  1. Today
  2. Hi all, Steve here, just joined and hoping to get some feedback regarding a bit of a mystery. I am doing a refurb of the front suspension on my XKR X100, 2002MY. I have the upper wishbone fulcrum bolt out and to my surprise it has a larger diametre at the bolt end... Never seen that before. The diametre is the same as the diametre of the inner sleeve of the new bushing, but the existing bushing's sleeve fits over it... So the two upper bushings have different diametres. Everything I have read states they are same bush front and rear. Any ideas?? I am guessing (and it really is a guess) that once upon a time an inner sleeve got fused to the fulcrum and instead of replacing the fulcrum a suitable bush was sourced. Anyways, I guess I have to either purchase a new fulcrum bolt or put this one on a lath and turn it to the correct diametre. What do you chaps think? Any input appreciated!
  3. so that means probably max 300 at jag indy
  4. Hello All, thanks for letting me join the club. Can anyone advise on the following problem. The bonding holding the rear window to the soft top on my Jag XK has failed causing the window to fall inwards. I guess it must be caused by the intense heat over the last couple of weeks. Also, it is a 2008 model. Can anyone recommend a ‘specialist’ in the Hertfordshire/Cambridgeshire/Bedfordshire area that could fix it, please? My local garage can’t help me. Thanks
  5. Yesterday
  6. Jlr online manual if you haven't got one with the car
  7. My car has the same problem. Misfire on the front cylinder bank. Its had new plugs, coils, fuel pump and injectors. Did you figure out a solution?
  8. So having had this issue I believe I have found the primary cause when its the throttle body (TB) and more importantly how to fix it at very little cost. See this thread on the UK F-Pace Forum. https://www.fpaceforums.co.uk/threads/sticky-throttle-body-fix-p0234.8166/?post_id=90121#post-90121 I'll keep it up dated, but please feel free to distribute the news to any TDV6 or SDV6 forums. Ford designed this engine, but it was/is used by others, such as Land Rover, Range Rover, Jaguar, Citroen, Peugeot & some other's I believe.
  9. not sure such places still exist...
  10. completetly different cars...EV vs diesel - personally would go for xf 3.0d...much more refined than 2.0. depending what year make we talking about in terms of 2.0 ingenium diesel. after 2019 there were design changes to it and they are more reliable than in 2016-2018 models
  11. Last week
  12. Bought a 2000 XK8. Broken timing chain. Knew valves were bent. Replaced them all. Reassembled motor. Ready to install the cams and took my new tool from my kit and pulled the crankshaft positioning sensor. Put the tool in and turned the crankshaft to line it up. The tool never caught. It bottomed out in the hole. It does not appear to be long enough to fit in a hole in the flywheel. is there a piece that fell 0ff the flywheel. ? Or is my tool too short?
  13. I am downsizing my collection of Jaguar books and have an original Service Manual for E type 3.8 and the supplement for the 4.2. It is an original copy complete with the mechanics !Removed! burn on the spine. I am currently in France but will be over to the UK in August. Contact me if you're interested. Ken
  14. is there an alternative system that will play cd thru car speakers that previously played thru radio with cassette adapter (connected to portable cd player)
  15. A big welcome--- Roland 😀
  16. Hello Rolland, I don't believe there is any programming. I just swapped them over Graeme
  17. The anti tamper box can be taken off with a T handle torx key through the gap in the bumper then use a hooked piece of steel rod through the front grill , I only found this out AFTER I tool my grill off 😠
  18. Hi All, I have a Jaguar XF SV8, 4.2V8 Supercharged, from (2008, production January). I believe it is X250 generation. Could someone please advise if this model has any specific procedure when disconnecting and reconnecting the battery? I have read various posts where owners had catastrophic results after such a procedure Do these cars have any radio code after the battery is disconnected? Thank you for your help 😁
  19. try Eurojag.ltd - i've sourced tiny trim piece earlier in the year from them
  20. Hi, I am a new member and proud owner of a 2009 xj Sovereign Jag (2.7 TDVI) I have a long standing electrical fault which effects the windows, overtaking wing mirrors, release of parking brake and door locking. Drivers window will only go down in 50mm intervals and you have to pull the button up 8 times to start it moving up again. All very strange! I think the issues are linked maybe to the door module, but having replaced the one in the driver's door, the problems remain. I was wondering if anyone has had similar issues, in the hope that you might help me get closer to a solution.
  21. Hi there, thanks for taking the time to get back to me, I really appreciate it. At various points during this process I gave tried another seat pressure pad, and also the control module that it is connected to under the seat, and still getting an error code. I have even replaced the SRS module under the centre console and still have the light? Is there any way to check the pressure module is in good woking order or faulty? It is a complete mystery.
  22. Im looking to purchase a 1993 4.0 Sovereign with 63000 miles. What are the things i should look out for, it is a two owner car in the same family and in very good condition. Any help would be appreciated thanks
