Washer pump not working, it only getting 4 V and my front driver side front lamp not working, took it to my local garage two days later they said go and find a Jag specialist, I live in Derbyshire. I could do with some good advice?

Hi Ross, good progress. Your photos are too much of a close-up. Need a wider area shot to get better context. Hard to pinpoint the area you are talking about from the detail shots. N6 JMX

For the money buy a 2000 laptop and IDS software. Then do the programming yourself.

Hello. I'm from Lithuania. So I apologize, because I write a lot with google translate. We bought a Jaguar xf, 2009, 3.0 petrol. 175kW. Everything was great for 6 months, but recently there has been a problem that it throws out of gear. When starting to move in "R" for about 1 meter, "P" switches on with a crack. The selector indicator remains "R", only it flashes. Then you need to switch to "N" or "P" to be able to move. If you start from "D", also after moving a little, "D" starts flashing and you find yourself in "N". The revs can be raised, but the car stands still. This is not an everyday problem, sometimes we can drive without problems for a whole week, and sometimes I can't move from the yard. I have scanned errors with LAUNCH and got the code U0405-8f invalid data received from speed control module. I checked the abs sensors and I sometimes get all these problems while standing. I'll explain, I start the car, turn on "R" and don't move anywhere, after 15-20 seconds with a click "R" flashes, and it feels like the box has switched to "P" Thanks for your thoughts, guesses and advice. Forgive me if any of the expressions are incorrect. Age is no longer the same as learning :)

REGISTRATION IS SD62UTE, private plate has now been removed. For sale is my 2012 Jaguar XJ 3.0 Supercharged petrol Portfolio. It's been superbly looked after and is an exceptional example. The rare supercharged ULEZ/CAZ compliant engine provides a brilliant combination of performance and economy. The car is one of the best colour combinations; British Racing Green with Ivory and grey piped leather interior. Being a Portfolio it's a fantastic spec with heated and cooled seats both front and rear, Meridian Surround sound system, panoramic moon roof, 20 inch alloys, adaptive Xenon headlights, suede headliner, dual view TV in the front, digital dashboard, rear reverse camera and 4 way climate control. I have owned the car for 18 months and am only selling due to increased work mileage. The car has been meticulously maintained with full main dealer and specialist history, and in the last 12 months I have spent over 5,000 ensuring it wants for nothing, including: Air suspension compressor Full discs and pads all round Water pump and Y-pipe (known weakness on these engines - now done for peace of mind) New caster arm bushes Two new rear tyres Major service in May 2025 Car is in fantastic condition inside and out, with just one nick in the rear passenger side wheel which I've pictured. £9,495

hello Jim, It is just the satnav and all 3 garages have played around endlessly with the disc player, to no avail. I like the idea of hooking up my Android 'phone to get Maps etc, so I will check out Cartonics etc. Thanks for your advice, I'll let you know how I get on.

Yes, new one fixed all issues thanks

Hi Jason, as far as I know, all of the original functionality remains with the Cartronics set up, uses the existing display screen just adds additional capability. If you have now joined the XKCC, the website has a couple of reviews of both Cartronics and Mr 12 Volt systems, check them out. On the tyres question on your other post: Dunlop and Pirelli are the "development" tyre brand for the XKR and you are correct in wanting to ditch the Continentals, never been happy with cars with those fitted. Plus, any tyre over 5 years old these days is suspect on something with +500 BHP. N6 JMX

Hi Jason For me as long as the Continentals are as good as you indicate (check the sidewalls for any cracking / damage) as long as they are not too old I would leave them there and save the £950 for those inevitable bills. The tyre age is stamped into the sidewall as 4 digits. First 2 digits give the week number and final 2 digits the year, so 4018 would be week 40 of 2018. Enjoy your new toy. John

Hi All, I just wanted to say thanks for all your comments, they’ve been very helpful. Thanks, Nigel

Well here we are February 26, and the car is fixed, After being at 3 garages, a new alternator and a new battery and fuel sensor's ! turns out when they removed ECM as they think it faulty. Below there was a corroded wire rubbing on the body work,, striped and replaced. Cars back,, Thanks to, “in car tunes “Seaton Delaval, just took him 3hr

I have reluctantly sold my XJL, sad to see it go but common sense prevailed and the world is full of cars looking for a new home. So for the time being I am not a Jaguar Owner….. but watch this space !

Yep, tried three. Two said buy from us and the third gave me three possibilities. I found a great dealership in Enfield who sorted me out. Thanks for helping out

if i was gonna steal then i'm gonna need an Mark II like in the 60's

Stunning. Good luck with the sale Phil.

The spanner mod worked fine and my $13 oil pressure sender does as well with no leaks

Thank you. Mechanic found a leak way back by the windshield (that’s my take on what he described) & has repaired it. Thank you for your response!

Hi thanks for getting back so quick . Yeah the alternator was an approved jaguar one, the battery is showing about 12.8 when the engine is off and 14.4 when running so that is within the parameters. The rear bcm module ( fusebox) was replaced with a genuine brand new jaguar one and reprogrammed as the one that was in it had dragged due to water ingress so the car the car is no longer showing low voltage that has gone as have all the fault codes that were related to it when you run diagnostics. The warning is now "check pedestrian system" which has confused me somewhat as that was not there before

Thanks Steve, It is very useful but the guy who built them before I bought the house used to build MGBs.... which are considerably shorter than most Cars so to fit the XK in I have use wheel skates and sit it at 45 degrees. Glad it is the width it is otherwise it would be useless 😁.

Ah...that makes sense. Much appreciated 😊👍
