Jaguar X-Type: 18,000 X-Types recalled in the UK

Jaguar X-Type Recall - almost 18k affected over possible cruise control malfunction The Jaguar X-Type, ‘Ford’ Jaguar’s stab at mopping up sales from BMW’s 3 Series and Mercedes’ C Class, is back in the headlines, with Jaguar issuing a recall for 18,000 X-Types in the UK – around 5 per cent of the total X-Type production. The cars affected are diesel-engined X-Type models made between 2006 and the end of X-Type production in late 2009, and the recall concerns the cruise control, which may not respond under certain circumstances. To be fair to Jaguar, the issue with the cruise control failing to respond has not come to light through any complaints from owners, but from an employee of Jaguar.

Jaguar Land Rover celebrate James Bond SKYFALL & 50 years of Bond films (video)

Jaguar Land Rover are celebrtaing 50 years of Bond films – and the new James Bond film SKYFALL – at this year’s Paris Motor Show.

We may think of Aston Martin when we think of Bond, but Jaguar has made sure they’ve got plenty of screen time in SKYFALL.

Ferrari FF: Snow Flow

Ferrari FF in the Snow We heard the whispers, and they all pointed the same way – a Shooting Brake Ferrari at Geneva, probably to replace the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. Although one source pointed to what we now know as the Ferrari FF as a swansong for the 612, not a new model. But a new model the Ferrari FF is, and Ferrari will be taking it along to Geneva in a few weeks.
