Hi Phil Info to help replace the stalk is here: http://www.jagrepair.com/JaguarXFLightStalkReplacement.htm Lots of other useful info on that site. Sounds like it might be a dodgy contact in the stalk or a faulty Central Junction Box which controls current flow to both the indicators and the headlights. Does indicating turn main beams on even when light switch is off, or does it just move from dipped beam to full beam when the headlights are on and you try turning? John

Hi ste-- A big welcome to the club be nice to see a photo of your 1994 XJs all the best --- Frank

Trials

1994 xj40s i have owned the car for 3 years and i have a stalling problem.The car starts first time but soon as it gets to normal temperature it goes into a stalll if i keep the engine going by revving the engine manager light comes on and drives perfect . I have changed the temperature switch and lamba sensor exhaust and egr valve and also get fail 44. i have had the garage look at it but still can not find the fault any help would be very much appreciated Thanks ste

Have a look here Andy; https://reluctorrings.com

Hi Frank I suggest you really need to get the fault codes read / read them yourself (OBD scanners are available for around £20). Without that you are simply going to be trying to solve the problem without actually knowing what the problem is. Good luck John

Thank you, great suggestion and I will certainly keep that link for future problems. Unfortunately they currently only have passenger side. I have found Jaguar have a classic parts section and hopefully I have bought the right part from there. I will probably have to paint it but at least it should fit.

Just as most others are saying that independent Jaguar specialists are great. Mine does a far better job than I have got before from main dealers and I usually pay around £300 for a major service. No frills just great work.

Thanks, I know its not the tyres as said, I have moved them around. I guess the drive shaft could be a good place to start. Don't have the tools but this gives me something to go to the mechanic with!

Hi, Having a mare of a time with my 2011 XF 3.0D V6 Facelift Model I've got my XF on a ramp in a garage (Garage unable to source any) and can't seem to get a correct set of all 4 Flexible hoses, No stock anywhere. Main Dealer states Brake Hoses on 'Back Order' but have no idea of a due date. I've been supplied the incorrect parts from a couple of different sources as they have assured me they are the ones for my car, but still no joy. Has anybody here had any luck finding or sourcing the four Hoses from the Body to the Calipers.

I would be interested to meet as well. Steve

Hi Charlotte, I am not overly familiar with the X-type but from a general knowledge perspective, practically all of the "modules" in a modern Jaguar need to be programmed to the car. This can be achieved, I believe, using the Jaguar or Auto Logic diagnostic equipment. Not sure it is something the home mechanic can readily achieve though. You say you have already tried lots of fixes, but have you tried a new battery in the car? Again, modern Jaguars rely very heavily on a good battery and it would amaze you how many, apparently random and unrelated faults are thrown up by a failing battery, which can still start the vehicle, but have voltage spikes that upsets the electronics. I recommend that the battery be considered a consumable and changed when it gets to 5 years old. As given, the ability to start the car is no longer the best measure of the battery's health. N6 JMX

Hi All. Ive got a 61 plate XF S Portfolio. The car is registering someone in the passenger seats when it’s empty. If you put the seatbelt in it’s fine. Sometimes if you push on the base of the seat, the light will go out. Would this be a faulty seat occupancy sensor? Thanks james

I have an XF 3.0D V6 S for sale in White/Black alloys 2028 (68) 2 owners Ive had it since 650 mikes now 57000 miles just had full service and all alloys refurbished. Superb condition. A really great car drives brilliantly has all the bells and whistles. Have it advertised at £16,750 but would take £16,000 for it from a jaguar owners club member. Please message me if interested and I can send images.

Thank you - this is really helpful. Tim

Auto reserve jaguar are really good and have good prices. I recently got a rear light cluster/led for (175 including vat and postage from them.

Hello to all and thanks for letting me join.

Hi Shaun, if you send me an email to: scotland.ambassador@jecregions.org.uk then I will email it on to you. N6 JMX

Unfortunately you do not have a ”service connection” to enable remote movement of the seat and there is no way to manually move them. You will therefore have to remove it and then apply 12v to the motor in order to move it. Assuming of course the motor has not been damaged by the water.

Could be the solenoid Steve. Are you hearing a click? Took the starter off mine and annoyingly it worked perfectly on the bench. Been fine ever since.

Hi Steve - All the best + Welcome to the club

Further to the post above, the type of Ducks Bill used in the New XK changed during 2009, with the c/o being at VIN B34500, so cars in 2009 could still have the older, easily blocked version. In the photo below, the older / original version is at the top and the new / improved version is at the bottom. N6 JMX

Hi Martin, effectively yes. The system will effectively remain at the last available update point. Any changes on the roads driven will not he held in the system. N6 JMX

Bought for my now departed XK8, I have a car cover for sale. Not specifically tailored for the XK8, would fit XJS and F-Type equally well (or even an Aston or Maserati...). Very good undamaged condition. £75 ono. Collection preferred (Hampshire).
