Here are some options on the CKP : https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=jaguar+f+pace+crank+position+sensor&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2332490.m570.l1313 Can't find the other sensor you mention using your description on ebay but if you try the other usual suspects such as Amazon, ECP and so on you'll probably find one.

Hi Nicholas, suggest you talk to the folks at SNG Barrett for more insight, but be aware that they also will want to sell you the parts. The best person I know to ask about the upgrade to this type of Jaguar is Ken Jenkins, who trades his garage as Carlton Autos Ltd. Website link below.

Hi Mark, not exactly in London, but I have heard good things about Cotswold Automotive Parts (CAP) in Oxfordshire, who have repaired a number of electronic faults on members cars in the past. Website link below: Jaguar & Land Rover parts and accessories | Bicester N6 JMX

Hi Ade, welcome to the Forum and sounds like you have a plan in mind for your Jaguar. Not sure that red leather in the XF was ever an option but I am sure others with more knowledge will be along soon. If it wasn't an "off the shelf" choice from new, you may have to get creative and go for a full retrim of the seats. In the meantime, you could try a few of the specialised Jaguar Breakers, like Autoreserve or Eurojags, they would seem like the most appropriate option for now. N6 JMX

after changing inlet manafolds .the red light and restricted mod comes on 2010 xfs ..

Thanks Jim. Probably my fault I usually charge the battery every week during the winter months but missed a few. Like you said i put it on charge immediately and we ar back to normal. Thanks again.

I've found a lot of YT posters do a "Part 1" and "Part 2" to increase their views. Might be worth tapping on the posters ID pic and then "Videos" to see if there's another in their collection explaining the refill procedure. It's different for many models in the Jaguar range so i don't want to mention the method i know in case i send you on a wild goose chase.

Hi Jackie Sounds like you have a similar problem to one I had during lockdown. I let the battery completely discharge through lack of use. When AA got it started all OK except both rear doors remained locked and would not open. Mine was sorted under warranty but I understand a garage with the Autologic software can sort it quickly. I think the problem is that low voltage corrupts the software in one of the many computer modules so it needs re-coding. I have heard that these guys could help: https://www.eandeservices.co.uk/ They are in Luton but might be worth a call... Good luck John

I can't be sure on this but i've a feeling Smarty piggy-backs off Vodafone so may be worth getting your original SIM checked that they work in normal phones and/or substituting a known working SIM into the car in case there's a fault in the car system, rather than the SIM cards.

I am looking to convert a Jaguar V12 project from injection to carbs so looking for carbs and inlet manifolds please ?

Glad to hear you're all up and running again, worthwhile clearing that fault code for the furure - if something else happens and someone plugs in a reader it will show up and probably give a red herring to the diagnosis.

Hello Jim, Thanks for your Bagworld information , I will give them a buzz. Regards richard

Is it just the satnav that's inoperative? If yes, then the likely culprit is the disc player in the boot. However, the system is so out of date that it is almost pointless to try and get a repair, unless of course you are seeking to keep originality. There is an option on the 4.2 litre engined cars to have an upgrade to allow Apple CarPlay / Android Auto hooked up, which gives you all of the advantages of phone mirroring, Google Maps, Waze, etc. It's more convoluted in the 5.0 litre engined cars - it can be done, but more complex. Check out systems like Mr 12Volt and Cartronics. Come back here if you need more steer. N6 JMX

Hi wow 30 years really looking forward to going to shows I do attend lots locally but a couple further afield will now be easy to get to

If it is a 2.0 diesel, I would avoid it unless there is proof that the timing chains / tensioners have been replaced. If you search for 'ingenium diesel engine problems', it will tell you everything you need to know. The Ford / Peugeot 2.2 engine is far less problematic.

There are more images on the add on eBay , item number 157590941800, I thought it would be easy to tell with a side on image but trickier than I thought .

Unless you do lots of mileage over the year, with a high proportion of motorway running, don't buy a diesel engine. N6 JMX

It sounds like the cover on the hedlamp washers, should be safe enough to push back on if so but it might be the clip holding it has broken.

Genuine Jaguar XF Saloon 2008 - 2015 Boot Liner Tray. Jaguar Part Number - C2Z5613 This item was only fitted to the car to take the pictures. It is in as new condition as can be seen from the pictures. £100, Collection only please as there is no packaging to send the item. Located near Southport.

Yes, kits are available on ebay and/or your local motor factor relatively cheaply, usually about a fiver. However, if there is wear in the ball joint often it's is quicker and easier to renew complete, you'd need to look/check and see what the situation is.

