So just to update, having fully charged the battery the issue with restricted performance is still occurring. Some of the codes have disappeared which may be due to the battery or some of the work I have been applying to the car. I have cleaned the earth points in the boot, under both front wing liners, and behind front N/S light. Does anyone know of any more? I am working through SDD and its pointing towards ABS issue, am planning to change all 4 sensors this week. Any other advice or suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks for the reply. I am sure it is rain water it only leaks when it rains but don`t know why it comes through the air vents under the passenger seat. I have tried a hose pipe but it does not leak. I don`t know why. I must admit that I hardly use me jaguar not been in it this year. I run it every month to make sure all is okay. There is no sunroof it`s not that. Will keep looking and let you know if I solve the problem.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I must admit that I rarely use my jaguar and I assume that the car needs to be running for the AC system for water to build up and come out of the vents under the passenger seat. But I will check that when I run the engine for a while and let you know.

Sorry to hear of your troubles. a terrible thing to happen, hope you can find some solution. I have no idea what is happening when you have a failure like you had, perhaps it would be stuck in the gear it was in at the moment of failure, I just don't know. If it was a catastrophic failure in the engine and/or gearbox I s'pose at that point it doesn't really matter, it's going to be a major repair either way. There is a fairly easy way to release the run of the mill stuck in Park problem, it will be in the Drivers Manual or you'll find many " how to " on line If it's just a simple problem ( ie flat battery, faulty brake light switch etc. ) Sadly it seems that you may have more of a problem than this, good luck with a fix.

Hi. If the gear selector was to fail on Jaguar Xf 3.0d v6 x260 2017 with 50k on the clock, while driving. What effect could this have on the engine ? The D was flashing during the total lost of power. This all happened within 20/30 seconds of lost of power. Reason for the enquiry is my car engine sized up with no warnings. The gear selector was stuck in park and couldn’t be moved. The rear wheels wouldn’t move even after releasing the break catch release under the bonnet. My independence Jaguar specialist garage is informed me the electric break was broken. Any help or advice would be appreciated. With thanks

Hi Thanks for your reply. Service has always been carried out by dealership Barr the last one. 80k service, believe this includes the oil change carried out by the dealership at 37299 miles 7-2022. 96k service carried out 46k In December 2023. By independent garage, only repairs Jaguar cars, 30 years experience, trained by Jaguar at the start of his career. Car’s mileage is at 50k now. From my research this isn’t a rare issue. It’s how to prove there is it a problem with the engine, will cost 2-3k to strip the engine to find the cause. What was strange was the flashing of the D during the break down and unable to move the gear nob from park. Rear wheels locked. This was after releasing the brake under the bonnet. Garage told me the brake release was broken. Not sure if this in anyway is connected combined with the flashing D on the dash Any info would be appreciated. With thanks

Sorry in advance if this has been covered before! This is my 15th Jaguar (2007 2.7 diesel) I keep leaving the lights on and would like to know if it should have a warning chime. I don't actually get any audible warnings at all ,only parking sensors. Please help as my neighbour is getting a little annoyed ------- -- at letting me know.

My 2014 Jaguar XFR 5litre V8 510 HP Supercharged in Metallic British Racing Green is looking for a new owner! The car drives like a new car with just 67,000 miles on the clock. I have been in possession of this beast for just over 3 years and can say it behaves perfectly in all conditions. The traction control is superb as is the general ride. There has been 1 previous owner and there is full service history from the day it was first registered. I am looking for £15,500 or near offer - to a good home! The car is in the M26 area of Manchester. Please call me on 07971 559094 if you are interested. Oh, it’s back on its original DVLA Registration number as the private plate has been reassigned.

Welcome Ellen, sounds like you have the beginnings of a "collection" there. N6 JMX

Hi All, New girl here from the West Midlands. New to the site but not to Jaguar. Just picked up an F-Pace, but had my XF for the past 8 years. Many Thanks Ellen

Please note that when you replace the battery, you will need to "tell the car" that a new battery has been installed. This allows the battery control module to reset the alternator charging rates. This is achieved via the OBD port and a plugged in suitable code reader, which most garages should be able to undertake. N6 JMX

Hi again Jim, My own car is an XKR Convertible and possibly one of the most photographed cars in the UK - it is in quite a rare colour scheme and always attracts attention at shows / outings. I parked on my local High Street last week when I was off for a haircut and came back an hour later with several folks standing around admiring the car. Everyone wanted to chat about it. So, the the answer to your initial question is YES, Jaguar did make a convertible version of the New XK (X-150) and the chassis is stiff enough to allow full use of the 510PS in my car. I have no intention of changing my car so next car specification is not relevant, I have exactly what I want and it is going to be growing old with me - already owned it for 12 years. There are around 10 good XK Convertibles for sale on the JEC Classifieds site at the moment and I would suggest you have a look there to see if anything catches your eye. Link is: jec.org.uk/classifieds/index.php?page=cars-for-sale&pg=1&category=1608 I live a bit too far away from you to assist in the physical purchase of a car, but if you want to PM me regarding any specific car you have an interest in, I will see what I think.

Again thanks for the advice I still have a hankering for a convertible, did Jaguar do one? If so was the chassis stiff enough to handle the grunt of the supercharged motor. What is the spec for your next car? Best regards Jim
