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. 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.

2003 Jaguar S type 2.5 V6 Jaguar Racing Green 106,000 miles full service history from one owner…..in lovely condition on surface. PROBLEM…… rusted plates underneath which has led to MOT failure. Sadly, I have had to give up driving. Therefore I will not be looking to repair. So offering for spare or repair at £600 Wrexham North Wales

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.

Hi Alex I would expect you to be getting DTC codes if you are getting dashboard error messages It is possible you need Jag specific software. Have you checked the Fuel Pump Driver Module? Also I would re-check the need to recode a new fuel pump as Gemini (AI search) suggests it is needed. This might also help if you have not already found it. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Electrical/XFWorkshopManual/Fuel System.pdf Good luck John

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

Had a similar problem on a peugot 206cc turned out there was a bearing sitting on top of the strut that had cracked after the previous owner hit a pothole. Think from memory there is a rubber damper on the top of the strut on the jags also

I have just been and collected a multimeter up from tool station. I tested the fuse box where the washer pump fuse goes and sure enough its reading a flat 0 when I press the button on the stalk for the washers. Just as a control I also tested where the fuse goes for the wiper motor which worked perfectly showing 14 something odd volt.

Brilliant thank you.

Hello my speakers on my X Type estate are not working, the small speakers above the main speakers work but not the 4 in the doors I have checked fuses as per handbook and they are all fine. Any suggestions please

I only have just brought this XK8 convertible is a 2002 with 64000 miles, it is in the garage have some work done to it. One of the things is the remote does not work; we have replaced the Security Module in the boot and now the remote will pair. It will open the Boot and flash the lights but will still not open the or lock the doors. Has anyone got any ideas. Thank you

Only the gasket rings (2) I think you can just about access them without removing manifold casting. When you have one actuator removed, test it with 12v to check it's function and don't get the loom connectors mixed up between the upper and lower actuator.

Probably not vehicle specific, but best refer to original supplier's website for more information. If it's a towbar mounted version, probably good for most vehicles with a towbar fitted. N6 JMX

Thanks that is spot on

Given JLRs recent hacking problems, it might be more expedient to consult your friendly local independent Jag specialist. Often such specialists will have a stock of good used units on the shelf and will of course be able to fit/program as needed for your car.

Thank you I will it's my only HOPE

Not in 2019 ! They assume everyone is using Car Play or Android Auto

For anyone who is wondering... Beneath the fuel filter is a connector that this blue socket fits into. Oddly in my car (XF X250) although the connector is there, there are no pins to mate with this socket so redundant. I assume some modules fuel filters have an electrical connection to this plug but mine doesn't.

I have a year 2000 Jag S Type 3ltr V6 Auto. It has the metal gearbox pan, not the plastic all in one filter type. There is a lot of conflicting info about but what fluid should I use to do a filter and fluid change. Is it mineral or synthetic and can anyone give me an idea of where to get it without paying over the top, which Ive also heard is quite common. Thanks in advance for any info you can help with.

Hello Dennis, I am looking at your car and getting interested in the possibility of buying it. I have a few questions: 1. Still available? 2, If the answer to 1 is yes, please confirm current mileage? 3. Please confirm how many owners including yourself? 4. How long in your ownership? 5. The MOT history looks really good with no mention of any corrosion, however please let me know if you have had any corrosion correction work done. Finally, if you have them please send me more pictures of the car showing the engine bay, boot area and underside. Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Paul.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this?

Oils are difficult to get right. You can spend hours on line reading about the different varieties of oil and the different specs etc and only end up with less knowledge than what you started with . My general rule with oils is get the specification as close as you can and by a good quality oil... sorry I cant be more helpful than that

Cheers and thanks for your help
