hi all looking to get power steering for my mk2. any one no of good garages

Hi. I am just wondering if anyone can recommend a garage for maintenance work on my 2006 XKR. I try to avoid the Jaguar dealership, however, I do struggle to find mechanics who have sufficient technical knowledge to carry out repairs. I am based in Beds, so Beds or Bucks area would be ideal. Thanks. Claire

The other thing to ensure is that you are using a reputable, e.g. Duracell / Energizer / etc. key fob battery which has not been purchased from the internet, but a local supermarket or similar. It is not unknown that internet providers are selling defective batteries. You already purchased the battery, but for reference it should be a CR 2032 N6 JMX

Hi Philip, unfortunately there are several "Newlands" spread across the UK so an internet search is unlikely to turn up any specific Jaguar dealership from 1966. However, you may get some clue from the car's original registration number as these were issued by the local county council back in the day. At least it might help you narrow your search. N6 JMX

They are going back to Taiwan. They are not a good fit to either side i.e. the left side, which is without a mirror cover or the right side, which still has the cover. Spyderromeo

Thanks, guys, between you, you have given me more confidence to tackle the Job. I have used the fishing line trick before when we had to create large graphics for our exhibition stands, but we were dealing with freshly applied double-sided tape, not hard 14-year-old tape. As a keen Carp angler, there is no shortage of fishing line in my house. The heat solution had never occurred to me; it just shows that many heads are better than one. I tend to use Nail varnish remover (acetone) as my solvent (any comments). In fact, I use it to remove tar and stubborn labels. I know it's car paint safe, as I have used it on Zero (the car) before Spyderromeo Zero is the car's name, as is its reg, as is my little company.

This site may have them and they have supplied the part numbers also; https://www.duckworthparts.co.uk/jaguar/jaguar-f-type-pair-of-carbon-fibre-mirror-coversjx1522

Very scarce indeed but within this thread is a guy who manufactures replacements; https://forums.jag-lovers.com/t/replacement-for-ac-idler-pulley-bearing-eac3042-pulley-carrier-ebc1091/374604

Hi David, lots of places will sell the aftermarket versions, but finding a decent set of the OEM black centre caps could be more testing. Try places like DCR AutoParts, who are a specialist Jaguar supplier based in Inverness, or one of the specialist Breakers such as Auto Reserve. Both easily located by a search engine, or come back here and I can post links for you. N6 JMX

Thanks a lot for the explanation. I did top up the refrigerant and do full service including pollen filter change at the local jaguar dealership. Still the issue persist. But I suppose its normal then. Thanks gain.

Andy was a Jaguar engineer and set the specs for the engine. However, the wheels made him set the cps to an engine that was run iirc for 24 hours. the bracket puts the cps where it should have been originally. he’s still around if you search for him

Hi Dawud. Wow, that is a LOT of issues! My first thought is if you bought from a dealer, go straight back and start quoting sale of goods act. If it was a private sale I would be looking for an auto-electrican with Jag experience. I did a quick search and based on your profile location you might give these guys a call: https://autotektuning.co.uk/ On the cambelt it is needed ASAP but I would want to make sure the electrics were sorted first before I fork out several hundred for a cambelt change. Good luck John

Thank you Justin...your a star!!

Hi. I have just returned from the states and brought my F type with me. Its a 2014 V8S. There was no need to change the headlights as there's a setting for LHD or RHD by accessing the settings function on the dash. There are instructions in the owners manual. Hope this helps.

Hi John, can you tell me the repairs required underneath please and do you have pics of the car please, thanks Gerry

Hello guys, hope all of you are well. I've just picked up a new (to me) 2012 Jaguar XF X250 Luxury Sportbrake this week. Im liking it so far, however it has a few issues which I would like to ask for assistance/guidance from fellow owners and members. Issues : 1) Radio/audio button is greyed out, there is no sound at all 2) Satnav does not work, just stays on black screen and says initialising 3) Reverse camera does not load either, just stays on black screen. Parking sensors do work though, just not the camera. 4) Bluetooth does not work at all either I have scanned using an Autel AP200, and have attached the report for the fault codes for you guys to take a look at and offer any suggestions. Also, the car has covered 135000 miles, and has never had a Cambelt change. When should I look into doing this? Thanks for taking the time to read my post, I look forward to your responses.

Are your headlamps LED or HID? If neither you could probably get away with non-adaptive (as a general rule of thumb) but i would anticipate lots of error messages and potential MoT (or Spansih equivalent) failures.

Hi Alex I would expect you to be getting DTC codes if you are getting dashboard error messages It is possible you need Jag specific software. Have you checked the Fuel Pump Driver Module? Also I would re-check the need to recode a new fuel pump as Gemini (AI search) suggests it is needed. This might also help if you have not already found it. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Electrical/XFWorkshopManual/Fuel System.pdf Good luck John

Thank you all for your help and advice! I have managed to get into the boot via the ‘secret’ keyhole!

Had a similar problem on a peugot 206cc turned out there was a bearing sitting on top of the strut that had cracked after the previous owner hit a pothole. Think from memory there is a rubber damper on the top of the strut on the jags also

I have just been and collected a multimeter up from tool station. I tested the fuse box where the washer pump fuse goes and sure enough its reading a flat 0 when I press the button on the stalk for the washers. Just as a control I also tested where the fuse goes for the wiper motor which worked perfectly showing 14 something odd volt.

Brilliant thank you.

Hello my speakers on my X Type estate are not working, the small speakers above the main speakers work but not the 4 in the doors I have checked fuses as per handbook and they are all fine. Any suggestions please
