Hi Steve, try emailing Jaguar Customer Services: [email protected]

I'm pretty sure someone has asked this before .... can anyone tell me how to get the original build sheet for my 2004 XK8 convertible, there must be a way. Thanks in advance.

Hi all my f-pace has a really strange issue so recently the engine management light came on I have a pal who works for a motoring organisation who connected his computer to the obd port which flagged up a faulty cam position sensor. He cleared the fault but we noticed that after locking the car the hazard triangle and the 2 front door lock lights stayed on resulting in a flat battery we’ve been monitoring this problem for a couple of weeks now. So in summary if I don’t clear the fault the battery is fine but as soon as we clear the fault the car won’t shut down after it’s locked resulting in a flat battery the following morning. I have bought a new battery and it has been in to a main dealer where they monitored it for 48 hours they used I believe it’s called a peakascope that basically said that everything was shutting down as it should..hoping someone can shead some light on this problem for me,thanks Tony

Not that familiar with the diesel engines but usually temp sensors are on the head, usually one or the other near the thermostat housing. If you had dislodged something there's a fair chance the gauge wouldn't be working at all and you'd have error codes flashing at you on the instrument panel.

Ok thanks for that tip I’ll give it a go. Out of interest where would the temp sensor be situated? Wondering if I’ve dislodged something if it’s external to the main block etc

It does sound as if you have a weak thernostat there Jason but you are quite correct, DPF regeneration doesn't normally occur until the engine reaches a minimum temperature. Often what works is manually selecting a lower gear to drive in and drive at motorway speeds in that gear so the revs are much higher than normal for the speed. This should also bring the engine temperature up a bit.

These guys are well respected and worth a call: https://www.prestigejaguar.com

Driving around in the city with all the traffic stops/starts and slow momentums my 2019 XF gets to temperature (on the digital gauge) and stays there, but within 10 minutes of dual carriageway or motorway speed the temperature dial drops down to the 'blue' on the dial and just hovers there. Also noticed the stop/start is not kicking in. How is one supposed to clear out the DPF if the temperature isn't correct. Otherwise all things relative, car purring like the cat it is 👌 Any pointers really welcome, thanks.

I had the same problem, there is a water hose at the rear of the engine which you can reach from under the car if you remove the engine bay floor pan. Tricky but doable.

Thank very helpfull

Thanks for the clarification, it will now be removed as I prefer my cars as they came out the factory 🙂

Hope the Nail Varnish worked, mine is still as good as the day it was applied. Anyway another question i have re boot badgees

Does anyone have a contact in the Glasgow area please for a cylinder head gasket change on a V8 Jaguar XK8 engine?

Hi Ian, The XF Sportbrake (Estate) is a great car and really spacious - my daughter has one. In my opinion, go for the petrol engine, unless you plan on travelling over 15,000 miles a year in it. The petrol engines are so much more refined than the equivalent diesel and you should have nil worries about Low Emission Zone compliance. Highest specification is always a target, maximum number of toys, etc. although they are generally well appointed. Come back if you have anything specific you need to check, otherwise happy hunting and let us see the photos when it arrives. N6 JMX

Hi Paul, the stick-on Jaguar at the boot came as standard with the facelifted body style, in 2012 MY I believe. That is when the front wing vents went from vertical to horizontal. Fitting the Leaper to the boot lid is / was a simple DIY task, but on a 2010 MY car, it shouldn't be there. N6 JMX

Hi all, For information, the Climate Control Unit module (passenger footwell) was defective. Impossible to reach screws, so just cable tied replacement unit to defective unit. Mike

Hope the Nail Varnish worked, mine is still as good as the day it was applied. Anyway another question I have re boot badges, I have seen a number of XK150 (various manufacturing dates) and not all of them have the leaping Jag on the boot lid like mine. Is this standard on a 2010 XKR 5.0ltr Supercharged Convertible?

Have a great trip.

Hi all I am a new member and just wanted to say hi all. I am thinking of buying an xf estate in the next six months or so and would like to know what model to choose, any advice would be helpful. Thank you all and a merry Xmas.

....also I would check the age of your "new" tyres. Code for date is last 4 digits following DOT on the sidewall, first two are the week number and last two the year. So 0101 would show tyres made in the first week of 2001. If your code is 3 figures they are older than 2000 so are downright dangerous! https://btmauk.com/2021/01/26/dot-code-celebrates-50-year-anniversary/ Regards John

Hi I was looking under my bonnet the other day and it looked rather clinical with that big plastic shroud getting in the way. have any of you guys livened things up in this region and have you any photographs to give me some ideas
