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

Hi All, My windscreen wipers suddenly stopped working whilst driving home. Pulled into the next services and awaited assistance. After a long wait, help arrived but to no avail. Managed to drive home in dry conditions. Booked car in with local Jag specialist. Car checked out and wiper motor proved to be operational after gaining access and isolating to test. On reassembly wipers still not operational via stalk switch. Specialist suspected water ingress problem in Control Junction Box in drivers

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.

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

Hi all, I’m new here and looking for some advice, I’m looking to purchase the XJ6 and have one in my sights, I do however wish to buy a long wheel base. I have found one that the seller has told me is a LWB but upon running the reg through total car check it comes back as a SWB. I know that the extra length is in the rear doors, I am struggling to tell from the side image that I have. Just wondering if there are any eagle eyed members who could give their opinion please ? regards Matt

Hi, New member here! My 2002 x-type 2.5 petrol, purchased new and with only 80k mi, is not starting. The car was in storage on a battery tender for the past month. Initially after taking it out of storage the car started and ran for ~30mins but after shutting it off, it would not restart. - Battery, alternator, & starter are all good (confirmed with local shop) - No error codes It feels like an ECM issue, any suggestions? Best, Sean

I was using a long thin blade kitchen knife under the cassette to release it, and get it out. I was at a car stereo repair shop to get it fixed. After he got the player unit out, it took the guy all of 10 minutes to fix it. No parts needed to be replaced. No more CD's jamming, the 6-disk cassette kicks out easily. The issue is in the unit, not the cassette. Grease gets dried out and sticky was his answer. I'll let someone who's taken CD players apart and knows what they are doing handle it. -
Sorry for delay…. I’ve bought it after 3 years in a Barn drove 120 miles home and then the fun begins! It’s a project but a rust free virtually project! -
Hi all, Watched a video about the F pace on YouTube and the presenter highlighted the inconsistent indicator speed, Checked my own and it too is inconsistent, In the old days (🙄) it was controlled by a relay, Question is, is the F pace also controlled by a relay ?, and can it be rectified?, as I feel it may become annoying. -
Hi Steven, have you checked the fuses and, most importantly, the earth point for the offending items. Sounds very much like a bad earth connection point, probably corrosion at this time of year. N6 JMX -
