I cannot disconnect the actuator electrical connection. I'm sure it must have a clip to release the connector but I can't feel it & with such limited access can't see one either. Could someone please let me know how to un-plug the electrical connector. Then I can focus on the dreaded task of getting the actuator out... It seems there should be a lever on the side of the connector that you'd press but there is none. Wonder if there used to be but it's been broken off? Any hint of what's stopping it coming out would be appreciated.

If you open the throttle does it keep running longer?

Check rear rubber damper

Have similar probs with my XF,but only in downpour conditions,learnt to live with this occasional problem by running the car for 30 minutes or so til the unit dries out,a lot better than the £600 to replace it.Glyn G.

The old filter was tight enough as I needed to use a filter wrench to loosen it after wiping it down. I hand tighten my filters and have never had a leak. It is a low pressure system after all, of 40 lbs or so. I had someone with young eyes look yesterday and he said it is all dry now. That leaves me thinking that the mating surface must have had some dirt on it causing a leak. So, false alarm. Thank you.

Hi all ,changed N/S & O/S rear door glass quarter seals due them being perished and split easy job 10 mins per side the parts are available at Rimmer Bros N/S -C2Z10105 £38:48 O/S -C2Z10104 £36:69 not cheap I know and different price depending on what side ,but I am fussy and every time I cleaned the car it bothered me to change you just have to remove seal no need to disassemble any glass or door, just remove ,clean area ,I used a little washing up liquid as a lubricant to fit new seal to prevent any tearing of rubber whilst fitting and you just push it back into ridge of the door as the other came from job done ✅ thanks Dan

Hi all ,picked up this cheap kit from eBay to clean the underbody of the car was only £59=99 and some protectant to spray on afterwards ,seems well made they do various types depending on what pressure washer you have (Karcher is what I use ),I have been impressed with results ,there is many to choose from online and all work similarly ,possibly even cheaper to buy Dan

Hy i have jaguar xf2008 my gear selector stuck on d 😞 I ordered other one my question my old key will be working or we need to do program????

I got a straight red dpf light so I went for a drive to clear it. This didn't work & I got the amber engine warning on now too! After some googling I've read both "go for a longer drive" & "go straight to a dealer" so I need help! Hopefully from one of you guys! XF 3.0 Portfolio 2012 diesel

I genuinely don't know what bolts you mean or do you mean the retaining screw that keeps the spare secure in the boot? I wasn't aware that the standard wheel nuts weren't compatible with the space saver.If they aren't where in the car should I find the spare wheel ones.?😉

One of the fobs on my XKR-S doesn’t work to open or start the car, in fact doesn’t seem to do anything. The battery is brand new from selling garage but to be sure I tried a new one of my own and still no joy. My suspicion is the previous battery was dead for too long and the fob has lost its program. does anyone know if these can be re programmed by myself or do I need to take it to a Jaguar main dealer. And if that’s the case, would an independent Jaguar specialist be able to do it.?

Thanks for the welcome Frank - certainly is my pride and joy!

Does anyone have the capability to determine the Jag part number

For Sale: 1994 Jaguar XJS 6.0 V12 Coupe 1990 Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 Coupe 1997 Jaguar XK8 4.0 V8 Coupe Selling on behalf of my father who has owned, cherished and cared for these cars for a number of years (15, 24 and 20 years respectively!) He was a serious Jaguar collector with an experienced eye for only the best examples who owned countless models over the years and at one point had as many as 50 Jags in his personal fleet including five XJS’s! These are the latest 3 cars to be offered for sale from his collection, all are in superb condition, ready to be enjoyed for the summer and from an enthusiast who only ever owned the best examples. I’m sure you won’t find better elsewhere! All cars come with stacks of receipts, service history and documentation, too much to list here. Since ownership they have all been maintained by my father’s private mechanic who worked for Jaguar full time and dedicated weekends to servicing my father’s collection. All cars are priced realistically for a quick sale and as per all the cars that have been sold from his collection so far they will sell fast so please get in touch if interested. Serious buyers only please, no canvassers/dreamers/tyre kickers/swaps/trades/buy sight unseen/I am moving the UK next week/can I pay in pesetas/my wife makes the decisions/I am a Nigerian prince etc. 1994 Jaguar XJS 6.0 V12 Coupe in Flamenco Red. One of the most desirable models being the last of the top of the line 6.0’s, especially in the sought after combination of Red over Cream interior. Owned since 2008 and with 103k miles. Mot until the end of 2023 and has recently had full paint correction, polished chromework and engine detailing. This car looks spectacular and is in very good condition, a real head turner and an excellent investment. £15,950 1990 Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 Coupe in Warminster Grey. One of the last pre facelifted models, in a great colour combo. Owned since 1999, 96k miles and with just 2 previous owners! MOT until end of March 2024 and has just had new plugs, leads, cap, arm and exhaust. 16 stamps in the service history prior to being maintained annually by my father’s private Jaguar mechanic. She’s had the lattice alloy wheels recently refurbished, looks fantastic and is a true collectors piece. £10,950 1997 Jaguar XK8 4.0 V8 Coupe in a very rare Arctic White with half black leather interior. This car is a real head turner with the sought after BBS Detroit alloys. Most cars in this spec were exported to Japan making it highly desirable given it is a UK registered car. Owned since 2003 with just 3 previous owners, 2 of which being my father’s ex wife and himself before that, effectively making it a 1 previous owner car! The car has just 85k miles and is MOT’d until September having recently had new plugs and a thorough presale inspection. Sadly this car was Cat D registered around 15 years ago after a tree fell on a number of cars in my dad’s collection. This XK8 only suffered a dented bonnet and broken headlight and I have pictures to show the minimal damage. It was repaired professionally but the price is greatly reduced in light of this, making it a real bargain. £7950

