Hi Dalia, the link below will take you to the Jaguar Classic Parts website for your model and timing chain options. It looks like they may be available to order direct from JLR. Timing Chains And Adjusters | Jaguar Land Rover Classic Parts N6 JMX

Hi everyone, I’m looking to purchase a genuine timing chain kit for my Jaguar XJ with the V8 3996 cm³ engine (209 kW), model years 2003–2009. I’m specifically interested in a full original kit – timing chain, tensioners, and guides. It must be OE (Original Equipment)preferably from Jaguar/Land Rover directly. If anyone has experience or recommendations for trusted suppliers in the UK or Europe, I would be very grateful! Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards, Dalia

Hello M4ttD! If you are still considering a prospect Daimler or Jaguar car to become a Classic, suggest you go for my Classic Daimler 2008, Super8, Supercharged, V8 w/400 HP Sedan would be a better choice 🧐. Read Daimler Wikipedia for history of this brand and If interested in my Daimler and its background, please contact me at: [email protected]

The aircon on my XFR has been playing up. Was working fine one day and then no 'cooled' air output. It runs on 'auto' all year round, so thought that sudden refrigerant loss wasn't likely, but a re-gas was maybe worth a try. I thought that rather than do the 106 mile round trip to work to get it done, I would use someone local. This was a mistake, as on both occasions that we took it in for our appointment, the aircon machine malfunctioned ! I then took it into work, first try revealed that the system was only indicating a small amount of refrigerant loss, which was topped up. This didn't have any effect, a more detailed check diagnosed a failed compressor. Not the cheapest component to buy, JLR offer two options, 'new' on an exchange basis at approx £1025 plus a refundable surcharge for returning the old unit, or a re-manufactured unit for approximately £685 plus the same surcharge. I do get parts at cost, so would be significantly cheaper, but still a lot of money on a 2010 vehicle. The supercharger belt and serpentine belt are also meant to be changed at the same time, so there was this to factor in as well. I did some shopping around and eventually settled on this: https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/nrf/13865282?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=orderConfirmation&utm_term=link8&deep_link=orderConfirmation&kmtx_hash=eyJtaWQiOiJ1aWQtNjg0OWRhZmEzMThjMzEuNjg3Mjg1NzUiLCJob3N0IjoiYnV5Y2FycGFydHMuY28udWsiLCJ0eXBlIjoib3JkZXJDb25maXJtYXRpb24ifQ%3D%3D Under £250 with free delivery and a 2 year guarantee. Had it fitted earlier and now basking in blissfully cooled air ! Waiting for the bill for the belts and fitting but saved me about £225 compared to the re-manufactured unit, even at 'cost' price.

Thanks for that i dont know why i cant .

This is a common fault on the XK8 and here is a video showing you how to repair it.

I have a 2016 XF sport and I can scroll through the menu to tyre pressures mate

Pics, location, reg number, could prove useful for anyone interested.

When i go on menu and scroll to find vehicle info so i can check tyre pressure it doesnt give me that option i havethe xf sport 2020. .

Do you have this model when you open the menu can you scroll to vehicle info cause i cant.

Hi all, anyone purchased a 'boot bag' for luggage storage, that sits on the boot lid of an XK8? Thanks in anticipation

I have a xfs. Ive looked on youtube how to check tyre pressure but i dont seem to have the vehicle info so i wondered if this was not an option on the sport model or if this is a fault on mine.

Hi All, Greetings from Ireland! Long story but over the past 3 years I've struggled with the air suspension on my 2005 XJ Sovereign, standard wheelbase. Firstly a compressor replacement, then a front ride height sensor and 2 front air springs in January 25 because in Ireland here for the roadworthiness test they do a side to side measurement on the shock absorbers to check they are in balance (30% imbalance is the fail level) and last month 2 rear ride height sensors because one was throwing a fault code and the car sitting 1" to 1 1/2" too high. Sensors fitted but still too high and after deflating completely took 8 hours to reflate and is now still too high. Then last Friday a loud bang and we thing the left rear bag has blown out. The front springs were aftermarket (probably Chinese) and admittedly cheap but rode hard when installed. I have been told that aftermarket air springs can cause spurious faults with the air suspension system but I'm not buying OEM Jaguar front ones at horrendous cost. So essentially I've had it with the air suspension and want to fit the coil replacements. I've driven myself distracted by researching on the internet what to replace them with. All of the options seem to be US or Chinese based - are their none in Europe to buy? I know there are numerous posts on this in all forums but a lot of advice stretches back 10 years sometimes and I can't find any recent 'where to buy' recommendations. I don't want a super duper set, just reliable old springs and the ability to switch off the air suspension warnings for the roadworthiness test (any orange light or dashboard warning is a fail condition here in Ireland). It's a 2005 MY. I'd like it to ride nice and comfortable, it's not a corner carver or a track machine, I've Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO 235/50 R18 101V XL tyres all round if that's relevant - it rains a lot here and it rides nice on those. But I have to say I do see the value in a set with adjustable damping/ valving and spring height - if it isn't going to cause the Jaguar to fail inspection as a too-modified car. All advice gratefully received please! Thanks Nick

I have similar problem, maybe not as annoying. I checked all door and window seals, nothing visible so decided to live with it.
