This is a really common issue. You basically have to manhandle it off. Maybe a little leverage from underneath. It is too tight a fit for sure but when you have removed it once, you will understand what force is required - Phil from England

I own an X-Type 2.0 diesel. When I start it up, the engine doesn’t so much burst into action as stutters. Also when driving at 60mph approx, I sometimes feel a little ’kick’ every now and then. Is this an injector and are these one and the same problem? Also I’m getting a strange ’whirring’ noise from the PAS, what is this and how do I get it fixed? (Diesel)

Has the Jaguar X-Type Classic got an outside temperature gauge? My car has 2 LCD screens, the top one is for the climate control. I can see the temperature through the LCD but it is not on. Also, is the temperature gauge under the bumber? If so, I have come across this. I have asked the garage to fix this. They are saying that it is not on the car as standard - funny when everything else is there on the car. Can somebody help? Thank you. (Classic diesel)