Hi does anyone know of someone who can help me with the delamination of my dash?

Dear All, I hope someone can help me please..................... I have a Sept 19 (20MY) XE with the 10 inch (no side button) In Control Pro \ Touch Pro system. I did a system reset due to it becoming slow and in some case stuck on even when leaving and locking the car, but now, my system is not connecting to the internet. When I turn on the Mobile Data in the Connectivity section in settings, all it gives me is: "Sim Not Supported" I have tried all the standard things such as: Removing the sim, cleaning the sim and re-inserting the sim The sim IS inserted correctly The Sim is a 3 network Data Only sim that has 22gb left and is valid until June 27 The sim works 100% as I have tried it in my tablet and it connects as 4g and works to stream video etc.. Before I did the system reset, it connected and worked fine and also connected at 4g Prior to the reset I also checked to make sure there were no software updates for either the car or the entertainment system and it was all up to date. In addition, I have lost the the live options such as being able to see the weather etc, even if I connect via my mobile phone using a hotspot, I've pulled out the module in the centre console and all connections are fine. I've also pulled the F24 (Telematics) fuse that someone advised me to that was supposed to invoke a re-boot? But still all the same problem. So, How is the IMC (Infotainment Master Controller)recovery done? Can I do it, or does it have to go to a Dealer or Indy specialist to be connected up to Jag? Is there a way of invoking it at home, or putting it back to a previous version and then doing the updates again? Everything else on the system is working, and it also connects to the internet via my home Wi-fi when I'm parked outside so I have got all my personal settings back on including my In Control account and personal profile etc. As a further update, I have now tried the following things to try and get my Sim Card to work: Ensured my battery is fully charged - No change Tried a Ubigi card supplied by Jag from my sisters E-Pace which is active and connecting in the E-Pace - No Change Disconnected my cars battery and left it for approx 3 hours - No Change When I reconnected my battery, whilst the car had forgotten the time and date, all of my other ICT settings and memory such as phone, radio stations, and my profile were all still there. My car does connect to my home Wi-Fi whilst I am sat on my drive, so I am able to get my system up and running, but obviously as soon as I leave home, I'm disconnected. Ironically, I also tried connecting my car wirelessly to a hot spot from my mobile, but the car didn't see it, hence why I connected to my home wi-fi. So, whatever I try, when I attempt to turn on Mobile Data in the Connectivity section of the General Settings menu, all I get is "SIM CARD NOT SUPPORTED" If I take the Sim out, it says "READING SIM" Any ideas on how I can get it working again please other than having to go to a dealer and pay for it to be plugged in? I have attached screen images of my current software and also the sim not supported message I get. Regards, Dave

It's normally just behind the crankshaft pulley on the front of the engine. It's secured by a cap screw (5mm key as i recall, it's a Metric fastener so don't try a 3/16" Allen key as it will round out) and is awkward to get at but possible laying under a securely supported car. Patience is needed and a smear of silicone grease on the new "O" ring on the new sensor to help it slide in nicely. If the plug is dodgy as they deteriorate with age, you may want to go for what's known as a service kit that comes with a new plug with fly leads and you cut and connect them to the loom further back from the deteriorated area around the plug. Here are a few choices from Rock Auto : https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/jaguar,2002,x-type,2.5l+v6,1381182,ignition,crankshaft+position+sensor,7196 Good luck and hopefully that is the cause of your non-start.

Hi all. I have 2 engine serial numbers, beginning with PA & PB. Is there a way to tell what model of engine they are please to find out the engine size?

I am pleased to announce that the Scottish Jaguar Enthusiasts' Day will take place on Saturday the 6th of June 2026 at the Riverside Museum in Glasgow, (The Transport Museum). Entry will cost £10 per vehicle and pre-registration is required. All monies raised will be used to support our chosen charity for 2026, which is Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA). The event in 2025 raised nearly£2,000 for the charity. Plus a great day out was had by everyone who came along, exhibitors and visitors alike. For those of you who have not visited the Riverside Museum, it is a fantastic building with a stunning collection of Scotland’s transport history, plus it has a permanently moored Tall Ship, The Glenlee on the River Clyde, immediately adjacent to the Riverside – actually on the quayside of the museum. In addition, the newly opened Partick to Govan pedestrian bridge allows easy access to the attractions on the south side of the River Clyde. Accordingly, there is lots to see and do. Plus, there is a restaurant and café onsite as well. For “the other half” that may wish to experience the retail therapy that Glasgow – the Second City of the Empire - can offer, rather than chat about the fabulous Jaguars on display, there is a regular bus service from the front of the museum to the heart of the city and return.
