Hello John, Battery full, turns over rapidly with easystart it will fire but not run. It seems that the injectors are not being activated

I think you may be right there - especially in America where the Jaguar brand adoration is huge. It makes me wonder if they bowed out (disgracefully) to avoid having to enter the EV race with no actual intention of producing such models knowing that the outcome would be negatively received (especially in the US market who love their huge V8 engines). If that is the case then it was a very wise move on their behalf - watch everyone go down that path and fail then re-enter the market with a much better solution?

A truly reluctant sale of my fantastic Jaguar XF 3.0 V6 Diesel Sport. Please read the full description carefully. This is an honest listing for what I believe is a very special car, and I want it to go to a real enthusiast who can give it the attention it deserves. The private plate shown in some photos is NOT included in the sale. The car will be sold with its original registration: OE59 XOK. Why is this car special? This is the highly sought-after 3.0-litre V6 Diesel Sport model, which offers a brilliant combination of power and performance that the smaller 2.0-litre versions can't match. Finding one of these in black is genuinely difficult. When I was looking, I saw many in silver or grey, but black models were rare and commanded a significantly higher price. For an enthusiast, this represents a fantastic opportunity to own a top-specification model in the best colour combination. My Story with the Car I have owned this Jaguar for three years, having paid around £5,500 for it. It has been an absolutely superb car, and I really do not want to be selling it. Most of the miles I added were gentle motorway miles as I lived far out in the countryside. The only minor issue when I bought it was some taped wiring in the boot, which is a common XF quirk which I fixed easily enough. I would much rather keep it. However, my circumstances have now changed. I am not returning to the UK for the foreseeable future, and my sister, who has been kindly storing the car for me, is now moving house in 1 week!. This means, very reluctantly, the car must find a new home. The Condition & The Project This is a project car, but it's starting from a fantastic base. The Good: The engine is absolutely perfect. It starts instantly from cold (I have a video I can send) and runs smoothly and powerfully. The gearbox is seamless. It passed its MOT just before I left the country. It has not been driven since, other than to start it regularly. It had new brakes fitted just before it was put into storage. he Work Required: The car's MOT expired around 10 months ago. It is currently declared SORN (off the road) and is not taxed. As shown in the photos, there is a heavy dent on one of the doors. This will require either a skilled panel repair or a replacement door. A new window motor and a light unit are waiting in the boot to be fitted. The car is sold with one key to start and an additional boot key. I have a full video I can send of it working fully, showing and explaining the niggles and the dent with complete transparency. Important Information Unless you know of a loop hole in that you can put tax on a car, get one day insurance and book your MOT that day, then the car drives away to anywhere you want perfectly but to my knowledge you can't tax a car with an MOT. Therefore due to having no MOT or tax, the car cannot be driven away. It must be collected from my sister's address in Moreton, Wirral, UK. using a trailer or a vehicle recovery service. This is a genuine and regrettable sale. If you're an enthusiast looking for a rare, high-spec project with a superb engine, this is your chance. With the bodywork sorted and a new MOT, you will have a truly stunning Jaguar that is worth significantly more than the price of entry. Please feel free to ask any questions to [email protected]

Sold the XF and moved on to an Evoque, hence the reason I've not been around here for a while. I do have two part worn tyres for sale, obviously now surplus to requirements. Listed on ebay here (245/40 ZR19 98Y Pirelli P-Zero Part worn Tyre, 5-6mm tread) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/317305208359 and here: (245/40 ZR19 98Y FALKEN FK520 Azenis Part worn Tyre 5-6mm tread) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/317305217833 For what it's worth I found the Falken handling and grip to be very impressive, on a par with the Pirelli when I had to swap two of the P-Zeros out. £45 each for members only, COD, Blackpool area, collect or will deliver within 20 mile radius of Blackpool (so Fylde, Wyre, Preston basically) Easily worth this so no further offers please. Thanks. Note, also have a carbon fibre boot spoiler in excellent condition, haven't thought about pricing/listing this yet, but cost me £180.

