Hi. Sorry for the late reply. Did you manage to sort insurance? Regards, Dan.

As an aside, when it stalls, does it stutter to a halt like it has fuel starvation? Does it stall when sitting at tick over, or when driving? N6 JMX

I’ve had my Jaguar XK8 convertible for 22 years. Recently, it has started stalling after about five miles - after 5 mins, it will restart and then drive for about half a mile then stall again etc etc Can anyone please give me some advice where I could get it fixed (near Nottingham). Any help much appreciated

Are you interested in selling 1 or more Callistos .

@N6 JMX yeah i thought that looked fairly loose, im thinking to try a cheap replacement there and see if it improves/reduces the noise, if so, then get the official ones to put on, I checked the mount (rubber circle mounts) and they are in solid condition, will share an update on replacing that back hanger, see if that helps!

Hi Jay, well the rearmost hanger definitely looks shot, so replacing that would be a first step I reckon. Not so sure as to why the rattling ceases when you clamp the gap in the hanger back together. Unless there is a metal to metal contact point somewhere in the same area. N6 JMX

I'm reaching out to the community for some insights into an issue I've been facing with my 2016 Jaguar XF. Recently, I've noticed a rattling noise coming from the exhaust system, and upon inspection, it appears there is a crack near one of the rubber hangers, and the hangers themselves seem worn out. I've taken a video of the rattling sound and a few photos of the affected area. I would greatly appreciate any advice on whether this is something I might be able to fix myself, such as replacing the hangers, or if it looks like a more serious issue that needs professional attention. Has anyone experienced something similar? What would be your recommended approach to resolving this rattle? Any suggestions or recommendations would be hugely appreciated!

Hi Vic, The vacuum suggestion is good, I know the rubber diaphragms can split and there is a repair kit available. I will test it first, assuming I can find them. Tried replacing the batteries with no change, my power supply has arrived so hopefully tomorrow I can wire up the car and use SDD to verify the fob. Onwards and upwards.

Hi Jim, That really is very helpful. Thank you so much. A.

Hi Andrew, the service regime on a Modern XK falls into 2 categories, A and B service options and are time or mileage dependent, whichever comes first. In the notes below it is time in months / mileage. A Services: 12/15, 36/45, 60/75, 84/105, 108/135 and so on. B Services: 24/30, 48/60, 72/90, 96/120, 120/150 and so on. Some service items are time dependent and some are mileage dependent and it is quite difficult to be overly specific regarding a car that is not doing the mileage, but being serviced annually on the time element. Spark plugs are listed to be renewed at the A Service for 105k miles. Also at 105k miles, the Supercharger belt should be replaced - obviously only for the Supercharged cars. At 150k miles, the front accessory belt should be renewed. There is a caveat against the Service items above that these 3 items are specifically Mileage related and not defined by time. Generally speaking, every annual Service should see the Renewal of the Oil and oil Filter, plus Renewal of the Pollen Filter. Every second Service, the B Service, then the Brake Fluid should be renewed. Hope this helps. N6 JMX
