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

I'll give a try with Franciacorta Sparkling Wine... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franciacorta_DOCG

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...

Hi Dalia, the link below will take you to the Jaguar Classic Parts website for your model and timing chain options. It looks like they may be available to order direct from JLR. Timing Chains And Adjusters | Jaguar Land Rover Classic Parts N6 JMX

Doubt he still considers it 3y later...either got what he wanted or gave up by now🤣

Which model, year? What you want to see?

The aircon on my XFR has been playing up. Was working fine one day and then no 'cooled' air output. It runs on 'auto' all year round, so thought that sudden refrigerant loss wasn't likely, but a re-gas was maybe worth a try. I thought that rather than do the 106 mile round trip to work to get it done, I would use someone local. This was a mistake, as on both occasions that we took it in for our appointment, the aircon machine malfunctioned ! I then took it into work, first try revealed that the system was only indicating a small amount of refrigerant loss, which was topped up. This didn't have any effect, a more detailed check diagnosed a failed compressor. Not the cheapest component to buy, JLR offer two options, 'new' on an exchange basis at approx £1025 plus a refundable surcharge for returning the old unit, or a re-manufactured unit for approximately £685 plus the same surcharge. I do get parts at cost, so would be significantly cheaper, but still a lot of money on a 2010 vehicle. The supercharger belt and serpentine belt are also meant to be changed at the same time, so there was this to factor in as well. I did some shopping around and eventually settled on this: https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/nrf/13865282?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=orderConfirmation&utm_term=link8&deep_link=orderConfirmation&kmtx_hash=eyJtaWQiOiJ1aWQtNjg0OWRhZmEzMThjMzEuNjg3Mjg1NzUiLCJob3N0IjoiYnV5Y2FycGFydHMuY28udWsiLCJ0eXBlIjoib3JkZXJDb25maXJtYXRpb24ifQ%3D%3D Under £250 with free delivery and a 2 year guarantee. Had it fitted earlier and now basking in blissfully cooled air ! Waiting for the bill for the belts and fitting but saved me about £225 compared to the re-manufactured unit, even at 'cost' price.

Thanks for that i dont know why i cant .

This is a common fault on the XK8 and here is a video showing you how to repair it.

Pics, location, reg number, could prove useful for anyone interested.

When i go on menu and scroll to find vehicle info so i can check tyre pressure it doesnt give me that option i havethe xf sport 2020. .

Hi all, anyone purchased a 'boot bag' for luggage storage, that sits on the boot lid of an XK8? Thanks in anticipation

I have similar problem, maybe not as annoying. I checked all door and window seals, nothing visible so decided to live with it.

I have a 1969 programme for a race meeting at Mallory Park. In the programme there is an advert for Dunlop Tyres showing E TYPE AOK 138B. This vehicle is still on the road and I would like to find the owner to ask if they would like the programme. Can anyone help please?

Thanks for the information it's appreciated. It is the middle module the one in the footwear drivers side. I have obtained the SDD and am in the process of reprogramming it to the car, I had the old one cleared byMuggles in Lincoln, so far so good

Hi Everyone. I have searched everywhere to find an answer to my question. How to Remove, and Installation of a Fuel Flap Door Release Cable? I even asked a mechanic and he said it was a nightmare of a job the interior needs to come out remove the wheel etc. Does anyone know how to do this or how it's done? A video would be great. But an idiot's guide would also suffice. Keith.

My lungs and kidneys have already gone lol I'm on life support 😂
