Hi all, had various cats over years and looking now at a XJC…….oooh exciting! I’m amazed how rust free it is which I know is rare! Question……it “ only” has the rear “Hardtop” part not the “ Canvas” part, I’ve had a quick search but it’s looking like around grand….. anyone know of any second hand ones around? If I purchase…I’ll be back!

Hi Neal and welcome. Lovely looking car 🙂 As a starter I would suggest you acquire a trickle charger to keep the battery topped up and if the battery is at all suspect, or over 5 years old, I would replace it as lots of those "surprise electrical issues" are the result of low battery voltage. Good luck with your custody of the old cat 🙂 John

No doubt the usual sorta things. Electrical stuff. Windows, side rear mirror adjusters, no odometer, gas gauge are the most egregious at the moment.

Hello folks. New to Jaguars. A friend entrusted us with the care and feeding of his '87 Jaguar XJ6. With no owners manual and the previous owner's fading and failing memory, I'm a bit out to sea so have tons of questions and minor, surprise, electrical issues I would love to be able to resolve. Thus, joining this forum. We are located in the Pacific NW of the US. Thanks, hope to learn a bunch, like what kind of oil to use and such. .

Many thanks will do

Hi. If you have any issues with insurance in the future for the vehicle due to it being a cat N then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan,

Thanks for info. I see someone else on more recent poist al;so asking for this. I will try to do same

Has anyone replaced the complete dash top on the x250 . Mine has suffered the dreaded heat bubble. And lifting. But have managed to get a 2nd hand one in mint condition. Now just need to swap it out

Just had my 2007 2.7d s written off due to a minor front wing dent. (See pic) didn't let her go though. Cat N uneconomic to repair( joke) would rather pay me the best part of 2k than spend £350 to repair( quoted by a local body shop) i have used before and do vintage restorations. Only problem now is car will remain on insurance list as a cat N.. insurance company must have an ongoing deal with copart. As they text me to ask when they could collect the car. Told them never. Anyone else had this happen

Still have the panels. Do not want the scrappy to have them and take them to be crushed.

Here are some options on the CKP : https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=jaguar+f+pace+crank+position+sensor&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2332490.m570.l1313 Can't find the other sensor you mention using your description on ebay but if you try the other usual suspects such as Amazon, ECP and so on you'll probably find one.

Hi all, New to the club, but have wanted an F pace for a long time , albeit it I'm repairing a damaged car! 😕, I have 2 fault codes , P0715 input/turbine speed sensor and P2617 crankshaft position signal output circuit/open, Questions are, are they expensive, and would I be able to change them myself?, Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😊👍

Hi Nicholas, suggest you talk to the folks at SNG Barrett for more insight, but be aware that they also will want to sell you the parts. The best person I know to ask about the upgrade to this type of Jaguar is Ken Jenkins, who trades his garage as Carlton Autos Ltd. Website link below.

Hi Mark, not exactly in London, but I have heard good things about Cotswold Automotive Parts (CAP) in Oxfordshire, who have repaired a number of electronic faults on members cars in the past. Website link below: Jaguar & Land Rover parts and accessories | Bicester N6 JMX

Hi Ade, welcome to the Forum and sounds like you have a plan in mind for your Jaguar. Not sure that red leather in the XF was ever an option but I am sure others with more knowledge will be along soon. If it wasn't an "off the shelf" choice from new, you may have to get creative and go for a full retrim of the seats. In the meantime, you could try a few of the specialised Jaguar Breakers, like Autoreserve or Eurojags, they would seem like the most appropriate option for now. N6 JMX

after changing inlet manafolds .the red light and restricted mod comes on 2010 xfs ..

I have a 1958 XK150. What experience do members have of converting to e-ignition please.

Hi All, Need some help please ! The rear window from my XKR convertible became detached from the canvas and I didnt realise. After a number of months I could start the car, but the handbrake was stuck on...so I had it lifted onto a flat bed and taken to a Jaguar dealership where they said a number of modules had been flooded in the back and I needed a new canvas. So now the car is back and running again, with a new canvas, but the dealership said they could not source a new module for controlling bringing the roof up and down, but assured me that it works as they swapped one in for another car for testing but would not install a second hand one as they said they couldnt warranty it. So now I need a specialist jaguar servicing place somewhere near south west London that can change this module and finally bring my XKR back to its full capabilities....any suggestions please ? Thank you all in advance for any help you can provide. Mark

Thanks Jim. Probably my fault I usually charge the battery every week during the winter months but missed a few. Like you said i put it on charge immediately and we ar back to normal. Thanks again.

Hi I am new to the club. I want to put a red leather interior into my car can anyone help source one. Thanks Adrian

I've found a lot of YT posters do a "Part 1" and "Part 2" to increase their views. Might be worth tapping on the posters ID pic and then "Videos" to see if there's another in their collection explaining the refill procedure. It's different for many models in the Jaguar range so i don't want to mention the method i know in case i send you on a wild goose chase.

That’s very true. Luckily I get access to a Motor club at work, which has 4 post ramps and everything a mechanic could wish for Christmas. I’ve found a video of how to remove the fluid, but struggling to find one about how to put the new fluid in.

You'll know! 😉 Joking aside, if you drip some of the removed fluid onto a piece of plain white kitchen roll or toilet paper, you'll see the true colour and how much dirt is in there. Once it remains as clean as the new fluid (very slight discolouration may happen) then you know it's clean fluid and the 3-4 part-changes have done their job. Then do a part-change every 12 months/12000 miles to keep it fresh. Some people refer to this as a "sump-dump change" so you can search YouTube for it for an XKR and get an idea of what exactly is involved. Then you can decide if you're capable of doing it. I'd say it's easy enough but as we all know, what's easy for one person isn't for another. I'm absolutely useless with software and artistic painting but those who can do say it's easy enough..........

I will check thank you. So to clarify, you recommend part fluid change every couple hundred miles, over a full change? Silly question, but how will I know when all the fluid has been changed? Is this something that’s easily done myself?
