If the touch screen on your 2005 Jaguar X-Type is blank and you are receiving codes 50 and 51, it indicates that there is a communication error between the audio control module and the touch screen display. Here are a few things you can check:

1. Wiring and connections: Check the wiring and connections leading to the touch screen display and the audio control module to make sure they are in good condition and properly connected. A loose or damaged wire can prevent the display from working correctly.
2. Audio control module: The audio control module is responsible for sending information to the touch screen display. If the module is malfunctioning or damaged, it can prevent the display from working properly. Check the module for any signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary.
3. Touch screen display: If the display itself is malfunctioning, it may need to be replaced. Check the display for any signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary.
4. Software update: There may be a software update available for the audio control module that can fix the communication issue. Check with a Jaguar dealership to see if there are any updates available for your vehicle.

Ok, time for car school. The vehicle is operated by the computer, every electrical concept that is. When the engine is cold, it starts fine because the computer has placed it in "cold start mode", putting more fuel into the engine than normally would until Once the engine is warmed up, a temperature sending unit or temp sensor tells the computer to change to normal run mode. IF said temp sensor is faulty and is not telling the computer to make said change, it stays in cold start mode, still dumping excess fuel in the engine that is now not required, cause it's warmed up. Like keeping the choke closed on older vehicles. Now I think you can answer your own question, when this no start action is happening after warm up and it always starts fine when cold, what's the first thing you check ? Right, the unsuspected temp sensor. Change that and no more start problem. Have a wonderful day. Glad I could be of service.

You need the dealer to hook up a scanner and do a full diagnostic during this loss of power problem. It is not something you can fix at home.

First, go around the car and tighten all the locking mechanisms. A loose one will report 'door ajar' This would explain 1 and 2. 3 sounds like the ride level sensor under the rear suspension. Have you run over anything interesting lately?

Those model lifters are quite notorious for clogging up with hardened oil as they ran a bit hot... my suggestion would be to service all your lifters or replace them up to you and make sure all clearances are correct at tappets and valves :) Good Luck :)

got a XK8 and a XJ6 but no X type sorry ,but most parts and faults will be the same as a ford mondeo.

a few --check the pulleys one may be seized or on its way --belt stretched over time and slipping on pulleys ---old belt

Broken or loose gear mechanism between stick and gearbox. Or broken gearbox change mechanism. Obviously the former is cheaper to repair...

which brake warning light is on? the xtype does not have pad wear sensors fitted. so i guess you mean the abs light or the handbrake light.more than likely its the abs light and the common problem is the reluctor rings on one or the other of the rear outer constant velocity joints corroded/ fell off get the fault codes out of the abs module to help.

jag X type ,,,expensive big time their is a computer behind the dash ,havent done one as yet myself but its time consuming and if iam not mistaken its the same as a ford mondeo or a ford lincoln as this car is a jaguar in name only .the rear wheel bearing is the same as i tried to buy one for a X type and it was mega money ,so i bought one for a mondeo ,exactly the same made in italy and cost 188euros unlike the jag dealer ,the listing doesnt show in any parts book but my motor factor didnt have a listing either till i insisted on seeing a ford one and on the box was jaguar /ford ,,, hope yours has the leather interior and that horrible cloth one .

ABS module , control pump etc..... your best bet is to take it to the repair shop , don't want to hurt your self !
