The Estate looks SO much better than the sedan.
You're looking at it the wrong way round Matt. For less than £5000, you now have a gorgeous X-Type in a lovely colour combo, with fully sorted mechanicals. You also have full jaguar service history, and a modern classic that will climb in value over time. It's a bit like a fine wine. You might have to lay it down for a while, but it will travel really nicely. It was a good decision in my book. Well worth saving.
as someone who's first car was an 04 x-type 2L diesel manual 5 speed, that's a whole 2 weeks of care free motoring!
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊
well yeah but x type is just not good
@@SoulTouchMusic93was that more to do with it being your first car and not knowing much about how to look after it rather than the car itself.
Tinted the rear windows for the sake of the 🐕 to keep it a bit cooler in summer
Thought so
I like this guy. He is a one man top gear show, without all the racist comments or thug behaviour. Good chap.
Thanks
The best video's are the ones where you haven't seen the car yet. And take us on a first discovery around it and the service history. At least in my opinion! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
@@HighPeakAutosl agree. Wasn't that keen on your hyundai shortage review. You need to guard your independence.
Agreed!

I bought one of these with 56k on it for £700. I had it for a year, loved it and wished I never sold it. Fabulous car!
Matt...😮 What a guy😂❤
Yup, I’ve been sucked in again, straight onto autotrader looking for an x-type estate. Matt you have a lot to answer for !!🤣🤣
I did as well, it's up there. One of the few 3.0l
I drive X-Type estate since 2011 till now, Matt. And I like it so much. How it drives, the optimal visibility, the space inside and practicality. Besides above pointed arguments, it's a beautiful vehicle.
i have owned 7 jaguars to date , love them
Cheap parts is well
jaguar isn't used in my country what brand can you compare it to when it comes to maintenance and price? I really like them
@@triptychluxVolvo maybe? Both were owned by ford at the time this X-Type was designed so they share a lot of parts and maintenance is comparable.
Still a good looking car and even at £5000 I think it it’s money well spent ! Always preferred the look of the estate over the saloon and after all the work you had done it will serve its next owner well….I suppose one benefit of the masoooof overspend is the new owner gets masoooof boot space 😁
Sooo true
Worth at most 600 quid, rot buckets
@@georgebarnes8163not if you look after them properly.
Nah. Dog stink. Nasty. You can never get rid of it. That’s only of two main questions: dogs and smoking (filthy disgusting habits). I pass on both every time.
One of the prettiest wagons made. Really classy, yet powerful and strong-looking. It is not overdone, or too boring. It strikes the perfect balance and for a car that old, it still looks really crisp and modern
Matt never lose your enthusiasm & happiness about a car no matter how old, you are luckier than most that you are exposed to beautiful and not so beautiful cars, due to your work, enjoy what comes your way and if you have to spend think how much you are making a great car for the next owner. Really enjoy your videos and how boring if would be if you didn't overspend now and again. Thankyou
I quote “It’s really tested my patience this, and my chèque book” said Matt sitting in a 17 year old, gold estate made famous by a very old woman similar to what Matt is becoming.Where did it go so wrong. In fairness I had a 2.2D x type sport saloon and loved it.
When you have a passion it isn't an overspend ,it is bringing joy to the soul .
Love the "I’ve massively overspent" phase😂 keep up the videos man😊
At 71, I'm the correct age profile for this car and if I had dogs, a Barber jacket & tweed cap, Hunter boots and delusions about being in the Cheshire County set I would defo be in for this Baby👍👍
But luckily, as I don't have any of the aforementioned articles I will leave it for someone else.
Nice work though and I LOVE that V6 engine👍👍
This is one of my favourite 'I have massively overspent' side look to camera vids. A masterpiece of a car. You could park this in the national gallery and it wouldn't look out place. They say head over heart but sometimes. just sometimes, a heart over head is what makes us who we are. And that is why I love this channel.
