All Activity

Hi all, Steve here, just joined and hoping to get some feedback regarding a bit of a mystery. I am doing a refurb of the front suspension on my XKR X100, 2002MY. I have the upper wishbone fulcrum bolt out and to my surprise it has a larger diametre at the bolt end... Never seen that before. The diametre is the same as the diametre of the inner sleeve of the new bushing, but the existing bushing's sleeve fits over it... So the two upper bushings have different diametres. Everything I have read states they are same bush front and rear. Any ideas?? I am guessing (and it really is a guess) that once upon a time an inner sleeve got fused to the fulcrum and instead of replacing the fulcrum a suitable bush was sourced. Anyways, I guess I have to either purchase a new fulcrum bolt or put this one on a lath and turn it to the correct diametre. What do you chaps think? Any input appreciated!

so that means probably max 300 at jag indy

Deception

Hello All, thanks for letting me join the club. Can anyone advise on the following problem. The bonding holding the rear window to the soft top on my Jag XK has failed causing the window to fall inwards. I guess it must be caused by the intense heat over the last couple of weeks. Also, it is a 2008 model. Can anyone recommend a ‘specialist’ in the Hertfordshire/Cambridgeshire/Bedfordshire area that could fix it, please? My local garage can’t help me. Thanks

local jag dealer quoted £533 for the 42000 mile service is this about right xf 2.0 2021

Jlr online manual if you haven't got one with the car

My car has the same problem. Misfire on the front cylinder bank. Its had new plugs, coils, fuel pump and injectors. Did you figure out a solution?

Any one any tips on how to work Cruise control 2021 model?

Fraudulent

So having had this issue I believe I have found the primary cause when its the throttle body (TB) and more importantly how to fix it at very little cost. See this thread on the UK F-Pace Forum. https://www.fpaceforums.co.uk/threads/sticky-throttle-body-fix-p0234.8166/?post_id=90121#post-90121 I'll keep it up dated, but please feel free to distribute the news to any TDV6 or SDV6 forums. Ford designed this engine, but it was/is used by others, such as Land Rover, Range Rover, Jaguar, Citroen, Peugeot & some other's I believe.

not sure such places still exist...

completetly different cars...EV vs diesel - personally would go for xf 3.0d...much more refined than 2.0. depending what year make we talking about in terms of 2.0 ingenium diesel. after 2019 there were design changes to it and they are more reliable than in 2016-2018 models

Personally I replaced my 2013 2,2 XF Sportbrake with an MB GLC 220D as the aircon would have cost around £2000 to fix (£30 TX valve, rest for labour!). I would have preferred to go for the newer XF sportbrake but was put off by the Ingenium engines which have a woeful reputation. The I pace does appeal to me, particularly if you are not bothered by depreciation as they are now available for a fraction of the "new" price although I am still nervous about EV battery longevity and "range anxiety".

Bought a 2000 XK8. Broken timing chain. Knew valves were bent. Replaced them all. Reassembled motor. Ready to install the cams and took my new tool from my kit and pulled the crankshaft positioning sensor. Put the tool in and turned the crankshaft to line it up. The tool never caught. It bottomed out in the hole. It does not appear to be long enough to fit in a hole in the flywheel. is there a piece that fell 0ff the flywheel. ? Or is my tool too short?

2.2 for me ,quality over tech

Dear Friends I am thinking to change my current xf 2011 2.2d and i hope that you can help me the choices that I have are full electric i pace 2019 or xf 20d 2018 i would like your opinion and any help could be appreciated thank you

I am downsizing my collection of Jaguar books and have an original Service Manual for E type 3.8 and the supplement for the 4.2. It is an original copy complete with the mechanics !Removed! burn on the spine. I am currently in France but will be over to the UK in August. Contact me if you're interested. Ken

Hi all I've recently acquired a low mileage XF and busy working through what's required to help it survive. One of the jobs is lano-undersealing and though I have ramps, I also have a sloping drive....... Does anyone know of a pit/hoist I could hire for the day - preferably in the Durham/Teesside area.

is there an alternative system that will play cd thru car speakers that previously played thru radio with cassette adapter (connected to portable cd player)

Dishonesty

Hello Rolland, I don't believe there is any programming. I just swapped them over Graeme

Howdy, welcome👌

The anti tamper box can be taken off with a T handle torx key through the gap in the bumper then use a hooked piece of steel rod through the front grill , I only found this out AFTER I tool my grill off 😠
