Sorry my Mistake. Its a 2litre on a 66 plate. What do you think please?

There shouldn't be any 2 litre engines on a '14' plate XF ? The 2.0 ingenium diesel came out in 2015 on the X260, the 2.2 was only available in the X250 version of the XF.

Get the seller to measure it then and let you know! 😛

It sounds like the cover on the hedlamp washers, should be safe enough to push back on if so but it might be the clip holding it has broken.

Genuine Jaguar XF Saloon 2008 - 2015 Boot Liner Tray. Jaguar Part Number - C2Z5613 This item was only fitted to the car to take the pictures. It is in as new condition as can be seen from the pictures. £100, Collection only please as there is no packaging to send the item. Located near Southport.

I appreciate your opinion, I’m 3 hours traveling distance to view this car, a long way to go with a tape measure 🤔

just below headlights on my 69 reg. fpace there are small rectangular plates which one has 'popped' out'.. any ideas what they are and is it safe (or possible) to push back in

That looks like the LWB to me but others may have different opinions.

Hi all, I’m new here and looking for some advice, I’m looking to purchase the XJ6 and have one in my sights, I do however wish to buy a long wheel base. I have found one that the seller has told me is a LWB but upon running the reg through total car check it comes back as a SWB. I know that the extra length is in the rear doors, I am struggling to tell from the side image that I have. Just wondering if there are any eagle eyed members who could give their opinion please ? regards Matthew

Would you buy a xf 2.2 14 plate 67k or Xf 2ltr 14 plate 80k assuming recent belt and pump . Both same price.

Yes, kits are available on ebay and/or your local motor factor relatively cheaply, usually about a fiver. However, if there is wear in the ball joint often it's is quicker and easier to renew complete, you'd need to look/check and see what the situation is.

My latest mot tells me 'Nearside Front Upper Suspension arm ball joint dust cover severely deteriorated'. Can anybody tell me if these can be replaced or must I replace the whole arm?

Hi does anyone know of someone who can help me with the delamination of my dash?

Dear All, I hope someone can help me please..................... I have a Sept 19 (20MY) XE with the 10 inch (no side button) In Control Pro \ Touch Pro system. I did a system reset due to it becoming slow and in some case stuck on even when leaving and locking the car, but now, my system is not connecting to the internet. When I turn on the Mobile Data in the Connectivity section in settings, all it gives me is: "Sim Not Supported" I have tried all the standard things such as: Removing the sim, cleaning the sim and re-inserting the sim The sim IS inserted correctly The Sim is a 3 network Data Only sim that has 22gb left and is valid until June 27 The sim works 100% as I have tried it in my tablet and it connects as 4g and works to stream video etc.. Before I did the system reset, it connected and worked fine and also connected at 4g Prior to the reset I also checked to make sure there were no software updates for either the car or the entertainment system and it was all up to date. In addition, I have lost the the live options such as being able to see the weather etc, even if I connect via my mobile phone using a hotspot, I've pulled out the module in the centre console and all connections are fine. I've also pulled the F24 (Telematics) fuse that someone advised me to that was supposed to invoke a re-boot? But still all the same problem. So, How is the IMC (Infotainment Master Controller)recovery done? Can I do it, or does it have to go to a Dealer or Indy specialist to be connected up to Jag? Is there a way of invoking it at home, or putting it back to a previous version and then doing the updates again? Everything else on the system is working, and it also connects to the internet via my home Wi-fi when I'm parked outside so I have got all my personal settings back on including my In Control account and personal profile etc. As a further update, I have now tried the following things to try and get my Sim Card to work: Ensured my battery is fully charged - No change Tried a Ubigi card supplied by Jag from my sisters E-Pace which is active and connecting in the E-Pace - No Change Disconnected my cars battery and left it for approx 3 hours - No Change When I reconnected my battery, whilst the car had forgotten the time and date, all of my other ICT settings and memory such as phone, radio stations, and my profile were all still there. My car does connect to my home Wi-Fi whilst I am sat on my drive, so I am able to get my system up and running, but obviously as soon as I leave home, I'm disconnected. Ironically, I also tried connecting my car wirelessly to a hot spot from my mobile, but the car didn't see it, hence why I connected to my home wi-fi. So, whatever I try, when I attempt to turn on Mobile Data in the Connectivity section of the General Settings menu, all I get is "SIM CARD NOT SUPPORTED" If I take the Sim out, it says "READING SIM" Any ideas on how I can get it working again please other than having to go to a dealer and pay for it to be plugged in? I have attached screen images of my current software and also the sim not supported message I get. Regards, Dave