Unpopular opinion (probably), but I think the X-Type is better looking than the S-Type, with its large oval shaped grille that looks out of place on that front end. I get that Jaguar was trying to modernise their old-school design, or keep up with the retro trend of the late 90's and early 2000's, but they messed it up on the S-Type.
i do agree with you mate
Disagree, the S-type looks better
Totally agree. The x type looks like a modern classic that’s aged really well. The S type is a car that looks like it’s been designed by committee, half of whom are stuck in the past (the grille) & the other half that wanted to compete with the German executive cars of the day. Some heritage grilles transitioned well like BMW’s & Alfa Romeo’s, Jag’s really didn’t.
Not grey mate PLEASE, or black or white or bloody silver! There are far too many faceless cars on the road in those colours today so good to see you purchase a car with character!
As a person who generally lives 20 years in the past, I think it’s a beauty. Well done Matt 👍
I love a man who is not afraid to self deprecate 😁
I think if you raffled that car you would more than make your money back. You have done a brilliant job with that. Well done
You know that the intro was filmed a good while back if he was in the broken Westminster and he was speaking about the 300k volvo
That’s right
I had an x-type estate. The jaguar engineers really sorted the suspension on this car, one of the surest, smoothest cars I have ever had.
I owned three X Types all bought new over an eight year period of my life. Lovely cars with a classy interior especially the SE and Sovereign models. Unfortunately this model was incredibly rust prone particularly in the sills and because of the plastic sill covers very poor examples can still look cosmetically good. Numbers on the road are rapidly diminishing as they fail their MOT over structural issues. Glad you saved it, another owner would have run it into the ground and then scrapped it which would have been a travesty.
Mine bleed my dry over 10 years and the rusty sill (despite being fixed one already) spelled the end. The headlights were also a pain.
I love these cars so it's worth every penny. Sovereign was such a good spec.
Great video.
Nothing sad about an X-Type, I actually prefer them to the modern, souless Jags :)
Which one is soulless? XF (X250, LCI) is gorgeous and considered to be one of the most beautiful Jaguars ever. The modern XJ is uniquely mesmerizing. So where is the soullessness?
I was convinced that by the way you so enthusiastically talked about this car at the start, you would do the necessary repairs & keep it for yourself.
How wrong I was........I guess you had too much money tied up in the repairs & needed to recoup some of your losses!
Nevertheless, this Jaguar X type AWD estate now looks stunning, & quite rare too. If I was living in the UK, I would seriously consider this car as my daily driver ...... a great colour, luxurious & practical.
Keep up the great work! 👍👍
I had that engine in my XF. Solid as a rock. That is a very nice example too.
The editing and photography have gone to the next level. Looking so much more professional suddenly 👍👍
Loved my 2.0d SE X-Type estate, still a great looking car now. Replaced with a 3.0D XF-S Sportbrake, which is fantastic. There is just something about how they look and drive that you can't get elsewhere.
I enjoyed driving our X type, 2.2 Diesel manual in blue with beige leather, sadly those plastic sill covers hid a lot and eventually it met its fate due to needing inner and outer sills.
The moment this video started I thought here we go he's going to spend a shed load of money on this not as good as it seems Jag but I'm pleased you did what a great car it is now well done that man
If the back windows were tinted, it might look like a van!
Possibly one of your best buys in recent memory despite the repairs. Great spec and cool car. Rare and everyone cares.. so should sell easily when/if it comes to that! Love your channel mate. My guilty pleasure.
You've just cheered up my Friday night Matt,great video and great car, thanks.
Love the way your genuine glee comes across when discovering your new purchase features. Lovely car, and superb video.
what a nice car. it looks even better after all the work done. I am 36 years old and never drove a Jag, but I always loved this Model!!
This is one beautiful car, it can instantly be recognised as a very prestige vehicle.
Overspending is a given lol, that said, you have made this car an exceptional example, well done Matt.
Very enjoyable video Matt. Your drive and enthusiasm are a pleasure to watch.
