same 2.2 diesel engine as the Evoque and Freelander - it's a 2.2 TDCi Ford engine, basically the same type as the earlier 2.0 and as that fitted to the contemporary Transit etc. The Evoque/Freelander unit was the PSA-derived DW12, confusingly also used in some Ford product.
I had a 2.0D X-Type that I bought off my old man. As others have said its a massively underrated car. The S-Type is underrated as well
Wow did you get someone to redo the title music.. Last one had a certain cha cha to it. 😁
As for the Jag, I preferred the late face-lift which a little less chrome just like this one. As always great vids👍
Enjoy watching High Peak Autos living locally I look out for local landmarks whilst he’s out on a test drive.
I so enjoy Matt’s videos, perfect balance of facts and humour where appropriate (“ooh, National Trust badge, Classic FM”!) Clearly knows his stuff, I’d buy from him, great stuff!
I really want a Jag cheap and that 2.2 is pretty good engine same one used in the smax and Mondeo were pretty reliable in those. Also used in the Citroen C6 aswell.
Loved my X type, great comfortable drive, very fast for a diesel, loads of people call them Fords, but wait until you need suspension parts, all unique which probably explains the ride quality. Felt they were great VFM personally.
Outer sill always looks ok because there plastic covers had the estate version and to be honest pound for pound was a brilliant car
Keep the videos coming Matt 👍
My Dad had the 3.0 brand new when I had a 924 Carrera GT, he dropped me off at the garage to pick it up after a repair, i couldn't catch him on the way home and it sat so well on the road , the X type is an absolute gem
I had a 57 plate 2.0D, bought at 2 years old with 52,000 miles for £7K. Ran it for 5 years and over 53,000 miles, sold it for £2K with a total mileage of 105,000 miles.
Although based on the mondeo platform, a lot of the mondeo parts dont fit properly as Jaguar did change the floorpan. Control arms are an example, Ford ones are different to the Jaguar ones.
Hi matt, great job on the jag, looks great, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland
Love these jag reviews I've got an X type same year bought it as an Inbetweener and still got it almost 3 years later I'll look after it as long as it looks after me,also got an xf mind and your favourite phrase massively overspent comes to mind.
Well done Matthew, like you I to am a fan of the Jaguar X Type. We did infact used to buy a new one every 2 years for our estates manager, and he absolutely loved them. Yes the X Type was a brilliant car in its day!!!
Love these old X Types. Only thing that really bugs me about them is not being able to see where you are going due to the p1ss poor headlights.
Hi Matt. Have you ever considered offering overseas clients an opportunity to import vehicles from you to their home country? Obviously all countries have various regulations and restrictions which would need to be thoroughly understood, and the logistics to make it happen may be challenging, but it may well be a viable string to your bow. As an example, I would be interested in engaging you to act on my behalf. Say - 4 or 5 collectable type cars with basic spare parts packages for each, packed in a shipping container and sea freighted to the east coast of Australia. It may also be interesting content for your channel.
I've owned a couple of x type jags one with the v6 petrol and the other was the 2.2d
Great cars in my opinion if you can find one that's been looked after and doesn't have the dreaded rot
And also an honourable mention to the s types too
I like the new intro. It looks like it's been given a good buff.
You can transfer that National Trust sticker to the giverny L322. It'll look real smart next to that tartan blanket.
So pleased you saved another X-Type. It looked fantastic in the end. I know they were never the coolest of cars but I’ve always loved them and a little sad I never got to own one. One cautionary word though Matt, if you ever review another car from this marque and DON’T refer to it as Jag- whah then I’m unsubscribing 😂 It always makes me smile when I hear you say that.
Happy Christmas! 🎄
Great car. Hope you had a lovely Christmas.
No I don't like 1 finger waves, it always like they're really wanting to turn their 1 finger round.
Happy New Year Matt
Mark x
I only come here for some 20 plus minutes' of calming down... well done! OH, BTW... I've had a 2.5V6 / 2005 plate x-type estate, for 15 years'... an amazing car!
IIRC the reason you found a Ford switch is because under the skin it's a Mondeo.
2.2 has a timing belt, the chain that it mentions, is a small chain that just goes round the 2 camshafts to keep the timing, the timing belt only goes round 1 camshaft.
Slowly becoming my favourite channel on RUclips , perfect pooing viewing.