It's normally just behind the crankshaft pulley on the front of the engine. It's secured by a cap screw (5mm key as i recall, it's a Metric fastener so don't try a 3/16" Allen key as it will round out) and is awkward to get at but possible laying under a securely supported car. Patience is needed and a smear of silicone grease on the new "O" ring on the new sensor to help it slide in nicely. If the plug is dodgy as they deteriorate with age, you may want to go for what's known as a service kit that comes with a new plug with fly leads and you cut and connect them to the loom further back from the deteriorated area around the plug. Here are a few choices from Rock Auto : https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/jaguar,2002,x-type,2.5l+v6,1381182,ignition,crankshaft+position+sensor,7196 Good luck and hopefully that is the cause of your non-start.

Dave - Thanks for the suggestion, any idea where the CKP is located on the 2.5? Thanks, Sean (Northern NJ)

Hi all. I have 2 engine serial numbers, beginning with PA & PB. Is there a way to tell what model of engine they are please to find out the engine size?

I am pleased to announce that the Scottish Jaguar Enthusiasts' Day will take place on Saturday the 6th of June 2026 at the Riverside Museum in Glasgow, (The Transport Museum). Entry will cost £10 per vehicle and pre-registration is required. All monies raised will be used to support our chosen charity for 2026, which is Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA). The event in 2025 raised nearly£2,000 for the charity. Plus a great day out was had by everyone who came along, exhibitors and visitors alike. For those of you who have not visited the Riverside Museum, it is a fantastic building with a stunning collection of Scotland’s transport history, plus it has a permanently moored Tall Ship, The Glenlee on the River Clyde, immediately adjacent to the Riverside – actually on the quayside of the museum. In addition, the newly opened Partick to Govan pedestrian bridge allows easy access to the attractions on the south side of the River Clyde. Accordingly, there is lots to see and do. Plus, there is a restaurant and café onsite as well. For “the other half” that may wish to experience the retail therapy that Glasgow – the Second City of the Empire - can offer, rather than chat about the fabulous Jaguars on display, there is a regular bus service from the front of the museum to the heart of the city and return.

Hi Paul, welcome to the wonderful world of Jaguar motoring and to the Forum. I can confirm the NC500 is a great outing with lots of Scotland's magnificent scenery on offer. I am also sure that there are great driving roads closer to your home in Antrim where you can cut your teeth and get used to the feelings the Jaguar gives you and your new wife. If you want to get adventurous, then I would suggest planning a trip to Lake Garda in Northern Italy. Don't take the conventional route of getting across to the Continent and heading down through France before hanging a right at Lyon though, go for a North about route, taking in Belgium / Holland, Germany, and Austria before entering Northern Italy through the Brenner Pass. You can take your time with plenty of stopovers in some great locations, try Autobahn, Autostrada and N roads, whichever takes your fancy. Once at Lake Garda, there are many picturesque villages, with great hotels and restaurants to while away the restful time. This is a trip my wife and I have undertaken over 20 times in the last 30 years and we still keep going back, it's a great trip to a great location. And, depending on your time and resources, you can make such a trip as long as you want. Enjoy. N6 JMX

Query in respect of a 1958 XK150 drop head / soft top. Car was previously looked after down in Cornwall. Any suggestions would be most welcome, please. Thanks.

Hi Dave, thanks for reply. I am after the white plastic clips that hold the stainless trim in place at the top of the door. I have tried a couple of clips from ebay but they are not the correct size and local Jaguar service agent says very hard to find! Thanks Jim

That was my Thinking. He must of been more proactive with the car rather than reactive. Hence why the MOT has never had a significant issue. I’ll reach out to Rustbusters and get a rough cost. thank you for your help it’s been greatly appreciated

I believe it's item #5 in this diagram Jim but there is a VIN-specific change so check your VIN before ordering : https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/parts/index/part/id/200.1108.2618.12064/brand/jaguar/ Welcome aboard too!

Rustbusters could almost certainly resolve any problems then coat the underside with an anti-corrosion coating meaning it will be nearer new for longer if that makes sense. Most XK8s i've seen for sale on a similar age with history etc have been up for a lot more. As it was engineer owned and is now the subject of an estate sale, i'd hazard a guess that he let things go in the last year orthree of his life. As most of the previous history was failed bulbs, he obviously kept a close eye on things so presumably fixed them as they arose or there would be more evidence on the MoT history. The mileage sounds high at first but when you consider it's 30 years old, it's just over 5000 miles a year so all things considered, low mileage. The bug-bear for me would be the corrosion underneath, if you can resolve your concerns about that then i think it should be a pretty good buy.
