XJL Intermittent Starting Problem
Hi, My 2015 XJL has developed an intermittent problem of on occasions it will not turnover and start. This appears to be linked with opening and closing the boot as the non-starting can occur after I have placed something in the boot and sometimes can start after opening and shutting the boot. Recently the engine stopped when in traffic I pulled into the side of the road to allow oncoming traffic through…..the ECO stop start stopped the engine and it refused to restart. I opened the boot using

XJ40 1989 Arriving Next Week
Evening All, I have a rather nice new to me 1989 XJ40 arriving early next week, the seller told me the tyres on the car are still the original tyres supplied new with the car in 1989! He reckons they are still in great condition but really i dont think i should be considering using them at all. So, i tried all the usual online tyre sellers plus our local tyre dealers only to find that replacements for the originals still on the car are just about as scarce as rocking horse.......

Potential XK8 Purchase
LB26 ·Hi All. i’ve found a 1998 4.0L XK8 that I’m interested in done 162k, Blue, non convertible. car looks pristine inside and out. The previous owner was an Engineer for 20 years and treated it as his “baby”. Unfortunately he’s passed and that’s the reason for the sale from the family. because he was an engineer he appeared to have done all this own servicing, repairs, Upgrades etc, but there is no paper trail of what was done. The last Stamp was 2015 Can anyo -
Reversing camera madness.
Hi everybody, I'm completely new to this but having looked around your site, feel with your enthusiasm and great wisdom someone could help or advise on my troubles. I have owned the XF for six years and although the car and l have had various disagreements, ( not wanting to start being just one) it still brings a smile to my face when l look at it. Anyway enough nostalgia, the problem is an old chestnut, intermittent reversing camera. The camera and all front and rear sensors st

Temperature gauge irregular: can it hurt the dpf?
JGO ·Driving around in the city with all the traffic stops/starts and slow momentums my 2019 XF gets to temperature (on the digital gauge) and stays there, but within 10 minutes of dual carriageway or motorway speed the temperature dial drops down to the 'blue' on the dial and just hovers there. Also noticed the stop/start is not kicking in. How is one supposed to clear out the DPF if the temperature isn't correct. Otherwise all things relative, car purring like the cat it is 👌 Any pointers -

New to Jaguar Owners Club
Greetings to all. For the last 17 years I have owned and used a Mercedes Vito van, after retiring this year, the van with 220,00 reliable miles on the clock was part exchanged for a 2019 XF Sportsbrake. The car is great, I am still finding my way with it as it is a far cry from a Vito Van! First long trip tomorrow. Southport to Scotland and back a 500 mile round trip which I am looking forward to.

Oil Dilution
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?

S-Type 2006 - Remotes won't pair with the car
Might be worth checking if there's a separate receiver/antenna module for the keyless entry that's failed. I've heard of cases where the door module and receiver are two different components.

XJR-6 Tyres
I've had good luck with Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on my older X type - they handle well in the wet and last a decent amount of time.

Headlight fault
Sounds like the light switch stalk itself might be faulty since you're getting backwards behavior with lights coming on when it's "off" - might be worth checking if the stalk connector is clean or if the switch needs replacing.

Check Pedestrian System Warning
To me it sounds like the pedestrian detection sensor in the front bumper is likely the culprit, especially since pulling the F36 fuse (which probably disables that system) made it go away temporarily - hope the garage already resolved it!
