My 2017 XJL 3.0 diesel portfolio with 30k milage full service history, has out of date maps easy fix,,,,NOT apparently my car needs a TCU upgrade that may or may not fix the issue or may compromise the TCU and head unit, cost of upgrade about £250 cost of fixing if it fails and compromises the vehicle £ 0000 and a new or second hand may not work as it maybe out of date, like me to old. So unless someone has a idea or a spare bank account. A Collins road map is the way forward.

Forgot to say i believe it's an external leak, but curios why oil is above the gasket line.

Can the JLR SDD 165 Mongoose access the immobilizer fault codes on my 2005 S Type

I’ve just got a 1998 XK8, on the way home all the instruments stoped working, SPEED, RPM, FUEL, OIL, WATER, AMPS. Non of the back lights on any instruments work. The car starts and drives. So I think there must be a connector that is either come adrift or corroded. Can any one point me in the right direction to where this might be located or any other suggestions? Thanks

Dave thanks for that. I will check behind the trim in the boot for any signs of water ingress shortly.

funktioniert nicht. hat jemand einen Tip

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
