Hi Everyone! I have just bought a 2018 XF awd Sportbrake having owned a 2013 XF saloon since 2019. On my older Jag, there is a section on the display where I can select the paddles to work in Drive and Sport or Sport only whereas on the newer one I cannot find this function. The paddles only work in Sport mode. Is there a function somewhere that I can get the paddles to work in both modes, do 2018 models not have this function or is there a problem? Any input gratefully received KR Hardwood1

Fantastic! Thanks, Jim. I'll look at my unit and order if it looks the same.

Hi all i bought a 1996 xk8 last year ( all working and no issues. Was in same family for 26 yrs and always garaged . I’ve not used it much ( maybe 50 miles in 12 months due to work . But it now doesn’t start on dash shows message - check engine . I’ve had it plugged into my local garage computer test but due to age fault code can’t be recognised . Does anyone know of a reliable/ reasonably priced jag specialist garage near to Middleton/ Rochdale area . Regards Dave

Given the lack of new products and uncertain future in the US any thoughts on the prospects for service availability and resale prices?

Thanks mate, I will contact them, as it happens one of my friends just mentioned Swallows to me. He told me they are excellent. I'll give them a call and get it booked in. Many thanks for your help, if there's anything I can do for you just ask. Cheers Dar

Hi Tamara I would tell you to read my post The Great DPF debate in this forum. Replace both EGR valves. Get the car to a reputable garage and get the DPF removed and professionally cleaned. Do not not have it cleaned on the car as this is a scam. Hope this helps Peter in the UK

Hello, appreciate any advice on the this. I have 3 keys for my 2004 XJ6 X350 model, all have lost their radio sychronisation so I cannot remotely unlock the car. Earlier today I was able to use one set of keys to manually unlock the car and start it. Since then, I can now longer even manually unlock the car. The key just seems to turn in the lock (maybe the heat at the moment is a factor?). I have replaced the batteries in all 3 sets of keys that I have, however that has not helped. Anything else I can try? Anyone who is good to contact regarding this? Thanks in advance! Paul

Hi Steve. FYI The P1000 PCM code can be thrown by a battery disconnection, or possibly low voltage and needs a Drive cycle to be completed to allow the Power Control Module to reset. Drive Cycle Instructions are normally to drive until everything is warmed up and use all the gears with a fairly aggressive right foot. Then leave the car overnight and hopefully it will have reset itself. The P1647 upstream O2 sensor fault refers to a sensor in the exhaust monitoring the Catalytic convertor, so probably worth getting a proper diagnostic on that whilst you are at the garage to avoid damaging the cat. Good luck John BTW the sills you can see from the roadside are plastic covers. The scarry bits are underneath 🙂

Good afternoon! I'm trying to find anyone who has upgraded their XK 5.0 N/A with the Adamesh 4 tip exhaust back box. Firstly I'd like to see what it looks like fitted with the supplied diffuser/valance, secondly what the feedback is on the sound/performance? Unfortunately Adamesh won't reply to me, I don't want to purchase if the diffuser doesn't suit! Thank you!

Welcome Craig 😁

Hello everyone, hope you may be able to assist! Recently purchased my 2005 4.2L V8 (86k miles) and the handbrake warning (amber) is now illuminated. However the electric handbrake still functions as normal with no problems currently! Looking for recommendations for a local specialist/garage in Southampton, Hampshire area if anyone has any references please. Many thanks.

I've tried the pencil graphite on many things over the years ( Car Fobs, TV Remotes etc ) and it's rarely successful and never lasts for long even if it seems to work ar first. Hopefully the conductive paint will do the job for you.

Hi there, new member with an X351 Autobiography, and already in trouble… Just a few hours ago my suspension fault warning came on, and although I can’t notice any issues with the car (yet) I am quite worried. My Icarsoft LR3.0 doesn’t show any fault with the suspension, so I wonder if anyone in Sussex has an SSD and could check it for me. Thank you in advance! Xander

Update 25. 06.2026 Hi all, thought I would drop in and provide an update on the above article. Wow, I was on one wasn't I 🙂 Yes I still have the same car and we have made it to 115k without any of the previous RP issues whatsoever. She has performed beautifully. I am now changing oil every 6 months regardless. The filter every year. I really hope some of you have saved yourselves heartache from my experience. Its just passing it forward to help other people, we share the golden knowledge without needing feedback. I know your out there smiling now, job done. Rest and be thankful 🙂 Onwards...

Hello. Can anyone recommend a garage around Wimbledon area (S London) to sort out the air suspension fault on my 2005 XJ6?

Hi All I’ve recently bought a 2021 F-Pace P250. Absolutely love the car, however, it’s has what can only be described as a judder when off the power. the car has done 38k with 2 services done. When you’re slowing down (without the brakes) or at high speed and come off the power it feels like a slight judder through the body of the car NOT the steering wheel. I’ve had it checked and it’s going back to the dealer in Monday for diagnosis however I’m wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing…. Garage I took it to has mentioned it could be diverting in the drive train but didn’t want to go too far as it’s under the 3 month warranty period Any thoughts would be welcome

And that is why the insurance company have said it is a total loss. Remember, the selling price includes the sellers profit, your insurance company will not want to pay anything to the sellers profit margin.

Yes, sticky throttle flap is common and can be fixed by filing it slightly, so it doesn't stick anything. did that in mine. Although never heard of sticky flap throttle and dtc for dpf full as result...