Hi Dennis --Sorry to hear of your disappointment I'm afraid that at times when things are busy things get over looked and your post 9 months ago wouldn't stay up front for all that time ???? So if you still have a problem please try again ???---I wish you all the best is the car still bad after "9 months" of driving ???----Good luck if you go for finding a better group ???

As above, fair for age condition? 100k. Full black leather interior. MOT until end of Oct. Aircon defective Rear park sensors defective Leak in coolant system. Accident scuff on Front near side bumper. Sticks in park sometimes. Useful for parts if unwanted as doer upper.

Did you end up having to switch the control module? I'm in the midst of replacing my door now and wondering if it's as easy as a straight swap.

Really sorry to hear. I think I would be looking at a replacement engine from a non-JLR source which I suspect will cost a fraction of what you have been quoted. Just google F Pace replacement engine, there are plenty offering free quotes. Good luck

Hi all, TURBO FAILURE £20k replacement engine work! Any urgent advice would be greatly appreciated. Never thought I would be in this situation and truly heartbroken! I bought a 2017 F-Pace Portfolio from a Jaguar Dealer in July 2019 for just shy of £27k. It had 55k on the clock. I have never bought any car more than about £13k previously with experience of smaller BMW, Audi, VW, all doing mileages well into the late 150k+. But with a young and growing family I chose to up our motoring game to what I thought would be the height of our car buying abilities and have great motoring adventures together. During it's time with us I have had the timing chains replaced after stretching (under Jaguar warranty) - Around £2k of work, along side DAB failure, as well as inoperable front headlamp. Then last year, June'22, the car came to a spluttering stop in the middle of a four lane dual carriageway. AA towed to Jag dealer to be informed that the crank pulley had "fallen apart" and split the intake hose. Another £2k, not covered by the select extended warranty I took out, with a small contribution returned by JLR after a fair amount of calls. A few weeks ago, the car again spluttered to a stop. AA towed to the same dealer to be informed that the turbo had failed and the "catastrophic engine failure", as well as CATS and DSP gone. The car has done 89k now. The dealer came back and said that it would cost £19,500 to sort. At which point I was speechless, and haven't really recovered from the news yet. The warranty guys have been out and assessed the car and agreed on the £3k max contribution that the select agreement has. I never thought that there would be such damage to require much for than twice this amount - in my thinking of worst case scenarios! How wrong was I? the dealership have informed me that the nut that holds the turbo on came off! How can a car which cost over £50k new, have such a weak spot of weakness to need nearly £20k of work on it? I have called JLR customer relationship and after a large number of calls and hard work trying to get hold of someone (they were very pleasant and understanding on the phone) but have now offered to contribute 20% of the costs (£3600) as a gesture of good will. I don't have a spare £14k to spend on fixing my car! My kids wont get anywhere near the things i would have liked to have provided them with this year, like a holiday etc, if I have to spend this much to get a car back on the road. I can't afford to just throw £18-20k value of car away. JLR have also said that I must decide before the end of the month if I want to get the work carried out! I have seen that there is a court case in the states regarding this engine (in disco's too I think?) I have also seen that a fair number of people have had this problem. I know that the car is now 6 years old and with nearly 90k on the clock, I do expect motoring bills, but this is beyond a joke. Can anyone give me additional help with this? I even bought a diecast model, jaguar jumper and laptop case! I was all in with JLR. Have lost complete faith in them. My 3 series had 240k on the clock, my audio 193k. I can go on..... Thanks in advance.

Please add me to the list,have bought tickets. Thank you Graham

Good morning all. I am a new member needing advice please. I have had this car from new and is serviced regulary kept pristeen as per photo. My side wing pannel has started going 'bubbly' so decided to put in my garage for last three months (SORN), as weather has been so bad to dry out. I had a trickle charger onto battery, being a year old, A few days ago, tried to start car, working perfectly before then, engine tried to turn over, but would not fire. Took to garage replaced all plugs. "Car wil not fire" turns over but will not fire up as you would expect. My Garage unfortunaty who have served me well on this car does not have time to 'strip' car if required being a relativly small, but excellent garage.Any member have a view on what it could be please? Keep safe Eddy

I have recently had the same problem. I have two fobs. The most used fob I was using started to play up. Like you I replaced the battery. Managed to enter & start the car no problem. I left my car for about ten days, then I needed it & the fob wouldn’t work. I looked online & found how to remove it cover on the NSF door. Slid rearward, then I pulled the key and opened the n/s door & the alarm started then I wondered if I put the key in the dash it stopped. Car would start & drive. Looking again online again, I found you might need your fob recoaded with a code reader. I haven’t got one either. So I can still use the other fob without any problems. I hope this helps you out. Good luck m8. Dez
