Hi Yoshuey I bought my F type last year after a lot of soul searching and consideration of alternatives like the small Mercedes coupes which don't have the same features or pedigree. For a 6ft plus guy like me, they are also even tighter in the cockpit with even less storage space. The F styling is also far more attractive than the Mercs & BMers and they appear to be in great demand. From my point of view the only disadvantage is that you need a 2nd car for all the routine journeys like shopping , train catching, golf & DIY carriage. Also your garage needs to be long & wide ! Magnificent to drive though, no wonder I use the name Frazzle .

Its a bit blurred but I wonder if it is an OBD cable extension so easier to plug a scanner into the OBD socket rather than scrabbling under the dashboard

You can get them retro fitted (either cameras or sensors) and the cameras nowadays have bluetooth so minimal wiring required

Your post has been moved to Jaguars For Sale/Wanted section of the forums as may attract more attention there

Hi If you google it you need a special electronic control unit for adding trailer sockets on these as all the rear light outputs to the lights have a permanent positive feed to one side of the bulb and the rear body module switches the earth to bring the light on. your trailer will be completely opposite, hence the need for the module, also too much load on the body module outputs could pop the rear body module something like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152266585006 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280904208860 cheers Joe

Just purchased a 2007 Jaguar XK convertible with 69000 miles on her. Silver with a cream interior, almost perfect condition, always maintained and garaged. Only thing I don't like is has aftermarket chrome wheels which I would prefer stock wheels.

Hi Jason, one of the companies I am aware of is Cartronics - see link below. I have not used them as they are a bit far from me - but I know others in the XKCC have got their Android Auto system installed to a late model XKR. https://www.cartronics.co.uk/ I think the installation cost is somewhere around £1,400, pricey but a long term modern solution. If I were closer to them I would certainly give it a go. There is also a version from Mr12Volt, but I only know of that being installed to a 2009 model - the 4.2 engined models have a slightly easier installation procedure without the fibre optic involvement. Good luck with your choices - might like to consider joining the XKCC, only £10 per year and a car club specifically for XK enthusiasts. They have an event being planned to attend a gathering at Oulton Park in Cheshire in August, celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the X-100 and 20th Anniversary of the X-150 models. Jointly organised by JDHT and MSV, they are looking to get up to 1,000 XK on the track for a parade. See the XKCC at this link below: XKCC | Modern XK Club N6 JMX

Hi easier just to buy a used rear view mirror and just replace it door mirrors are the same boot leak is usually across the top of the rear lights, there a rubber trim thats pushes in that never seals, most people remove it clean it and refit them with some silicone sealant, which usually cures it cheers Joe

Hi There companies that repair them really cheap on ebay send it to them and they fix them, they send them back and should work straight away this way you dont need them coding to the car with software, like you would if you bought new ones if they dont work after a battery change theres a fault with the remote cheers Joe

Hi Are you sure there switch on on some s-type you can turn the front sensors off on the overhead console otherwise get it plugged in to Jaguar ids/sdd and it will tell you whats up with them cheers Joe

Hi There is a separate module for the for the remotes, sure its in the armrest area the remotes are quite cheap new on ebay, would get a new pair if your getting them programmed worth mentioning you need a least 2 keys or 2 remotes for it to work, if one remote fails, neither remote will work cheers Joe also have a look here for manuals and wiring diagrams http://www.jagrepair.com/

I need a replacement colour coded if possible passenger door handle cover (that covers Key slot please any suggestions

Jaguar 2.7 diesel injector leak off pipes are leaking. What do I need to remove to replace. It's the rear injector on the near side. I have the correct assembly. Can you please advise. It's a lovely car and drives very well with no engine performance issues.

This is from an old post on Jag-lovers.com: I got the !Removed! thing out of the player leaving both the player, the CD’s and the cartridge intact and undamaged. I did a lot of reading in the archives and found a bunch of ‘‘methods’’ to extract a stuck cartridge. All were based on the fact that all the CD trays were retracted into the cartridge. Mine would not retract the last played CD/tray back into the cartridge so all of those methods failed. Here is what I came up with. On the bottom of the cartridge is a hooked slot. That slot matches up with a plastic hooked lever in the player. I inserted a thin mylar strip in between the cartridge and that hook so the cartridge was only now restrained by the tray that was extended out to the side. With the player plugged into the car so it was playing a disc (number 6) I changed it to playing another disc (number 1). The shuffle mechanism retracted the playing disc/tray and before it could push out the new disc/tray the cartridge ejected and my screen said ‘‘no magazine’’. Sure enough when I walked to the back there it was sticking out of the player. Still don’t know why it would not normally eject but at least I now know how to get the old one out. I suspect heat may have been a factor as it has been insufferably hot here for nearly three weeks now and they expect another 1-2 weeks more!!! Going to look it over and lube up some sliding moving parts and see what happens.– Good luck John

DAB radio signal is intermittent, lots of no reception messages. Any ideas anyone ?

Apparently yes. They are an independent garage with a Jaguar Trained Technician. It is going in again for a more in depth fault finding.

Hi All, is anyone interested in a 1985 XJ 4.2 Saloon, currently been in storage for approx 15 years. Not sure if it a a runner or not but car is all there etc. I can supply photo’s if anyone shows interest and can arrange viewing if required. Please contact me directly and we can discuss. Open to reasonable offers

Hi Kevin, better to list the For Sale car in the Classifieds section at the bottom of the Forum pages. Include at least a couple of photos and also list it with a price so people know what you are looking for. N6 JMX

It's fair to say that Jaguar Cars are not supporting the heritage cars any longer, but Jaguar Classic are picking up the slack, so we do anticipate an increased spares availability going forward. In addition, there are a significant number of good after market suppliers working on spares availability, including the likes of SNG Barrett, Swallows, DCR, etc. Plus there are specialist Breakers for Jaguar cars around too. Also bear in mind that not everything on the cars were manufactured by Jaguar, lots of little companies provided parts to be built into the vehicles. Module repairs are also becoming a thing, with several known repair factors around the country, mainly in the Midlands and south of the country. If you overthink the future viability of any classic car, you will not be buying anything. If you are concerned at all, then you may wish to rethink your classic car ambitions. N6 JMX

I have the same warning on my car...had a JLR specialist look at it and the problem is the airbag under the bonnet..it's being repaired next week.
