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

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. 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

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

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.

It's fair to say that Jaguar Cars are not supporting the heritage cars any longer, but Jaguar Classic are picking up the slack, so we do anticipate an increased spares availability going forward. In addition, there are a significant number of good after market suppliers working on spares availability, including the likes of SNG Barrett, Swallows, DCR, etc. Plus there are specialist Breakers for Jaguar cars around too. Also bear in mind that not everything on the cars were manufactured by Jaguar, lots of little companies provided parts to be built into the vehicles. Module repairs are also becoming a thing, with several known repair factors around the country, mainly in the Midlands and south of the country. If you overthink the future viability of any classic car, you will not be buying anything. If you are concerned at all, then you may wish to rethink your classic car ambitions. N6 JMX

I have the same warning on my car...had a JLR specialist look at it and the problem is the airbag under the bonnet..it's being repaired next week. -
Hi John, unfortunately I live in Poland. ☺️but thanks. -
Hi Frank Most important is to ensure new battery is an AGM. Personally I would look at Kwikfit who did mine twice with no problem and I got a 5 year guarantee. If doing it yourself people do suggest using a battery tender to maintain a 12v supply whilst you change the battery over. Regards John -
Thanks for all that really useful info. Much appreciated. There was another issue that worried me, and that's a reported shortage of spares with Jaguar no longer manufacturing them. I've read modules are no longer available but some companies can now repair them. I also read subframes can go on the 150 and these aren't available. Maybe I'm over worrying but it's be an issue if something like a roof module failed and I couldn't get a replacement. -
Hi we are looking to move my wife's 2.5 X Type on. One family owner, was her fathers for the first 9 years and she has had it for the last 11 plus years.
