Hi All, I recently had to reset my ICT Pro system and ironically thereafter, I lost my ability to connect via my Data SIM. This I have fixed by replacing the SIM Card module under the arm rest in the centre console. However, I have now lost my Live Traffic information in my Sat Nav and I am at a loss as to how to get it back to the extent that I am questioning if I should have had it in the first place?? My XE is the Face List model. Sept 2019, classed as 20MY so the Maps are supplied vis HERE rather than the up to 2018 system where the maps were supplied by naviextras, so there is no SD card. In some places I read that you only get live traffic when you purchase the 1 year or 3 year Subscription where you get an updated map every month, but in other sections I feel it infers you can get live traffic without the MAP Update License\Subscription but you obviously have to have your own Data SIM inserted into your car. I have a valid In control Subscription and a Navigation account, although I do note that me Navigation account has a different password to the password I use for my In Control and LIVE services in my car. If I shouldn't have it without the map subscription.... then how come I had it before I did a system reset. Thanks in advance. Any ideas??

Hi Armando, and welcome Can you clarify a bit? Usually parasitic drain refers to a slow battery drain with the ignition off. However I think you are saying that the battery is unable to start the car unless you charge it for 10 mins. Then when you turn it off it is again unable to start the car. Is that correct? If so, and assuming the engine is not turning over rapidly when trying to start, it sounds like either an alternator fault or a failing battery. I would expect an alternator fault to throw a code which suggests a failing battery. Have you checked voltages and / or tested the battery?

To see the range of suitable tyres for your vehicle, go to the Kwik Fit website and input your registration number. You don't have to buy your tyres from Kwik Fit, but there website is really simple to use and get the information that you need to find the best deal on your choice. Just to remember to double check the size and rating that the website comes up with. N6 JMX

If they're the same/similar to Range Rover struts of a similar era, they can't be stripped as far as i'm aware. However, have a search on ebay/Amazon/etc, chances are you'll find an aftermarket part that is identical in every way except perhaps the manufacturers logo. A friend of mine had exactly the symptoms you describe with his RR and the new aftermarket struts were identical except for the logo. Fixed the problem in a matter of minutes to swap them.

Thanks again, it seems quite easy to change this sensor, but not the other one, apparently it's inside the transmission, don't know if I'm confident enough to change that one 😕, But then it may be an idea to change the fluid as the car has done 51000 🤔

hi fellow Jag owners,new to this forum and to Jaguars. 2001 S Type V6 in USA (California). Gasoline engine. the car has a parasitic drain in the battery. No codes from the OBDII connector. If I charge the battery for 10 minutes the car starts quickly. I let it run to normal operating temperature, turn the engine off. After that, the car will not start. Any ideas as to what causes this? Car has 67,000 miles, in excellent shape. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Just had my car, XJ L Autobiography in the garage as the service indicator keeps coming in and counting down very quickly. The garage have said this is due to abnormal oil dilution due to the DPF regen not performing properly. The car is driven on both long and short journeys. It has only done 58000. Any suggestions please as to what might be causing this?
