HI Guys, I need some help on how to fixed or get rid of this Sign. I just got a 2010 XF s a few days ago and it was fine before until I start driving away and the sign pop up. is it still save to drive or do I need to fixed that immediately. What is the best way to deal with this situation. Should I send it to the garage or I should try to regenerate it and drive to the motorway and hoping for it to clear. Really appreciate your guys help since I never own a Jaguar XF s before. Thank you in advance guys.

I have a 2018 jaguar XJR 575 and have had a few upgrades done. The issue is when trying to remap the vehicle the supercharger can only make 1.9 bar of boost, the supercharger should be able to get 2.1bar or 2.2bar but mine just won't go above 1.9 bar. Any one of any ideas why and how to get above 1.9bar

I have the same problem, I just unplug the connectors from the ep module then plug them back in, it’s located in the boot drivers side behind the panel cover, just unscrew the luggage hook and remove the fir tree plug, first time was difficult to remove connectors so I rubbed some lubricants on the side of the connectors, now it’s a 2 minute job. I am booked into a local jag specialist next week, I hope they can solve this common problem on the s-type, good luck. David.

Hi Dom, welcome to the wonderful world of XKR motoring. The supercharger only works as hard as you press the throttle, so enjoy and use it for what it was designed for. N6 JMX

Hello all. I just brought home my 2011 XKR. I have wanted an XKE or XK for many years! I am a little concerned about the supercharged engine being a bit much but I'll get used to it!

Hi John, Can I ask how you connected the camera in the kit from Empirical into the car? I've spoken to Dougie about this and I may use them to get a camera retrofitted to my 2018 Sportbrake. He said its no problem and the kit you bought will work fine for mine. But, I'm also considering changing the screen to a 10 inch Android-play after market unit. Dougie said if I chose that route I wouldn't need his kit and just need to buy a camera for £60 because the aftermarket 10" screens have the interface that his kits provide. So my conundrum now is how would I get a camera into the system. The screens come all plug and play but that's all behind the dash at the front of the car. Did you have to run the camera wires that came with your empirical kit through the car from the back to the front? If so, did was this difficult and was it through the roof liner or the floor? I'm hoping you can tell me it plugged into the loom at the back somewhere... 🤞. I've acquired a "new" tailgate button with the integral camera from a 2019 X260 that has the mini loom attached which is about 8" long and has two wires with plugs that I think are the coaxial connector and the power plug. Any help you can offer will be gratefully received. It didn't seem appropriate to ask Dougie as this option would mean I wouldn't need to buy from him. Cheers, Michael.

Hello. Can anyone suggest where I can get my roof lining repaired on my Jaguar S type please. Thank you.

Hi Julian, I have had good experience of a terrific outdoor waterproof cover for my 32yre old Merc SL from a company called Coverdale. here is a link for you to check them out but i recommend the model they call Platinum, it fits the car perfectly and is fully snug fit all the way around under the sills, front and rear bumper. They also include 2 straps to anchor the cover in very windy conditions. Here is the link: https://www.carcarpets.co.uk/jaguar-s-type-saloon-car-cover-1999-to-2008-54769-p.asp And here is a pic of my SL under the coverdale, NOTE: that it is not anything like the bulk standard silver/grey shiny material, it's a soft feel waterproof fit.

I am also struggling with this. Almost £800 for a replacement crash bar from Jaguar! Can anyone help? not much doing on eBay and can't find any aftermarket options

Hi Lloyd, most folks are looking for a full size spare, so you are definitely in the minority. The short answer to your initial question is yes, a 19-inch space saver will work with your car. The reason being is that the 19-inch wheel and tyre combination has a very similar rolling circumference / diameter to your 20-inch wheel + tyre that will have a lower profile sidewall. The original Jaguar sourced 19-inch space saver was painted black as opposed to the 18-inch version which was red / orange. I don't believe Jaguar still offer the space saver wheel, but there are several aftermarket options available. Once such version is Road Hero, who have Kwik Fit as their sales agent. The link below should take you to the correct place on the Kwik Fit website. Of course you don't need to purchase the parts from Kwik Fit, but the site will advise you what you are needing. https://www.kwik-fit.com/tyres/road-hero-spare-wheels Hope this helps. N6 JMX

Has anyone any experience of waterproof winter covers for a modern S Type? thanks Julian

I have just received module 7W93-10D893-AB to install BT /Phone in my 2007 S type unfortunately neither of the spare connectors behind the CD player fit , the car has Jaguar voice also, the larger connector is white and the smaller one black there is also a single optic spare

Hi, I have purchased a 2022 Jaguar F-Pace that has a full size spare wheel in the boot, but the wheel and the cover that is a huge bulge takes alot of boot space. The car is on 20" jaguar alloys. I would like to purchase a space saver spare wheel - I cannot find a 20" space saver on Jaguar, but lots on Landrover Velar and the bolt / stud pattern looks the same - Would this work? Can I use a 19" space save but with 20" alloys? I am also looking for the flat boot carpet that covers the spare wheel area - I currently have the big bulging one that is for a full size spare Please go easy with me on the questions above😉 All help / advice appreciated and if you have any of the items for sale, or know of them, drop me a link.. Lloyd

Hi. Can anyone recommend a caliper paint, Either spray can or brush on. There's so many different brands it's really hard to no what is quality and what is rubbish. Thanks Gary Williams

Hi Jon I feel your pain. TX valve on my XF is stuck. £30 valve that needs two screws undoing to replace. Except to get at it you need to remove the entire dashboard and Heating and Ventilation / Air conditioning system 😞 Good luck John

Aircon not working in my 2019 Ipace. Dealer has done diagnostic and there’s a leaking pipe. Apparently to fix requires dropping out the battery - 2days work and very expensive - has anyone had a similar experience ?

1 BRAND NEW bare XJ 351 Heated steering wheel. the box looks a bit worse for wear but the wheel is virtually brand new. I have been informed that it was fitted to an XJ but was removed at PDI as the customer wanted a heated wooden steering wheel, and all the buttons and paddles were swapped onto the new wheel. I'm open to offers around £300 + postage. I don't visit here that often so if your interested drop me a PM and i will get back to you ASAP I have been handed several boxes of genuine Jaguar parts from one of my mates after the dealer where he worked closed and I will be slowly going though them and posting them up for sale.

The car with that registration, a black F-Pace with 57,482 miles on the clock passed its latest MoT on Aug.01.24. Without access to the V5, you cannot get additional information such as location of the test station, so unable to pinpoint a town / city. N6 JMX

wow, you've already done quite a bit! i'm no expert, but could it be something to do with the instrument cluster itself? just spitballing here, might be way off.
