Regarding the SDD, I have one but although it finds my VIN and all the checks are green, when it tries to run the scan it reads the first 2 modules and then stalls at 13%. after about 5 minutes of trying it gives a notice that it is unable to retrieve the data. I can't figure out what the problem is.

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 😀

Hi Lez, you could try these people : https://www.warrantywise.co.uk/car-warranty/?utm_adgroup=used car warranty - exact&msclkid=8f613d35c856159b35e35438d16a7938&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Used Car Warranty - Exact Match&utm_term=Used Car Warranty&utm_content=Used Car Warranty - Exact There are other companies around that do similar where you can buy a warranty for a used car you've recently bought, good luck with it!

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?

Hi everyone, driving down the motorway today my EML came on. Car is 2.0D 2017 125000 miles booked in to Halfords next to work to at least diagnose as no other symptoms and they read the following codes: p2BAE-00 NOx Exceedance P25A9-13 piston Cooling oil circuit/open P049B-00 Exhaust Gas recirculation like I say no other symptoms. Had a google of these and a few different things come up as expected. Not clear which one triggered the EML but seeing things from Ad-Blue sensor mucky or failing piston solonoid failing or more onerous the timing chain is loose and cause this error. I know Inginium engines have timing chain issues so one to monitor but don’t have a low oil warning or any issues with oil level? The garage reset the codes and they didn’t come back on but I’ve bought a carissa monitor so can at least monitor what comes back up more readily. Also bought some wynns fuel and ad blue cleaning incase it is just mucky sensors. Any advice on what to check or keep an eye out for? Like I say 125000k miles so wondering if I should be looking at timing chain replacement regardless 🤔

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.

thank you i have nothing not even a click when i try to operate the roof, it was working fine as were the blinds before it went to workshop, they asked if it was working i said yes but never tested it till i was home, he had an obd reader on it and said no roof module detected, i assumed he had re programmed it, the garage is 2 hours away or i would take it back, i will check the plug on the fan to see it it is loose or indeed not plugged in and let you know again thanks for the suggestions

I thought an update may be in order. I took the "dodgy" risk of not locking the car whilst it was on the boat, it I believed worked, we sailed through the remnants of Storm Bernard it was a bit (ok very!) bumpy and the old girl fired up when we got to port. On return I could hear a lot of alarms going of, though not ours. Yipee Thanks for all the suggestions

Thanks for the reply I have already mentioned the battery a few times to the garage I bought it from. The car is going back to Jag on Monday fingers crossed Jag can sort it....

Hi All, New to the forum, so please let me know if this isn’t the right place to post. I own a 2012 Jaguar XKR 5.0 SC (X150) which has developed an intermittent starting issue. When I go through the normal starting procedure, I get a single click but no crank from the starter motor. Naturally, this appears to not be receiving the voltage needed to crank. Please Note: I’ve already replaced the battery, and spent quite a bit of time and money diagnosing this problem with various garages (including some JLR specialists), but so far, no luck. The following parts have just been replaced with OEM parts from JLR (thankfully most under warranty). Parts replaced over the past couple of months: Battery (Yuasa) Starter motor (OEM) Battery negative terminal loom (OEM) Charged battery to full on CTEK charger, and issue persists even with a full battery or jump pack. Originally, the fault threw up DTC codes related to the camshaft position sensors (both banks), but I’ve since been told that’s a false flag caused by low voltage during cranking. My readings show 12.6V at the rear battery, but only around 11.3V reaching the front — clearly indicating voltage drop somewhere along the line. I’m now troubleshooting this myself on the driveway. The warranty company were great and covered most of the above work, but as the policy has expired (and can’t be renewed with an ongoing fault), I’m on my own for the next steps. Interestingly, this weekend I've spotted a small amount of water ingress, in the right-hand side boot where the FM antenna booster module (C2P2761) sits. I've removed the module and the car has started perfectly a couple of times. This is unusual given recent months, but certainly welcome! Has anyone experienced this issue before or can point me in the right direction on what to check next? - One area of focus now is the earth straps... However, I cannot find an easy to follow diagram of where the main earth straps are on the car. I have spoken with JLR parts locally, and C2C8864 - Jaguar Earth strap is no longer available. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Mick

Friendly local Timpsons?

What i did was got some 5mm thick angle aluminium, drilled some holes in the right place and fitted nutserts in. Then using some penny washers through the remains of the crash bar, bolted the aluminium to it. Then (i'd previously drilled holes and nutserts for the exhaust hanger) i bolted the hanger to it. Nobody would ever know and Mr MoT man gave a nod of approval.

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

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

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
