I have a xfs. Ive looked on youtube how to check tyre pressure but i dont seem to have the vehicle info so i wondered if this was not an option on the sport model or if this is a fault on mine.

Hi All, Greetings from Ireland! Long story but over the past 3 years I've struggled with the air suspension on my 2005 XJ Sovereign, standard wheelbase. Firstly a compressor replacement, then a front ride height sensor and 2 front air springs in January 25 because in Ireland here for the roadworthiness test they do a side to side measurement on the shock absorbers to check they are in balance (30% imbalance is the fail level) and last month 2 rear ride height sensors because one was throwing a fault code and the car sitting 1" to 1 1/2" too high. Sensors fitted but still too high and after deflating completely took 8 hours to reflate and is now still too high. Then last Friday a loud bang and we thing the left rear bag has blown out. The front springs were aftermarket (probably Chinese) and admittedly cheap but rode hard when installed. I have been told that aftermarket air springs can cause spurious faults with the air suspension system but I'm not buying OEM Jaguar front ones at horrendous cost. So essentially I've had it with the air suspension and want to fit the coil replacements. I've driven myself distracted by researching on the internet what to replace them with. All of the options seem to be US or Chinese based - are their none in Europe to buy? I know there are numerous posts on this in all forums but a lot of advice stretches back 10 years sometimes and I can't find any recent 'where to buy' recommendations. I don't want a super duper set, just reliable old springs and the ability to switch off the air suspension warnings for the roadworthiness test (any orange light or dashboard warning is a fail condition here in Ireland). It's a 2005 MY. I'd like it to ride nice and comfortable, it's not a corner carver or a track machine, I've Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO 235/50 R18 101V XL tyres all round if that's relevant - it rains a lot here and it rides nice on those. But I have to say I do see the value in a set with adjustable damping/ valving and spring height - if it isn't going to cause the Jaguar to fail inspection as a too-modified car. All advice gratefully received please! Thanks Nick

I have similar problem, maybe not as annoying. I checked all door and window seals, nothing visible so decided to live with it.

I have a 1969 programme for a race meeting at Mallory Park. In the programme there is an advert for Dunlop Tyres showing E TYPE AOK 138B. This vehicle is still on the road and I would like to find the owner to ask if they would like the programme. Can anyone help please?

Thanks for the information it's appreciated. It is the middle module the one in the footwear drivers side. I have obtained the SDD and am in the process of reprogramming it to the car, I had the old one cleared byMuggles in Lincoln, so far so good

Hi Everyone. I have searched everywhere to find an answer to my question. How to Remove, and Installation of a Fuel Flap Door Release Cable? I even asked a mechanic and he said it was a nightmare of a job the interior needs to come out remove the wheel etc. Does anyone know how to do this or how it's done? A video would be great. But an idiot's guide would also suffice. Keith.

Hi Which module are you changing you need someone with Jaguar IDS/SDD, then it can be setup for your depending on which module it is, it may not need programming cheers Joe

Thanks for the information it's appreciated. On to the next step, thanks again

Hi Gordon This might help: https://www.lockingwheelnutkeys.co.uk/ Good luck John

Had my car in for it's MOT today, apart from advisories on tyres which are getting replaced next week anyway and rear brake pads which are getting replaced during the service, it had a clean bill of health. Very happy with that, I've owned the car for 12 months and only had to put fuel in it. 😁