The shot of it from the front parked up on the roadside with the sunshine and backdrop of rolling green hills complementing the bonnet curves and creases is epic. Super nice example
I really like the look of the x type. Nothing wrong with a mondeo and the jaaaaagness of the changes to the underpinnings lift it. Thats a really nice looking example. Nice one for keeping it on the road even if it was an eyewateringly expensive task.
Hi Matt, I had the first sovereign estate delivered out Jaguar Cardiff in 2004, I’ve always regretted selling it, very similar to this except the exterior was Silver, but the interior was identical, I went a bit mad on the spec and added nearly £12k’s worth of extras, I know people knock them but I did 65k in it in 20 months and it never let me down and I always felt special every time I drove it, since then, I’ve had XF’s and an F-Type, but I have a real soft spot for it as it was my first Jag. If I had the space I would bite your hand off, but I’m looking for a CLK convertible, another car we wish we didn’t sell. You have done an amazing job, someone will snap it up I’m sure. It’s definitely a car worth saving.. thank you, as you created one of nicest x-types still on the road. Let me know if come across a CLK though … lol
Well done Matt. You’re awesome. Keep up the honest and good work.
So another great instalment of Friday Night with High Peak Matt......but what I am most impressed with is thst you have got rid of those awful weeks thst were growing against the wall. Well done that man. Thank you
I know how you feel Matt, I have an 05 XJ Sovereign 3.0 V6 and I have spent over 5k on it getting back up together. I feel it is worth it because as you say, these engines go on for forever if you look after them. Gearbox oil has been done too and as I have 76k miles on it with Jaguar FSH it is worth it., Ok I wont get my money back if I sold it tomorrow but I have no intention of selling it. It is a Beautiful car in black with ivory interior and I love it
Hi Matt great car plus a good video . Thought it was to good a bargain for that price. I always wonder if the garage said anything to the customer about any of the faults that you found
Another brilliant video. Looking forward to your next adventure… we own a 2011 Defender and appreciate your drive to keep some of the old classics alive.
I have a black XType estate in 2.0d guise on an 06 plate. Never let me down, cheap enough for parts and it fairly simple to work on. I think they've aged awesomely, super comfortable and a joy to drive! This 3.0 V6 is simply beautiful.
I used to have an x-type 3.0 V6 and was one of the best cars I ever owned.. unfortunately it did rust away underneath and I had to get rid.. aside from that it was totally perfect. At the same time my brother had a 330i and had no end of issues with it. If I still lived in the uk I'd love to buy it from you
I liked my X-Type estate, only a two litre diesel though. Rust killed it eventually when the sills went for the second time.
I wish Jaguar had done an estate version of the XE.
Had the same motor, no rusty sills in my ownership which was seven years, it was four years old when I brought it.
Well done Matt!!!
Good job as always!!
You always do the right thing, hope it sells soon - it deserves too!!
I purchased a Jaguar X-Type 2.0d from Copart and need to repair the air conditioning compressor. I drove it from Manchester to Maidenhead, and it drives beautifully. I achieved 53.7 mpg on the trip, and I am considering keeping the car.
Back in 2001 when these first came out I decided it was the car for me. I test drove a 2.5v6 manual but it had horrific driveline shunt due to the 4wd and manual box. A few months later I bought a 4 month old ex demo 2.1 V6 auto. It was ok but went wrong so many times I traded it for a new Passat after 3 weeks. It’s put me off Jaguar for life! Although I still want a Jaaaag…..
My first Jag was a 2004 3 litre V6 AWD manual X-Type saloon. Loved that car but the DMF disintegrated one day. Replaced under warranty, thankfully. After that I had it for a couple of years hassle free driving. I traded it in at 90k miles against a Jaguar S-Type, which was a definite step up in luxury.
Don't be put off by a poor experience with an older Jaguar at the bottom budget. I am currently on Jaguar number 6 (a 2016 XF S V6 Supercharged in BRG) and loving it.
Beautiful car for £5k. Well done Matt. Future Jag collectors item ?!
