Does anyone have any recommendations for a really good/experienced garage to look after an early 1990’s Jag XJRS? Based near Walton - and needing help with engine trouble 😑.

Hi Martin, why not list your "For Sale" item in the Marketplace section a little further down the Forum Homepage. No-one is really going to come to the model section to look at items for sale and one more post here and your item disappears from the front page! Just a suggestion. N6 JMX

After 6-1/2 years I've sold my lovely first edition I-pace, and am now left with a hardly used and originally very expensive bike carrier to fit an I-pace. Situated in Romsey, Hampshire it's for sale at £150. Please email if you're interested.

Hello all, I have a 2014 XF R-Sport Sportbrake and want to replace the exterior side vent trims with some black ones. I have searched how to do this but can find no clear answers. If anyone on here could shed some light it would be greatly appreciated. The picture shows my car as is.

Devastated! let everyone know. I left a free air freshener card on my lovely shiny cover of my centre console. its permanently etched its shape into the pristine surface. gutted. didn't expect that. Where can I get a spare covert for a 2018 XF sportbrake. dread to think what fitting it will cost. thanks for any ideas. Barry.

I have a xf 2.2 Diesel 2013, it has just developed a fault occasionally when pulling away it appears no gear has been selected and just revs the engine and the D flashes. I cant even select a gear on the paddles, I had to put into park then select drive and away we went. any ideas of the issues or experienced the same ?

I don't think they ever light up. TBF it is a pretty standard gearbox set up in the manual so I can't say I have ever seen it as an issue.

Probably either a faulty sensor or worn out module which is located in the boot near the spare wheel. You should be able to hear the sensors clicking if you put your ear close to them when in reverse, a faulty one will be silent . Both of the above items are available on ebay but make sure you get the module for cars with front and rear sensors. Also if there is a fault the indicator light will often flash on and off and sometimes beeps to indicate they are not working.

Hi Alan, that does sound a little bit salty, but there could be a number of reasons for the higher cost. Did you get an estimate breakdown? I suspect that there is little appetite amongst the dealer network to continue support for Jaguar as Jaguar Cars Ltd have not been very supportive of the dealerships, walking away from them in many cases. There may be also age related items that are not a normal part of the annual service such as auxiliary belts, etc. You are probably fortunate that you have a number of dealerships in your locale, but as the warranty period is well past, you also have the option of finding a good local independent to undertake your work and build a relationship for the future. I actually still have my own 2010 XKR under Jaguar Extended Warranty and spoke to them recently about the situation with the dealerships. They advised that as long as the work, such as servicing, is carried out to the correct procedure and interval, there would be no problem with the warranty conditions. They also said that an independent could undertake warranted repairs, provided they first got the go ahead from the warranty provider - same as a dealership would. Keep the Forum informed as to how you progress as this is a topic of real interest at the moment. N6 JMX

How much would you be Asking for the brembo brake calipers front and rear . And the mounts

It was ok on the last MOT but it has been standing for a few years that's why I'm breaking it.

I have a F Type 2014 s. Mileage is 35213. Have just been quoted £1600 from Jaguar dealer for a yearly service!. Live in Leicestershire was opening to pay around about £700 Would welcome any suggestions Kind regards Alan

What condition is the underside . Sills and subframe

Hi, it's got damage to the o/s rear and dinks and little dents all over. It's totally repairable but I've lost all interest in it and it's just sat on my drive.

Hi Scott, great catch, well done N6 JMX

Me again, Is my gear knob supposed to be lit-up at night when the car lights are turned on ? Only I can hardly see the design anymore (showing the gear positions) as the numbers are quite worn, although it doesn't bother me personally my wife says it's annoying as she doesn't drive it much so can never remember (as they are different to her car). Many Thanks, Les

Hi everyone, The rear parking sensors on my 2009 X-Type no longer beep when reversing close to something. (The front ones work if I click the switch located above the rear-view mirror). Have watched a couple of Youtube videos but non the wiser. Any ideas ? Could it be a dirty connector or something ? Many Thanks, Les

So after a few phone calls this morning i've got a JLR mechanic fixing the car next friday.He knew exactly what was wrong with it when i told him the code and told me it's a very common fault on the 2.0d Igneium engine and that it could have been worse if i hadn't caught the problem now.£600 including vat and thats parts supplied too which i thought wasn't bad...Pentland JLR wanted £178+ vat just for the part alone.I'll updated this thread when the work has been done.
