Hi Steven, have you checked the fuses and, most importantly, the earth point for the offending items. Sounds very much like a bad earth connection point, probably corrosion at this time of year. N6 JMX

Hi Desmond We are going to need a bit more information.... Regards John

Ad blue problem

Washer pump not working, it only getting 4 V and my front driver side front lamp not working, took it to my local garage two days later they said go and find a Jag specialist, I live in Derbyshire. I could do with some good advice?

Hi Ross, good progress. Your photos are too much of a close-up. Need a wider area shot to get better context. Hard to pinpoint the area you are talking about from the detail shots. N6 JMX

I have an idea that if they refurbed the keys did they replace the key body? If they did there are two transceivers within the key body. Missing out the PATS transceiver would result in being unable to link with the car.

I've found the source of the leak in the inside of the boot. However it is above the light cluster and boot slam vents. It's coming in between two metal joins but on the outside of the boot there is no join in that area. Are there any known areas of water ingress from the top side of the boot it might be travelling down?

Hello. I'm from Lithuania. So I apologize, because I write a lot with google translate. We bought a Jaguar xf, 2009, 3.0 petrol. 175kW. Everything was great for 6 months, but recently there has been a problem that it throws out of gear. When starting to move in "R" for about 1 meter, "P" switches on with a crack. The selector indicator remains "R", only it flashes. Then you need to switch to "N" or "P" to be able to move. If you start from "D", also after moving a little, "D" starts flashing and you find yourself in "N". The revs can be raised, but the car stands still. This is not an everyday problem, sometimes we can drive without problems for a whole week, and sometimes I can't move from the yard. I have scanned errors with LAUNCH and got the code U0405-8f invalid data received from speed control module. I checked the abs sensors and I sometimes get all these problems while standing. I'll explain, I start the car, turn on "R" and don't move anywhere, after 15-20 seconds with a click "R" flashes, and it feels like the box has switched to "P" Thanks for your thoughts, guesses and advice. Forgive me if any of the expressions are incorrect. Age is no longer the same as learning :)

REGISTRATION IS SD62UTE, private plate has now been removed. For sale is my 2012 Jaguar XJ 3.0 Supercharged petrol Portfolio. It's been superbly looked after and is an exceptional example. The rare supercharged ULEZ/CAZ compliant engine provides a brilliant combination of performance and economy. The car is one of the best colour combinations; British Racing Green with Ivory and grey piped leather interior. Being a Portfolio it's a fantastic spec with heated and cooled seats both front and rear, Meridian Surround sound system, panoramic moon roof, 20 inch alloys, adaptive Xenon headlights, suede headliner, dual view TV in the front, digital dashboard, rear reverse camera and 4 way climate control. I have owned the car for 18 months and am only selling due to increased work mileage. The car has been meticulously maintained with full main dealer and specialist history, and in the last 12 months I have spent over 5,000 ensuring it wants for nothing, including: Air suspension compressor Full discs and pads all round Water pump and Y-pipe (known weakness on these engines - now done for peace of mind) New caster arm bushes Two new rear tyres Major service in May 2025 Car is in fantastic condition inside and out, with just one nick in the rear passenger side wheel which I've pictured. £9,495

hello Jim, It is just the satnav and all 3 garages have played around endlessly with the disc player, to no avail. I like the idea of hooking up my Android 'phone to get Maps etc, so I will check out Cartonics etc. Thanks for your advice, I'll let you know how I get on.

Yes, new one fixed all issues thanks

Hi Jason, as far as I know, all of the original functionality remains with the Cartronics set up, uses the existing display screen just adds additional capability. If you have now joined the XKCC, the website has a couple of reviews of both Cartronics and Mr 12 Volt systems, check them out. On the tyres question on your other post: Dunlop and Pirelli are the "development" tyre brand for the XKR and you are correct in wanting to ditch the Continentals, never been happy with cars with those fitted. Plus, any tyre over 5 years old these days is suspect on something with +500 BHP. N6 JMX

Thank you Adrian and Joe for your responces to my query. I am exploring the "separate module/antenna for the for the remotes" approach to see if i can find what needs repairing / replacing.

Hi Jason For me as long as the Continentals are as good as you indicate (check the sidewalls for any cracking / damage) as long as they are not too old I would leave them there and save the £950 for those inevitable bills. The tyre age is stamped into the sidewall as 4 digits. First 2 digits give the week number and final 2 digits the year, so 4018 would be week 40 of 2018. Enjoy your new toy. John

Hi All, I just wanted to say thanks for all your comments, they’ve been very helpful. Thanks, Nigel

Well here we are February 26, and the car is fixed, After being at 3 garages, a new alternator and a new battery and fuel sensor's ! turns out when they removed ECM as they think it faulty. Below there was a corroded wire rubbing on the body work,, striped and replaced. Cars back,, Thanks to, “in car tunes “Seaton Delaval, just took him 3hr

I have reluctantly sold my XJL, sad to see it go but common sense prevailed and the world is full of cars looking for a new home. So for the time being I am not a Jaguar Owner….. but watch this space !

To add, car has done 6K in last 5 years, so good chance current have persished a little...

Sorry not replied ,yes have been to see jagutek car is booked in and looking forward to getting to know them . So thank you indeed LairdScooby !

Hi All Second post, so still need to be gentle with me 🙂 So, been doing a fair amount of research onto the best boots for my 2011 XKR-S... General consensus seems to be Mich Pilot Sport 4S (happy for people to say otherwise!)... Suspect current tyres on newly purchased car (with stage 1 remap, so think about 570HP) have a really decent set of Continental tyres, suspect 6-8mm tread depth... So, my question/s are: 1) Will the Pilot Sport 4S be the 'night and day' change that some posts {elsewhere} have inidcated, at about £950 for 4 new boots? Any comments from people who have actaully switched would be good (I appear to have a heavy right foot, grip is currently, err, you know!) 🙂 2) Is there a second hand market for 255/35/R20 Y + 295/30/R20 Y? Here, or elsewhere, as if tread depth is good on current, seems a shame to bin em (for me and the planet) Am paying for leather restoration, indpendent Jab inspection, and full 4/5 day detail (car is 2011, mint, straight, but the black is maybe a bit 'dull' now)... If I can pay £1,200 for the detail / ceramic, I can pay £950 for new tyres, but binning decent tyres just doesn't feel right... {Retirement lump sums are burning a hole in my pocket, turned 55 late Jan... Had a IRR XKR-S 2013-15, sold when I brought a house, always promised myself I'd get one back one day 😉) Cheers all! Jason

Hi N6 Been away for a few days... The Cartronics one looks like a head unit retrofit, will research if this removes any functionality, whereas think the Mr12Volt one utilises the current screen, need to do some research 🙂 Have signed up to XKCC, hope to make meet later in year, maybe we'll get to say hello! Cheers again Jason

Please could i have a contact number.

Thanks for the reply. I managed to get an ali express special in carbon fibre.

Hi Dennis Did you reply to the questions from Paul I can't see the thread. Regards Mike.
