Thanks...have now fixed with another new battery & slightly bending contacts to align.

Hi guys Got the same issue, need a rear crash bar, Anyone with a spare or recommend an alternative solution? Any good welders? In the manchester area. Thanks

Quick update: Cleaning the plug and socket didn't work, it looks like there is damage on the BCM board. Thankfully there is a Jag specialist with an electronics Wizz nearby so I'm going to whip the bcm out over the weekend and take it down there. They said it should be plug and play once they've re-pinned it but they want me to bring the car down after so they can re-pin the plug as well. I should know in about a week if it's worked or not. If not I'm guessing I'll have to fork out for a new bcm and programming from JLR main dealer. Alex

Have you "told" the car it has a new battery? The car's brain needs to be informed that there is a new battery fitted so it adjusts the charging rates from the alternator. Use either a decent code reader, or a friendly local garage with the appropriate diagnostic equipment. Alternatively, may be something more insidious in the ECU or wiring. N6 JMX

OK, I know these code/problems are covered in this wonderful forum, BUT I wonder what is the most common problem and can you guys give me a head start to solving them ? Transmission problems Code P0706 and P0730 Do note, I have 167,000 miles on the car I have just replaced the solenoid block/filter and fluid (the faults were there before) Emissions code P0430 dat damn Cadillac (many Americans I have met call it that) cunvorter error, OR just an oxygen sensor ? Any help to shortcut fixing these errors would be gratefully received. Gary

hi jim thank you for getting back to me . i will contact them thanks agin allan

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

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.

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

Hi Nanak https://www.vehiclerevolution.com/products/jaguar-xf-xfr-xfrs-rear-diffuser-black-abs-plastic-2008-2015 or think you need both of the below..... https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-C2Z16212--SelectedCurrency-1 https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-C2Z16211 Regards John
