Hi Gareth, could it be something as simple as the phone, post upgrade, needs to be reconnected to the Bluetooth adaptor? N6 JMX

Hi - what sort of figure are you expecting? Regards John

Yes it's a AGM stop/start battery.

Car needs scanning with SDD first off. Problem could be electronic, issue with gearbox or likely torque converter. Sounds like an electronic issue somewhere to me, hence the SDD scan.

Good luck Barry

These arms are common wear parts on the XF

I did this to spray the plastic chrome bits on the top of the fake vents. Make sure you rub the 'chrome' down with very fine wet and dry paper, to give the paint something to adhere too. Also use a plastic primer on it before top coat of black. Happy days.

A gearbox remap may be better for you, considering the modest gains with an engine remap. I have had my XFR remapped and pullies changed on SC. I have about 600hp and 700nm torque. This doesnt make the car undriveable, you just have to learn 'how' to drive this sort of power. Coincidentally it has improved my mpg. Combined is about 28mpg. As for 'ride' my R is perfectly smooth. With the trick suspension it's comfortable just cruising around and sharpens itself up with enthusiastic driving. So you get the best of both worlds. If your NA has the trick suspension, then there will be no difference in ride between it and the R version.

Thank you! I'll take a look.

thank you

Hi I am Tim and have just joined. I have a Jaguar XJ V6 Diesel Portfolio - 2011 I was wondering if anyone could help or advise. I have had the car approximately 6 months ago. Someone pointed out to me that my brake light on the rear drivers side was not working. The indicator and the side light at the top a small strip was working, but the brake and side lights were not working. A local mechanic looked at it and said that the light unit was half full of water. I took it off and drilled 2 small holes at the bottom to drain it, but unfortunately the brake and side lights are not working, just the indicator and a strip of the side light. Is it possible to get this repaired. I live in North Wales, Abergele so somewhere in the area would be good. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Tim

Hi, just joined the forum. I have an IRR XFR, 2014 plate with 71k.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a really good/experienced garage to look after an early 1990’s Jag XJRS? Based near Walton - and needing help with engine trouble 😑.

Hi Martin, why not list your "For Sale" item in the Marketplace section a little further down the Forum Homepage. No-one is really going to come to the model section to look at items for sale and one more post here and your item disappears from the front page! Just a suggestion. N6 JMX

Distracting

I don't think they ever light up. TBF it is a pretty standard gearbox set up in the manual so I can't say I have ever seen it as an issue.

Probably either a faulty sensor or worn out module which is located in the boot near the spare wheel. You should be able to hear the sensors clicking if you put your ear close to them when in reverse, a faulty one will be silent . Both of the above items are available on ebay but make sure you get the module for cars with front and rear sensors. Also if there is a fault the indicator light will often flash on and off and sometimes beeps to indicate they are not working.

Hi Alan, that does sound a little bit salty, but there could be a number of reasons for the higher cost. Did you get an estimate breakdown? I suspect that there is little appetite amongst the dealer network to continue support for Jaguar as Jaguar Cars Ltd have not been very supportive of the dealerships, walking away from them in many cases. There may be also age related items that are not a normal part of the annual service such as auxiliary belts, etc. You are probably fortunate that you have a number of dealerships in your locale, but as the warranty period is well past, you also have the option of finding a good local independent to undertake your work and build a relationship for the future. I actually still have my own 2010 XKR under Jaguar Extended Warranty and spoke to them recently about the situation with the dealerships. They advised that as long as the work, such as servicing, is carried out to the correct procedure and interval, there would be no problem with the warranty conditions. They also said that an independent could undertake warranted repairs, provided they first got the go ahead from the warranty provider - same as a dealership would. Keep the Forum informed as to how you progress as this is a topic of real interest at the moment. N6 JMX

How much would you be Asking for the brembo brake calipers front and rear . And the mounts

Hi Scott, great catch, well done N6 JMX

That’s great….. I will get that looked!! Thank you

Thanks ... excellent. Found exactly what I require.

Hi. Apologies, I should have probably explained. I've recently had my engine rebuilt which included a new block being installed. I've trying to understand if I need to notify DVLA and get V5 changed. The company that did the rebuild work for me don't seem to engage with me now I've paid them and I'm struggling to get inormation from them.

Hello everyone I've owned S-Type Jaguar since 2002. For the last 10 years I've had an 2004 S-Type. This morning while pulling out of my driveway they had repaved it and I skidded in gravel. Loss of traction. It didn't seem like a big deal however now it says restricted performance and as you know it's like Limp Mode. My regular mechanic doesn't work on this particular car and it's hard to find someone to work on an S-Type older than a 2006 here in St Louis Missouri United states. Although my car only has 125,000 miles on it. It's now acting different because of the restrictions. My mechanic suggested I disconnect the battery for a few hours. But it didn't work. This is my baby and I am on a fixed income as a disabled senior. Any ideas? [email protected]
