Thanks jim

hi all the car is a x300 4.0 , I’m trying to source some rear springs, uk parts centres can’t seem to get any , it’s been months . Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Jim its the father in laws car, so from what I can gather he was out for the day when it wouldn’t start so he charged the battery. Since then the electrics have played up ,satnav,radio,a/c,. I’m having a look at it today. Thanks for the reply

Hi all , quick question 2011 xf is the car.tried to start it but it was dead, so took the battery of and chargers it up. I don’t think the battery was dead , but put a charge in it. The car fired right up, but the sat nav and radio didn’t work for a while . The dash kept putting messages up. So is this just because the battery was taken off?, or is there an electrical fault? Thanks

Hi all ive just had the car mot’ed, and had an advisory on the seatbelt plastic covers around the bit you clip into, are broken and some are missing. Where would I get some replacements from? thecar is a 1994 x300. also I bought a replacement key fob( after market).how or where can I get it synced to the car? many thanks!

Got the new fob back,it looks good but it still needs sincronizing to the alarm £70 +vat. gone in for the seats and roof .neally done the list!! had a run to the lakes and back,car drove nice no problems.everything works!

Hi all,sent the fobs off to a place in Stoke to have them reconditioned,there's a few that seem to do it for most cars. if they can't fix them there's no charge,so it's worth a go. ill post results if anyone's interested.

Just spent all day clay baring the car,it's come up nice. so a thought I'd give. It a run. 15 mins in the volts drop and the battery light came on! Just made it back ,it konked out on the drive!!lucky that. might be the alternator,as it's a new battery!! b*****d! Haha

Thanks peter ill try them for the mirrors. ive just had a little ride out anti lock light is on and ,the cruise control doesn't seem to work either ! Could just be a fuse. im going to give Wigan jag man a ring on Monday to get it plugged in to the computer and get to the bottom of any gremlins!.its been stood for a while ,but I'm sure most things worked last time it was driven!hopefully it's an easy fix. nice car of yours that!!

Hi got the car mot'd. two new front shockers,brake caliber and a few other minor things. next is the interior which is booked in next week. a question to anyone out there,both alarm fobs are broken,so key only.ive been told they can't be fixed but some ford ones will do the job.does anyone know if this is correct?or if I can get jaguar ones made up? also the mirror knob on the drivers side control panel has snapped off.where can I get a matching replacement? thants it for now till next payday! cheers

Thanks ste,I'll know more by next week.and no doubt be after some bits and pieces.!!

Cheers Pete,it's a xj6 by the way,I'll try and sent some pics of problems. as you can see the interior has got a bit tatty! not sure why ? Maybe the glue has perished! wheel need sorting too.

Got the MOT back.not to bad. blowing exhaust from front front brake calliper seized, brakes weak. bulb out. washer bottle not working. bushes need doing but not a fail. project on!!

Hi all, lve just started a bit of a project. Xj6 4.0 sovereign 1994. It's been stood for a few years but moved around a bit.its going for an MOT this week to see what it needs to get it on the road.ive had a look around it and what I've seen so far is this. INTERIOR-backs of the front seats have come away ( the plastic bits), the headlining has sagged,radio doesn't work,air con needs gassing up,mirror movement knob has broke off. BODYWORK-isn't to bad a few little marks,wheels are all oxidised. ENGINE AND RUNNING GEAR- no oil leaks starts first time with key.blowing from front of exhaust,there's some bushes clunking front and back,maybe sub frame. the car has done 52000 miles with two owners.i know there only worth a few grand at most.seems a shame to put it on the scrap pile. any opinions on weather it's worth saving!? cheers
