Good afternoon and thank you again, for your help with this. I will give it a go and keep my fingers crossed. Failing that I will try and find a garage as you say. I will keep you posted. Regards Brian.

I have inherited my husbands XK auto sports. It’s a beautiful car , gold with cream interior. 50,000 miles only with a full service history and recent service and MOT. I have two other cars and would like to sell it . Can you help me with advice on how much I should ask and how to do so?

oops 😉 haven't seen alarm off procedure myself, would be interesting to see.

Unworthy

Hi Roy, welcome to the wonderful world of Jaguar motoring. Be sure to post a few photos when you can. N6 JMX

This is a known but not common issue. The hood can be resealed, after suitable cleaning of the old adhesive with Welcon surface cleaner, by using a glue called Teromix 6700. N6 JMX

At last my xj350 is now out of Valet mode and security shutdown and is up and running beautifully again. I no longer need a laptop with sdd V130.

every thing seems tight; can't figure out where its coming from: driving me crazy! any ideas??? ; ;

Welcome to the forum 👍

hi front lights and front indicators not working no lights on the dash and no warning on dash no main beam no interior lights the boot release button also not working can anyone help me what to look at thank you

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll get on it! I've seen a lot of info about SDD, sounds like i'll be investing. Genuinely though, if it takes getting someone over then I'll do it. The car is too pretty for it to be left not running!

hey, i've seen somehwere someone had same issue, but xf if memory serves right. he removed front seat completely to make more space, undid door card screws, popped it all around hen just wiggled door card out. not sure if it's possible on x type, but food for thought. let us know how you get on

obviously LoL

As this post is now three years old, I assume these are long gone?

If memory serves, the locking nuts have a removable sleeve to allow the "key" to fit in the end of the nut. As such, the locking nut doesn't have the same tight fitting sleeve, just a relatively loose one. Funny (ish) story, i removed all 4 locking nuts on mine prior to replacing the tyres. In between removing each wheel and fitting a new tyre then refitting and then going to replace the locking nuts, i managed to lose the "key". That decided me, they'd be replaced with normal nuts. By strange coincidence, after fitting replacement wheels to my Honda, i lost the locking nut "key" and had to buy a locking wheel nut remover kit. Done one so far but the rest won't be long, been hoping the key would turn up............

Hello, I have exactly the same fault on mine, did either of you manage to solve this? Thanks, Pete.

If you have two things not working at the rear, then it’s very likely the electrical cables where they enter the tailgate at the top right. These go through a lot of movement with opening and closing of the tailgate - and it’s not abnormal for them to break at this point.

Hi Gavin I don't know if you have fixed this in the last month but it was part of the IOS upgrade that caused similar problems across many brands and cars. Apple have since run another upgrade that solved the issue.

What a load of rubbish, it's a stop start button, you don't put the key in the ignition, it's a fob.