How to get max trade in price with mat.. matching tyres, clean matching plates, national trust sticker, throw in a worthers original in the centre console and set the radio to classic fm
Every time Matt mentions his wheel refurb costs I sob. Where I am you can double that cost as a minimum. Almost worth while during 200 miles to get it done where he is
Thanks, looks good and will hopefully have many miles of life in it.
Never owned or driven one, but it was never a Mondeo.
So many cars I still want to own, and this is on the list.
Good to see the channel growing just like the plants in the car park 👍
Another brilliant video . Love his presentation style and dry humour
Bosch wipers. One finger waves are an acknowledgment of a courteous action but still retaining full control of the steering wheel.
Replaces tyres with "Westlake Zuper Ecos"
Pot's calling the kettle black there Matt ;)
Hahaha one finger wave… 😂 that annoys me but at least it’s an acknowledgement. I always do the usual palm. Great video as always and another X Type saved.
Always threatening to get the "strimmer out" or "get the gardeners in". Never remembers 😉
Love all your videos mate. Spot on.
I'd also definitely buy a car from you, very genuine, which is a rarity.
Brilliant episode
Thank you
Hi Matt, great content as always. I am an expat living in Canada, so as I used to travel lots in the states, I had to work out Fs to Cs a lot. Basic rule of thumb, Cs...double it, add 30. Fs knock off 30, then halve it. Close to a couple of degrees. Hope that helps.😁
Fab mate another great video well done
Glad to hear new intro music
Lovely car, if I'd got the money I would buy it off you, love jaguar x type, had a few over the years,had to get rid of my last one about 2 year's ago, great video,as always, keep up the good work, cheers, Dave
Lol I have the 2008 and your experiencing the Phantom Jag knock ..
One of the best things about the X-type you can do a lot of the work on the driveway , if you enjoy that type of thing
I can't be the only one who watches Matt's every vid who wonders how the word profit' is defined for the purpose of his business. What is it costing in overheads, salaries, leccy, business rates, Autotrader fees etc per sale when spread out over say a year's sales?
Finally, 4K resolution, proud of you Matt,😂 keep them coming, amazing production and quality content as always!
I am absolutely loving the new intro matt, keep up the amazing work 👏
Thanks! Will do!
Just started subscribing, very, very entertaining with just the right amount of humour, well done Matt, keep it up.
Awesome, thank you!
“With no top gear how am I meant to get my car fix” my mate said. Well I sent him here now I can’t even have a chat with him because he’s glued to this channel. 😂
I always learn a new brand of tyre with every video.
Haha so do I
Had one for years doing a fine job.
New music will take some getting used to , but another jaaaaag saved to fight another day , well done Sir
My Dad had a 2.1 petrol 2001 auto X type in that gold colour…I gt insured for it,1st auto I ever drove…loved that car…he upgraded the alloys to the ones on this car.
Thought I was Arthur Daley driving that car,thought I was the bomb.
Was heavy on fuel tho.
Anyway Happy New Year Matt…keep doin wot ur doin & this time next year you’ll be a millionaire my son.
Absolutely love this channel & wot u do…Ur knowledge & geekiness about cars is fantastic…you’re actually quite like me in this way…Also love you’re sense of humour.
We also share the same taste in cars,range rovers,jags n that.
Wish u all the best & lots of luck for 2024
Cheers

I had a 58 plate one with the 2.2 litre diesel in sports model with black quilted leather seats etc ! As much as a liked the car I had constant issues with it going into limp home mode, I had the re generating thing done etc ! Terra clean or whatever it was known as but still same issue kept occurring, so I sold it after only 12 months and bought a honda civic type r g.t. on a 2010 plate, kept that 4 years and it never missed a beat and never let me down
Another blinder - seasonal greetings and all the best for 2024. Looking forward to another year of pure class 👏 Keep on BUFFING
Lovely motor for somebody. Somebody possible elderly with a bag of Werther’s originals looking for a glovebox. Never really liked the x type but the vid reminded me of the same era XJ which I do love 👍
Always thought the estate looked great.
It didn’t compete perfectly with the 320d, A4 or C220 in Portugal because for most potential clients in their mind it would be more difficult to do maintenance on the Jag.
Great video HPA, great little car, perfect for a quick turn around, well done Matt👌👍😀
Looks a nice old girl.
Easiest way from Centigrade to Fahrenheit: Double the C value, add 30, subtract 2, so:
10deg C x 2=20 +30=50-2=48 deg F