Great reading thank you, I have alot going on at work at the moment, big changes , so your reading has made me feel OK with it x
All's you need now, is a pair of white gloves, a head scalf, and a couple of corgis. Lovely car for the price.
The 3.0V6 in these is almost the same as the Mondeo ST220 engine but not quite.
These have variable valve lift, timing and inlet tract length and so get another 10-20bhp.
I think the pistons & cams are different too.
(I used to know the exact details of the differences back in the day)
was it a 16 valve?
They did a 3.0 v6 Non St Mondeo with this same engine I believe.
@@LA63003 It was the 2.5 v6 for the non St version taken from the MK2 ST end of line and put into the MK3. I had one for a year and found it to be a great car with plenty of poke. The ST220 is the only Ford with the Durtek v6 3.0 Cosworth designed the heads. A bit of useless info for ya 👍
@@front242724
@@front2427
No.
Both the Ford & the Jag units were/are 24v.
Well that color suits the car really nicely.
these outside shots in the car park are a very nice addition, great idea
My brother bought this spec in sport spec and in manual and I sent this to him straight away. Great video!!!!
I owned the same spec estate but made a mistake with the engine size.
It was the 2.5 which drank the same as the 3.0 but was down on tourqe and it
always felt lacking in power.
It rattled and creaked from day one and i spent many days curing them.
The later facelifted samples were far better, but petrol versions are almost
impossible to find.
The X-Type was criticised for offering a taste of Jaguar but was spoiled by too
many ford parts, this i think was cruel but fairly accurate.
I sold mine at a massive loss, the lemon car stigma had hit values hard and no one
wanted them.
Good luck with selling this one.
Seeing you upload this video gave me a little chuckle as my best mate two days ago has just brought an x type from the same year and for around the same price
Amazing outcome 👍👍 Whoever buys that will have the best sorted Jag in the UK. Nice work.
I love these videos.... Always fancied buying one of these.... Thank you Matt...👍
I love my 2.0D X, I've had XJ's previously and wouldn't swap what I have now, the X feels great to drive and I went for the diesel purely because of the cheap road tax and 50mpg fuel economy, I think the look and feel of these cars has stood the test of time and they have very sexy curves in all the right places, its each to their own as I prefer the saloon visually which is opposite of lots of people but I think both look fantastic, just look at the BMW's or Merc's from the same era and they look dated now in my humble opinion, well done for saving another future classic
I am in my late thirties, and have loved the Jaguar brand since I can remember. Nothing wrong with loving any car or brand, whatever age you might be. My first Jag, was a 2006 XJ Executive 2.7 TDVi, I loved it; my current Jag is a 2001 X100 XKR Coupè 4 litre, which I also love. I say well done for saving a modern classic!!! My daily is a 2005 55 plate Mitsubishi Colt 1 litre, lol. Great video and great work!!!
Matt I had a 2.0 ltr estate for about 7 yrs and I loved it, as you have said rotted sills made me say good buy. I think they were so underrated and the estate looks beautiful. Well done on the purchase.
I had a 2.2d estate for 8 years and 120000 miles. I rate that as one of my best ever cars. Did everything a family needed.
Keep up the good work Matt. Great videos. Nice to save these cars
Well done Matt, thanks for saving a beautiful car! I remember my parents first “luxury car” was a 2.5 AWL 2001 xtype in gold, actually the first ever car I drove around the estate. Drove my passion for jags and ended up buying an XKR!
Restored a modern classic. The baby Jag of its time is so far removed from the Mondeo it's based on (I think Ford missed a market not offering a AWD Mondeo). Somebody getting a rare motor that will cruise the motorway and carry 4 adults and their luggage with ease. Well done on the restoration Matt🎉
That'll be me :)
Another brilliant video.
A well done job on the Jag once again Matt 👏
That yellow barrier closing around 1:17 nearly gave me a heart attack! I thought the Rangey was going to get hit.
