After a thought, I’m starting to lean towards the battery for some of your problems too, the same as the others above. I’ve had a battery before that’s failed after a few months. The rp maybe different and I’m surprised it’s giving no codes - as I say, a warm favourite is a vacuum leak The keyfob? I would be trying a new battery in it first if none of the buttons are working - starting the car has nothing to do with the battery in the fob

Hi Vic, The vehicle is a 2008 XF 2.7D. The codes are in the first message. The fob stopped working when the battery was disconnected for a week or so, the fob works perfectly when inserted so will try to wake them up through SDD. The RFA shows a big red cross on when checking the modules on SDD. Previously there was a fault code with the MAF's so when cleaning didn't work I replaced the two and a new air filter and no fault codes for the MAF for the past 150 miles. The limp mode is restricted performance / DSC not available..... and with the fault code generated by the ABS ( See first message ) is the reason I was moving towards the wheel sensors. Three times today with limp mode, so frustrating.

Rfa is remote fob somethingorother…It’ll be the module You don’t tell us what your car and year is. If you disconnected the battery, it may have messed up its security settings, these will have to be reprogrammed via sdd. This happens between the years approx 2012 till 2015 You don’t tell us the codes that are still showing I would extremely doubt if the abs code is causing the rp - your brakes will still work and I think it would show a light on the dash Check very carefully the control boxes in the boot and the drivers footwell for any signs of water ingress, plugs too A usual suspect for rp at your revs is unmetered air getting drawn into the air intake, but that would throw a fault code

So just to update, having fully charged the battery the issue with restricted performance is still occurring. Some of the codes have disappeared which may be due to the battery or some of the work I have been applying to the car. I have cleaned the earth points in the boot, under both front wing liners, and behind front N/S light. Does anyone know of any more? I am working through SDD and its pointing towards ABS issue, am planning to change all 4 sensors this week. Any other advice or suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks for the reply. I am sure it is rain water it only leaks when it rains but don`t know why it comes through the air vents under the passenger seat. I have tried a hose pipe but it does not leak. I don`t know why. I must admit that I hardly use me jaguar not been in it this year. I run it every month to make sure all is okay. There is no sunroof it`s not that. Will keep looking and let you know if I solve the problem.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I must admit that I rarely use my jaguar and I assume that the car needs to be running for the AC system for water to build up and come out of the vents under the passenger seat. But I will check that when I run the engine for a while and let you know.

Sorry to hear of your troubles. a terrible thing to happen, hope you can find some solution. I have no idea what is happening when you have a failure like you had, perhaps it would be stuck in the gear it was in at the moment of failure, I just don't know. If it was a catastrophic failure in the engine and/or gearbox I s'pose at that point it doesn't really matter, it's going to be a major repair either way. There is a fairly easy way to release the run of the mill stuck in Park problem, it will be in the Drivers Manual or you'll find many " how to " on line If it's just a simple problem ( ie flat battery, faulty brake light switch etc. ) Sadly it seems that you may have more of a problem than this, good luck with a fix.

Hi. If the gear selector was to fail on Jaguar Xf 3.0d v6 x260 2017 with 50k on the clock, while driving. What effect could this have on the engine ? The D was flashing during the total lost of power. This all happened within 20/30 seconds of lost of power. Reason for the enquiry is my car engine sized up with no warnings. The gear selector was stuck in park and couldn’t be moved. The rear wheels wouldn’t move even after releasing the break catch release under the bonnet. My independence Jaguar specialist garage is informed me the electric break was broken. Any help or advice would be appreciated. With thanks

Hi Thanks for your reply. Service has always been carried out by dealership Barr the last one. 80k service, believe this includes the oil change carried out by the dealership at 37299 miles 7-2022. 96k service carried out 46k In December 2023. By independent garage, only repairs Jaguar cars, 30 years experience, trained by Jaguar at the start of his career. Car’s mileage is at 50k now. From my research this isn’t a rare issue. It’s how to prove there is it a problem with the engine, will cost 2-3k to strip the engine to find the cause. What was strange was the flashing of the D during the break down and unable to move the gear nob from park. Rear wheels locked. This was after releasing the brake under the bonnet. Garage told me the brake release was broken. Not sure if this in anyway is connected combined with the flashing D on the dash Any info would be appreciated. With thanks

Sorry in advance if this has been covered before! This is my 15th Jaguar (2007 2.7 diesel) I keep leaving the lights on and would like to know if it should have a warning chime. I don't actually get any audible warnings at all ,only parking sensors. Please help as my neighbour is getting a little annoyed ------- -- at letting me know.

My 2014 Jaguar XFR 5litre V8 510 HP Supercharged in Metallic British Racing Green is looking for a new owner! The car drives like a new car with just 67,000 miles on the clock. I have been in possession of this beast for just over 3 years and can say it behaves perfectly in all conditions. The traction control is superb as is the general ride. There has been 1 previous owner and there is full service history from the day it was first registered. I am looking for £15,500 or near offer - to a good home! The car is in the M26 area of Manchester. Please call me on 07971 559094 if you are interested. Oh, it’s back on its original DVLA Registration number as the private plate has been reassigned.
