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

Hi All, I just wanted to say thanks for all your comments, they’ve been very helpful. Thanks, Nigel -
I have reluctantly sold my XJL, sad to see it go but common sense prevailed and the world is full of cars looking for a new home. So for the time being I am not a Jaguar Owner….. but watch this space ! -

Hi All Second post, so still need to be gentle with me 🙂 So, been doing a fair amount of research onto the best boots for my 2011 XKR-S... General consensus seems to be Mich Pilot Sport 4S (happy for people to say otherwise!)... Suspect current tyres on newly purchased car (with stage 1 remap, so think about 570HP) have a really decent set of Continental tyres, suspect 6-8mm tread depth... So, my question/s are: 1) Will the Pilot Sport 4S be the 'night and day' change that some posts {elsewhere} have inidcated, at about £950 for 4 new boots? Any comments from people who have actaully switched would be good (I appear to have a heavy right foot, grip is currently, err, you know!) 🙂 2) Is there a second hand market for 255/35/R20 Y + 295/30/R20 Y? Here, or elsewhere, as if tread depth is good on current, seems a shame to bin em (for me and the planet) Am paying for leather restoration, indpendent Jab inspection, and full 4/5 day detail (car is 2011, mint, straight, but the black is maybe a bit 'dull' now)... If I can pay £1,200 for the detail / ceramic, I can pay £950 for new tyres, but binning decent tyres just doesn't feel right... {Retirement lump sums are burning a hole in my pocket, turned 55 late Jan... Had a IRR XKR-S 2013-15, sold when I brought a house, always promised myself I'd get one back one day 😉) Cheers all! Jason

Hi N6 Been away for a few days... The Cartronics one looks like a head unit retrofit, will research if this removes any functionality, whereas think the Mr12Volt one utilises the current screen, need to do some research 🙂 Have signed up to XKCC, hope to make meet later in year, maybe we'll get to say hello! Cheers again Jason
