The situation has worsened now as if I try to start the car in the morning, it spins over like crazy but won't start. If I then cycle the ignition on and off about 10 times then it will start straight away. My thinking was that perhaps the check valve in the tank fuel pump was leaking back but when I removed the delivery pipe from the pump, it was full and the fuel did not disappear from the outlet stub, indicating no leak-back. In any case, with the ignition on, the pump runs continuously so switching the ignition on/off shouldn't be the cure. This only happened before if I locked the car but now it happens locked or unlocked and depending on the length of time that it has not run determines the number of ignition cycles I have to make. If it is off for an hour then probably only two. I am still leaning towards a faulty immobiliser but would welcome any constructive comments.

Very nice! Now where did i put that winning lottery ticket? 😄 Joking aside, what is your idea of a "reasonable offer" as that is very much open ton interpretation?

OK cheers guys

Hi. If you have any issues with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan.

Owned my new Jaguar for 3 weeks , wasn't expecting a Jag to be my first car but something just felt right about it! It’s a Jaguar X type 3.0 v6 sovereign edition! If someone could maybe advise how rare these are (if they are in anyway!) and if they are sought after that would be great? As noticed not many for sale and registered , Happy to have joined!

Went for a long drive, steering much heavier in Dynamic mode at speed, checked all other suggestions, all OK, wife drove back, and she's happy, happy life, hope this helps.

First thing to do is read the codes. If the battery is indeed not charging then that will upset the engine manangement and many other things. It could be there's a short to earth in the warning light circuit which will cause this. There could be a number of other reasons for it as well, i'd suggest searching for a local Jag independent specialist and/or a good autoelectrician.

Hi, my " BATTERY NOT CHARGING " light comes on most times, I've had a new battery and alternator fitted but it still comes on, my mechanic has assured me the battery is charging although the warning light is still on, has anyone experienced this problem before or any tips on how to fix it?, many thanks Neil.

Handy to know iCarsoft JLR V2 will do an autobox reset - don't need to at the moment but useful to know.

Hi As already said above, the adaptation reset can be done with Jaguar ids/sdd software or with icarsoft LR V2 or V3 Jaguar dealer wont do these any more will have to be a Jaguar indy cheers Joe

hi there, i would go with proper remap service which can be suited to you needs - performance or economy.

Does anyone's recommended one, I'm looking for milage more than performance, lots on Ebay, between 70-120 pounds, and are they worth it, also insurance and warranty issues thanks.

You might be able to clear it using an OBD-II scanner but it might also need a dealer reset - suck it and see.

OK thanks will do.

I gonna have to check and see if I can clear and reset the tranny to my style OR is it a dealer only ?

No codes, showing anything, already checked 😞

Hi guys so last two days iv heard the sub not sounding too well (couldn't handle the hardstyle and drum&bass i suppose) today it has completely blown iv lifted the sub box out of the boot and removed the sub, is it possible to replace the sub with an aftermarket sub still utilising the oem sub box or will I have to find a decent oem sub?

If it appears mostly after a start after a period of inactivity then i would suggest the battery voltage is getting a bit low. Keep an eye on it and see if that's when it mostly comes.

I have a 2005 XJ8L and periodically I get an error message "ABS Fault, DSC Not Available". I do not know what signals it but it will go away after a restart or sitting off for awhile. When I took it in to the mechanic it wasn't showing the error so they couldn't investigate. Any ideas what is causing this message?

Thanks guys I have the offending parts on order already, and the source of classic parts has been bookmarked. I have to say I am very impressed with the information that readily flows from this site. From my user name Spyderromeo you will guess I have been associated with other clubs for other mark some national, some international but I have never received such quality responses so quickly. Be proud! For those interested my car in my user pic is myself at the end of the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans in a Porsche 550 Spyder replica not really a kit car (I use it as a trackday car).but one derived from one 50 years ago (not even made anymore) it had a fibreglass body actually moulded from an original Porsche and a space frame that was so good I knew original 550 owners who used parts from them for maintenance. I still own it and it and its Covered Race trailer, but I am not sure I would like to do many laps in one anymore. The Romeo bit in my user name comes from the fact that it is Alfa flat four powered with a 5 speed gearbox, limited slip diff, inboard brakes, etc. Thanks again. Spyderromeo
