X-TYPE

  • 112,000 miles
Plastic adjusters on headlights break when they become brittle leaving the lights aiming at the ground. Headlight bulbs constantly burn out. Amber light with "cruise control not available" has the affect of limiting the RPM to about 2800rpm, past this the engine quits and starts again under 2800rpm. Hold the accelerator down and the engine bucks on and off. This is dangerous as you cannot accelerate when you need to.