Matt I used to own a Jaguar x type estate, 2.2d sport premium at the age of 22. Bloody loved it but it eventually weighed more in rust than actual jag. Keep up the good work
Owned a 2.2 Prestige Sport. Stunning car. Great engine. You did well picking up such a rare model.
Made me smile to hear you getting excited about the Jag'.
Looks like a nice car.
Thank you for calling it an '06 car instead of 'P reg' etc.
Your international viewers immediately understand what year the car is.
Great Work Matt! You done a great job on that. I love The Benson & Hedges Gold. I actually saw one these yesterday parked up in my local Netto Supermarket in Black with local AC plates 🇩🇪. Indeed they are rare in estate format. Thanks for posting.
Wheels are 18 inch Arubas,standard on the Sovereign, that's what I had on mine
Well done. These look better now than they used to. Best drivetrain too.
Another awesome video 🙂 Have a nice weekend, Matt 🥰🥰
Another top video Matt. Lovely car.
My son had one a few years back and I have to say it was a cracking car. Had it two years and came from goole to Manchester and back every weekend and used for work to. Services and discs pads and mot fees never skipped a beat or failed an mot...
Really enjoying I brought a cheap series videos it good to see what you get for the money keep these coming Matt :)
Absolutely brilliant job again on a car that most people would scrap or run in to the ground. Beautiful cars that are a time gone by. Fantastic episode
The wood in the car is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for saving it. At the price you are asking for it, it is a steal! I had a 2002 blue and it was a joy to drive.
I so lusted after one of those when they were new but couldn’t afford one. Nice find there Matt. Good on ya for rescuing it.
'Wooden Wheel! God I'm such a loser'😄
Me too Matt - I had one with a wooden wheel, such a beautiful car, and now when I walk past one the first thing I check is its steering wheel. No wood - no further interest!
By the way, very smart approach to sponsorships. It’s actually interesting seeing the car vertical reports
When working for Jaguar in Doha, Qatar had an identical car for a while,drove it from Doha to Petra in Jordan,2000 plus kilomeres across Saudi,car was perfect driving on desert highwats Led Zepplin booming on stereo.
I have a deep love for wagons so this is something I’d love
Matt, you started this project as a car for you. In all honesty if I had been in your shoes I would have done the same. Time went on and you released that it was going to one that you would not make much use of, it’s excellent work the car is now almost as it left a dealers 17 years ago. It’s a lovely car and one that makes a modern practical classic that will go on for year. I’m sure it will appeal to plenty of enthusiasts out there and feather in your cap for saving it. There will be a very happy new owner of that I have no doubt. Brilliant work and love your videos
The anxiety I got watching the barrier closing as you drove into the car park 😳
Thanks for a great video, I'm in the process of buying a 2004 2.5 V6 estate here in Finland. At least now I know what to look for.
oh Matt this is a beauty please keep it. I would love one of these as that colour combo is on my wish list...
I can remember my father fighting losing battles with rust on 60s cars which were only just over 5 years old. I had thought that rust nowadays had been conquered thanks to better quality coated steel and/or galvanising but that appears not to be entirely true. To be fair, more modern cars have had a lot of mud traps designed out of them, and their bodywork does seem to last longer. However, as this Jag proves, with many lower body panels now made of some sort of composite which are bolted on, not only have mud traps been thus reinstated so that the structural sills now rust from the outside in, rather than the other way round as of old, but the rust is hidden. I've seen many videos on RUclips revealing the horrors that go unseen on the X and S type, as well as many others including BMWs. No wonder that you see many of these cars stacked up at recycling yards still looking very presentable. The moral is, look very, very carefully underneath before even considering a car of this ilk.
I've always had a soft spot for the X-Type, a very elegant motor. I love what you do with these fixer-uppers, Matt. Fantastic job with this X-Type. A really classy car. It may have tested your patience, but you definitely passed!
Absolutely love the X-type and especially the estate. This is also my perfect model, Sovereign spec and 3.0 v6. Loved the video and the fact you saved a beautiful car. 😊
Nice one Matt, and congrats on trimming back the Triffid garden!
