I have a Jaguar XF Portfolio March 2015 2.2d; after 9 years I still love it and hope to keep it for many years to come but my current issue is driving me potty. In heavy rain, after an hour or so of driving, I get a loud audible alarm and a message saying "Parking Aid Unavailable". At this point rear camera and front/rear sensors no longer work. They resume working after a dry spell. So I am thinking a water related issue. I took it to a Jaguar dealer but Sod's Law it was a dry day and the fault was not present although they did find two faults using their diagnostic tool. These did not allow them to identify the actual fault. I have a iCarsoft CR Pro tool and that (when the fault is actually present) gives me the same two errors as per the image below. As these two faults are front and rear sensors power circuit I am thinking water must be getting in to something common to both modules. My questions are: (1) Is my logic sound? (2) If so what is the common cable/connector that water could be getting in and where should I look? I have tried listening to the individual sensors but can't hear or feel anything (some say you should be able to hear the sensor when its active). I am really struggling to find any useful steers in where to look for water ingress as every model/year of XF seems to swap things around. I can do basic mechanic-ing and can use a multimeter. I would appreciate any help at all please.

funktioniert nicht. hat jemand einen Tip

Hi Kevin Can you just clarify. Are you talking about and external oil leak or an internal failure of the the cylinder head gasket? If an external leak it would help to see a photo.... Regards John

hi, sorry to read about the problems, but if yuo had to change discs and pads within 6 minths span, considering you work from home...you are being robbed in day light, sorry to say. way you needed all 4 new wheels? tyres i can understand...all those fixes do not fill me with confidence. look for independent jaguar garage and give them car for a full check and then decide what to do. it wil cost you something, but without jag specialists looking at it, it's a guessing game (as it is so far, by the looks of it).

I’ve driven all over the south of England with it working perfectly. The original radio had a very average sound but now it’s from the phone ( digital I suppose) the sound is 100% clearer. Very surprised tbh.

Hi everyone! Can anyone advise where to start looking for the problem.. The traction control light is flashing.. The fault codes have been read, but no reason was found for that.. IMG_9723.mov

Ref XFS 2018 model, mileage 54,000 MOT advisory "Shock absorbers has light misting of oil Offside Rear (5.3.2.(b) Garage has advised that I should replace both at cost of £1050 parts plus £380 labor plus vat. I'd welcome any suggestions

Cheers Anthony, I have actually met your acquaintance and sent a few folks his way at CAP! N6 JMX

Welcome aboard Matt!

This might help. I just put my XK8 on ebay and put limits on it. Here's my example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/167837175528

Hi Anthony, you have keyless entry and pulling the door handle whilst still having the keys on your person will unlock the door you are pulling on. Try double locking the vehicle - press the lock button twice and have the vehicle chirp to you. Walk away and put the keys at least 2 metres from the car and then walk back to try the door pull again. N6 JMX

I own a 2009 Jaguar XF X250 2.7 V6 (AI-D) and I’m experiencing a strange issue that appears occasionally in the form of vibrations. I’ve noticed that between 40–50 km/h and at low RPMs (especially when going uphill), just before the car needs to downshift, there are quite strong vibrations coming from the rear of the vehicle. The same thing also happens between 70–80 km/h. There are no problems in shifting nor sound from the gearbox, only vibrations from the rear somewhere. I’ve had it checked at Jaguar, but they couldn’t determine the cause of the problem. A workshop has already replaced the center driveshaft without success. Has anyone experienced something similar or have an idea what this could be? Thanks in advance

I would look into having them remanufactured by a hydraulic fitters company. If you sent the eBay lot to them they could work them over. Since you now have a spare set you should look into it.

Did you renew the fuel filter as well?

Very good condition inside and out. Looks fantastic and drives even better.Full service history, main agent with me and previous owner ( friend) . 9 months MOT left on vehicle. ONLY 51,000 miles on the clock. Must sell as House sold and no garage at new house ! £11,995 ONO

Was sorry to miss this

Haha I think I lost mine too! I think anything over £20,000 I would be open to discuss

OK, hopefully I am not breaking any rules here (I know the UK government doesn't allow free speech 🙂 ) I am doing various jobs on my newly acquired S Type R and post on my channel JAGVETTE1 please check it out and if you like it please subscribe I do it for fun not profit, I make mistakes and I show them, I am a mechanic with more years of experience than I care to remember, BUT I know you are NEVER too old to learn. Thanks in advance Gary

OK, thanks for all the responses, you guys are great

The situation has worsened now as if I try to start the car in the morning, it spins over like crazy but won't start. If I then cycle the ignition on and off about 10 times then it will start straight away. My thinking was that perhaps the check valve in the tank fuel pump was leaking back but when I removed the delivery pipe from the pump, it was full and the fuel did not disappear from the outlet stub, indicating no leak-back. In any case, with the ignition on, the pump runs continuously so switching the ignition on/off shouldn't be the cure. This only happened before if I locked the car but now it happens locked or unlocked and depending on the length of time that it has not run determines the number of ignition cycles I have to make. If it is off for an hour then probably only two. I am still leaning towards a faulty immobiliser but would welcome any constructive comments.

forgt to mention, that i have no issues with insurance either, remap or other cosmetic changes. premium didn't rose up even!

Owned my new Jaguar for 3 weeks , wasn't expecting a Jag to be my first car but something just felt right about it! It’s a Jaguar X type 3.0 v6 sovereign edition! If someone could maybe advise how rare these are (if they are in anyway!) and if they are sought after that would be great? As noticed not many for sale and registered , Happy to have joined!