I have a water leak coming from the back of the engine , my local garage says it’s an engine out job , any thoughts ? It’s an 08 2.7 luxury

Hello everyone I am new here and just wanted some advise my son brought his car to do up as if Had the ENF on the reg and I am from Enfield it was an mot failure because of the sills the engine is fine and it ran he put a new alternator on it and it wouldn't stay on but still started. Anyway he is moving to Aus and i need to sell it or break it, where is the best place to do this please or do you guys know anyone that wants a project. We ran it for a while running to the pub and back as it looked and sounded fantastic but it needs someone who has the time and space to do it really. Thanks for your help in advance.

Thank you for your replies, both helpful and appreciated. Is this what I'm after ? Beyond fault monitoring and seat module calibrating, what else can it do (or is that a silly question) Thanks again

Hello Sorry I have only just seen your post. Have you checked the switches. I had a similar problem I bought three seat units and it still wouldn’t work. I decided to have the switches looked at and they found a rusted connection. I think I still have a seat module somewhere. If you have the serial number of yours I will check it. Andy

N6 jmx Thank you for your help, the main rear light is my problem, I’m sorry I didn’t make that clear. I forgot the light on the boot that joins with rear light when shut. I have seen inside a rear light on YouTube and they are individual led’s soldered to a different thin circuit plate. They can be removed individually. If I can’t get details of the correct led I will have to open the light I think. Once again thank you for taking the time to help. Andy

Hi Alan, unfortunate damage to your sump, but becoming more prevalent as our roads network continues to deteriorate - and its only going to be getting worse. For a suitable replacement engine, speak to the good folks at Auto Reserve or Eurojag, easily found by an online search, but if you have trouble finding them, come back here for more help. N6 JMX

Hi Lez, I agree with John above. My own Jaguar has been under warranty from new - Jaguar extended - and it is definitely a "peace of mind" thing. I reckon had I followed John's advice, I would be quid's in by now, but once you are in the warranty cycle, it is very difficult to step off it. N6 JMX

@Mr Singh Yes, I think you would need to change the CCF to enable the heated steering wheel. There seems to be a PARAM_CCF_STEERING_WHEEL_HEATED in the CCF and PARAM_CCF_EUCD_HEATED_STEERING_WHEEL in the EUCD CCF that would probably need enabling.

Hi If its fuel related it might not cause any fault codes Have you changed the fuel filter and checked the gasket on the cover, possible cause

Hello. I am new to Jaguar and this club, living in North Hampshire. I have a 2017 XF 2.0 D, Recently need timing chain replacement including upgrade to prevent a recurrence. Fortunately covered by dealer warranty. Prior to negotiating the repair I funded a test £200 + vat) on a main dealer rig to know for sure if new chain was needed. Result was clear. Engine now sounds better and seems a bit more responsive. Sorry this may not be of any real help to you, but the failed test result came with dire warnings of possible outcomes if the job was not done. I expect you are aware of these. All the Best and Regards, Brian C

Hi Daniel, I have a 3.0 sovereign X type and I think good ones are getting quite hard to get hold of .Mine has the manual gearbox which makes it fun and quite fast to drive if the urge should strike. (Not that the need for speed hits me very often !).Lovely cars, welcome aboard.😀

Hi cheapest place for CATS dampers is usually Moss Europe. you could swap them, but obviously you will lose the active damping, also you will get regular cats damping faults on you dash and warning light, also when they go into fault, the dampers default to hard, so your new normal fronts ones will be usually medium to soft ride and the rear shocks will be stuck in hard, so you would have to replace all 4 shocks, then ideally need the cats coded out with software, or you could connect resistors to the connector at the top of the shock to fool it to think there still connected, this also may effect how the car handles. if you need any workshop manuals look here http://www.jagrepair.com/ cheers Joe

I need a new rear left hand wing, part number FNC3321AA. If anyone is sitting on two new front wings I might also be interested. Thanks, Alek

I found a great guy today and sorted all but the front chrome trim. The car should be in the bodyshop soon 😀

Press the lock/arm button on the fob rapidly about 6-10 times. Also if you have a spare key, check whether it will start with that, it's not unknown for a key with an RFID chip inside for the immobiliser to "lose" it's code and cease to operate the immobiliser disarm. Are you able to read the DTCs at all?

I came across Suffolk Sportscars (as i think they were called then) some 35 years ago when their range was just the one model, think it was a D Type replica or similar. First time i've seen one of their SS100 models and first knowledge i had of that model reincarnation. Beautiful to see and learn of its existence though.
