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.......

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 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

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.

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 There Thank you for accepting me into the forum, my name is Phil from Devon but currently living in the USA. Purchased a 2007 XJ8L with 35000 miles on the clock. Of course seller was not 100 % honest and the so called "oh not sure why the handbrake doesn't work" was way more involved than the statement. Checked out the codes with the ICARSOFT scanner and it pointed to the EPB unit, checked the output from the unit and there is no 12 volt to drive the actual actuator. applied and independent 12 volts to the actuator output wires and the actuator functions. So purchased a used in good condition EPB unit and of course that's not the problem. So last thing is the actual handbrake switch in the center console. I would be interested to know the procedure to get the switch out, I don't want to cannibalize the console as its immaculate. Also anyone know which are the wires that go into the EPB unit so i can try to replicate the switch action. any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My thanks in Advance -
Hi Yoshuey I bought my F type last year after a lot of soul searching and consideration of alternatives like the small Mercedes coupes which don't have the same features or pedigree. For a 6ft plus guy like me, they are also even tighter in the cockpit with even less storage space. The F styling is also far more attractive than the Mercs & BMers and they appear to be in great demand. From my point of view the only disadvantage is that you need a 2nd car for all the routine journeys like shopping , train catching, golf & DIY carriage. Also your garage needs to be long & wide ! Magnificent to drive though, no wonder I use the name Frazzle . -
