Had a similar problem on a peugot 206cc turned out there was a bearing sitting on top of the strut that had cracked after the previous owner hit a pothole. Think from memory there is a rubber damper on the top of the strut on the jags also

Not sure I’ll give him a call 👍

Have you had the shock absorber top mount checked not sure if there is a bush or a bearing

Hi everyone, further to my previous post I have now had new drop links fitted and anti roll bar rubber bushes, the knocking noise has certainly reduced to the point I thought it was cured, however driving today I can still hear it although greatly reduced. The jag mechanic says he has checked all joints and everything is good, but there is obviously something even my granddaughter asked me what the noise was, I’m now wondering if it could be worn brake calliper pins, has anyone any further thoughts. Many thanks

I have just been and collected a multimeter up from tool station. I tested the fuse box where the washer pump fuse goes and sure enough its reading a flat 0 when I press the button on the stalk for the washers. Just as a control I also tested where the fuse goes for the wiper motor which worked perfectly showing 14 something odd volt.

Thanks mate, yes it could be possible that is the case, im replacing the washer pump today when the new one arrives, so before I do il pick up a voltage tester and test at multiple points. Aswell as tracking down the earth, thankfully its only the windscreen washer pumps affected and nothing more.

Hi Thomas, I am a believer in the fault likely arises from the last action you took - you removed the washer pump and put it back into place - therefore by my thinking you have likely disturbed some element of the power supply wiring, most likely the earth. But perhaps that's just me being optimistic. Don't spiral to conclusions until you can get a meter onto the pump terminals to confirm you have the correct voltages where they should be. N6 JMX

It’s a long shot but does anyone have the XF RS rear bumper defuser that they are willing to sell? Iv priced one up from my local JLR dealer and I’m not paying £2000 for one and the ones on ali express look like the standard XF S defusers in either primer or carbon fibre finish.

Brilliant thank you.

Hi John Code is probably 1313 Sometimes 0000 or 1111 may work. Good luck John

Hello all, i noticed yesterday that my xf had a leak from the windscreen wash bottle, at this point the washer pumps for the headlights and windscreens were still working. I pulled the arch liner back to access the pump, I could see that it was leaking from the rubber grommet/filter on the pump. I removed the pump from the bottle but kept it plugged in to its power supply, I managed to seal it back up and stop the leak temporarily until the new one arrives. However upon driving my xf today I have noticed neither the washer pump for the windscreens or the pump for the headlights to be working, I have checked the fuse under the bonnet (f6 30a fuse) and its still intact. I dont dare disconnect the battery to check the bcm in the drivers footwell, im hoping its something simple, am I in denial that the bcm has infact been corrupted?

Hello on my X Type estate I would like to connect to my iPhone to the Bluetooth, the phone finds "Jaguar" but it asks me for a code where would I find this please?

Hello my speakers on my X Type estate are not working, the small speakers above the main speakers work but not the 4 in the doors I have checked fuses as per handbook and they are all fine. Any suggestions please

I only have just brought this XK8 convertible is a 2002 with 64000 miles, it is in the garage have some work done to it. One of the things is the remote does not work; we have replaced the Security Module in the boot and now the remote will pair. It will open the Boot and flash the lights but will still not open the or lock the doors. Has anyone got any ideas. Thank you

Only the gasket rings (2) I think you can just about access them without removing manifold casting. When you have one actuator removed, test it with 12v to check it's function and don't get the loom connectors mixed up between the upper and lower actuator.

Probably not vehicle specific, but best refer to original supplier's website for more information. If it's a towbar mounted version, probably good for most vehicles with a towbar fitted. N6 JMX

Thanks that is spot on

Given JLRs recent hacking problems, it might be more expedient to consult your friendly local independent Jag specialist. Often such specialists will have a stock of good used units on the shelf and will of course be able to fit/program as needed for your car.

Has anyone had difficulty in getting a new abs module? My car is a 2006 XK and I have had an order for a new unit with JLR since May. I keep getting told that it's on back order but nobody seems to have a clue what's going on

Thank you I will it's my only HOPE

I have a bike rack for my FPace which I no longer need. Would this be useable on other cars, Jaguar or even other manufacturers. Thanks

You must be referring to the red button on the lock mechanism itself which is inside. If that button is in the down position then your only hope is to get the key working in the lock. Keep working the key and flushing it out, it does take time.

I cannot get access to the red button because the boot is locked 😫 I have put lots of wd40 in the boot key hole and it feels jammed through lack of use

Not in 2019 ! They assume everyone is using Car Play or Android Auto

If you are referring to the button in the middle of the boot plinth then that is another boot release switch. It is a push button switch. If it looks as though it is stuck in then try to release it with a watchmaker’s screwdriver. With reference to the key lock, how far can you turn the key when inserted. If you’re not able to turn far enough then it won’t unlock. Try WD40 and then working the lock, it may be gunged up through lack of use.
