Having worked most of my life in electrical/electronic engineering, I can confirm there is nothing more frustrating than having to write on the job sheet "NFFAT" - No Fault Found At Test. Over the decades ive had many "Intermittently Intermittent" faults as i call them. Sometimes it's has been a long and extremely annoying process to find the fault and often when i do, i find it's a "Compound Intermittent Fault" - one where two or more problems contribute to not only the intermittent fault but the overall intermittency of it occurring in the first place. I wish you and your autoelectrician luck with finding it, you may have to lose this battle to win the war and come to an arrangement with him whereby he comes to you when it faults to investigate. This isn't just a "Jag thing", it happens to all makes and some are much worse than others! 'Tis the nature of the beast with electrical/electronic systems sadly.

Hi Syd. When my camera / sensors failed it came up as offside front sensor, but was actually the front bumper wiring loom with the issue feeding that sensor. Do you have any codes? These are pretty vital to help sort issues otherwise you end up "throwing" solutions at the problem hoping that one will eventually sort it. The camera and sensors work as a whole so if a sensor is not reading correctly, the whole system shuts down to let you know you are on your own. I think the tailgate loom switch only works when it is just the camera which is not working. My guess would be the camera and radio are probably unrelated. Good lluck John

my XF in a nice wooded are on the day i bought it. Then at home after fitting a chin splitter. She looks mean.

Thanks for advice.

Hi Paul Given those tyres are likely to be north of £600 per corner (when you can get them!), unless you are desperate to keep the original wheels I would be looking to replace with a set of 15" or 16" alloys which will probably cost a lot less that the R390s. https://iconicalloys.co.uk/ https://www.imagewheels.co.uk/ Good luck John

Almost certainly the fob buttons are worn. They can be replaced by an eBay kit and swapped with some soldering. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172182298119

Does the removal of Gerry McGovern, the architect of the woke advert and rebranding, have any deeper meaning in the future of JLR? He is the JLR Executive that stood on the podium (almost 1 year ago) at the unveiling of the Type 00 and stated that Jaguar was not interested in its heritage customers! This did create a bit of outrage at the time, but was shushed over by others in support of the woke approach. Coincidental that the new CEO - from the Tata parent group, replacing Mardell, has only just taken full control of the company when McGovern departure is announced? N6 JMX

Wardy, I found it was the relay in the engine fuse box that wasn't properly pushed in. It fired up straight away after I did this! Tim

Thanks

I'm assuming when you say "bearing" you actually mean the plastic bushes in the linkage? If so, try this : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146139281240 I bought a similar kit for my Honda CR-V some 2-3 years ago and it's working as well now as it did when i fitted it after a similar game to yours of replacing the entire linkage and motor assembly only to find it came from a Japanese (instead of Swindon like mine) built CR-V so had some wiring problems. Glad you mentioned this as mine is starting to wear on my '99 S Type so i had to search for the part you need and the part i need! With absolutely no sarcasm intended, thanks for having this problem! It's what the forum is all about - one person has a problem without an immediate solution but someone, somewhere has and has the easy solution.

Many thanks for the suggestion but doing this is beyond my own skill level! I will let a Jaguar mechanic have a go. Dennis G

Hi Colin, you indicate your problem is with the X-150 model, but your profile descripting infers you have the X-100 model from 2001, need to clarify which model you have the issue with. Before you changed the battery, did you have any need to jump start the car? If yes, then you may have fried the video screen that is the display in the X-150 model. N6 JMX

Sounds like time to check the alternator. N6 JMX

Thanks for your help, Jim!

Hi, I am shortly having to change Alternator on 2.2 X type Diesel 2005. Looks as if AC pump etc will have to be removed to get at alternator top bolts. My AC does not work ( pulley clutch broke when I bought it) but that had been no bother and I have no need for AC. Anyobe taken it off completely ? Then obviously needs a shorter axillary belt - anyone done this and if so what belt did theu find to fit ?

Great thank you

Sealed up a leaking rhs tail light. Decided to do the lhs while I was there. Very easy to take out and put back. Will go an aftermarket upgrade for the rear view mirror fix. Cheers.

Thank you

Look at the SNG Barrett website for a good alternator at sensible prices. N6 JMX

You're welcome, good luck with whatever you go for.

Finally solved map upgrade issues. Jaguar where excellent 🏆Lloyds jaguar Houghton le spring did themselves proud with a little backwards and forward. Dropped of car 8 courtesy car, washed, hoovered returned by 4 . TCU &IMC update. Now my car is talking and I can update maps and live coverage. Cost was bearable, experience sometimes frustrating but a positive outcome

Dark blue, oatmeal interior. 67,ooo miles. Very nice condition. I have owned for two and a half years, doing approx 6k miles a year. It is a very good car for £8,000.

John, Thanks for your response and advice. I shall give it a try! Mike

Very confused ? How did you manage to buy a new I-Pace in June 2025, as dealers, we had to register every new Jaguar we had by the end of October 2024. Every new Jaguar includes 3 years roadside assist anyway (which is administered by the AA) as part of the manufacturers warranty package.

Hi thanks for that it has given me a guide line
