Hi Anthony, you have keyless entry and pulling the door handle whilst still having the keys on your person will unlock the door you are pulling on. Try double locking the vehicle - press the lock button twice and have the vehicle chirp to you. Walk away and put the keys at least 2 metres from the car and then walk back to try the door pull again. N6 JMX

I own a 2009 Jaguar XF X250 2.7 V6 (AI-D) and I’m experiencing a strange issue that appears occasionally in the form of vibrations. I’ve noticed that between 40–50 km/h and at low RPMs (especially when going uphill), just before the car needs to downshift, there are quite strong vibrations coming from the rear of the vehicle. The same thing also happens between 70–80 km/h. There are no problems in shifting nor sound from the gearbox, only vibrations from the rear somewhere. I’ve had it checked at Jaguar, but they couldn’t determine the cause of the problem. A workshop has already replaced the center driveshaft without success. Has anyone experienced something similar or have an idea what this could be? Thanks in advance

Key fob locks doors Mirrors go in,Hazard lights flash But you pull the handle and door opens so not locking HELP

Hi , The supplier is an acquaintance of mine who has an extensive history with Jaguar Land rover, he is UK based. He sells these touch screens. I will contact him and ask him if he is OK with me passing his contact details on this forum. I do not think he will object but as a matter of courtesy I think it's only correct.

Hi Anthony, could you please advise the supplier of the indicated modification - I would like to check it out as I am aware of a few folks having touchscreen issues of one sort or another. N6 JMX

Hi N6JMX The modification I was referring to is an aftermarket one, the central touchscreen and ventilation/ heating controls you refer to on the standard set up is removed completely and replaced by a touch screen that integrates the in car entertainment system, heating, cooling and ventilation systems, heated seats , SatNav, telephone and WiFi capability via your phone. Amazing piece of kit that totally transforms the car. This is also available for the FType.

Hi Nigel, if you are leaning towards the XKR Convertible, then you may well be restricted for choice at the moment although there could be a few coming to the market in the near future due to the onset of the winter. The current crop on the market are few and far between, but I do know of a few owners who may be looking to dispose of their pristine motors due to age related mobility issues (for the owner!). Normally I would advise interested folks to pull together the specification they are after - colour scheme especially, followed by preferred year. In my opinion the 2010 cars are the sweet spot, with some of the best colour combinations and not outfitted with the slightly superfluous body kits and wheels that are not silver. Once you have an idea of what you would like, and it is a Modern XK, then come back here and let us know. Pretty sure we might be in a position to point you towards some cars that are not necessarily yet on the market. N6 JMX

Hi Anthony, which model of the XK are you referring to when you talk about the "modification"? The X-150 (2006 - 2014) already comes with a central touchscreen for control of all sorts of actions within the car so don't understand what a modification would bring to the party. As for rear subframe corrosion in the X-150, it is not an issue unless the car has been used year round on salted roads, or spent much of its life by the seaside - salty air. My own car is a 2010 model and the underside is like new, even though I live in Northeast Scotland (mine for the past 13 years) - because it doesn't get out in the winter and therefore never been subject to salted roads. That said, I have seen very poor condition rear, and front, subframes, where the owners are not aware of the steel underpinnings - they get lost on the aluminium architecture - and forget to have the steel elements protected with Lanogard or similar. When properly protected, or not used, then the subframes remain perfect. N6 JMX

Hi Nigel, the later 5.0 XKs are a fantastic vehicle, they are very well equipped and offer absolutely excellent value for money. However they can suffer from serious rear subframe corrosion. For long distance touring the XKs are in my opinion a better choice of car. Either way both the F Type and XKs are great cars. There is also a modification available for the entire entertainment and heating /cooling controls system for the XKs. It comes in the form of a touch screen that replaces all the existing centre console controls and transforms the car immensely. I have a contact that supplies them in the UK and have seen one working. Amazing transformation that massively improves the ergonomics of the car. It is plug and play and needs no wiring modifications.

Jim and Anthony, thanks so much for getting back to me, that’s been really useful. I now find myself looking at later XKs - is that silly in your opinion ( as you can tell I am a car illiterate but just want something that’s fun to enjoy in the sun on a trip to Italy say)? Cheers and thanks Nigel

I would look into having them remanufactured by a hydraulic fitters company. If you sent the eBay lot to them they could work them over. Since you now have a spare set you should look into it.

Did you renew the fuel filter as well?

Hi, I have had the pleasure of owning 3 F Types, 2 of which were convertibles and also a 4.2 XKR convertible. Without a doubt the XKR is a much more comfortable car for touring long distance in my opinion, the later 5.0 versions have a high level of specification equal or superior in some cases to the F Type. The boot space in both types of convertible is limited . The XKR being larger, but when the roof is down the space is reduced unlike that of the F Type which does not have a stowable partition in the boot. I also know that some replacement components for the XKRs are no longer available from JLR at all, these include the later XKR models, for instance the rear subframes are no longer manufactured, and some electrical modules are also affected. Maybe a factor worth considering. I do miss the ride quality of the XKR, my wife is not a fan of my FType for this reason. The 5.0 FType is an impressive performer, but a completely different driving experience to the XKR. I would like to own one of each type but don't have the space!!
