Haha I think I lost mine too! I think anything over £20,000 I would be open to discuss

Hi Nigel, I have the XKR Convertible and it is a great machine. I looked long and hard at the F-type Convertible, but nice as it is, it simply doesn't have the attributes that the XKR has and therefore is a non starter for my personal use of the car. We do like taking the XKR to Italy for a summer vacation and we can pack everything we need for the overnight stops into bags that fit on the rear seats, whilst the long stay requirements are tucked away in the boot. You simply cannot do that in the F-type - no rear seats for a start and probably only 50% of the boot space by comparison, and the XKR boot space is not that great to start with. I am sure folks will be along soon to extol the virtues of the F-type and how they make it work for these long road trips, but the F-type simply doesn't work for me. Let us know how your selection process goes along. N6 JMX

OK, hopefully I am not breaking any rules here (I know the UK government doesn't allow free speech 🙂 ) I am doing various jobs on my newly acquired S Type R and post on my channel JAGVETTE1 please check it out and if you like it please subscribe I do it for fun not profit, I make mistakes and I show them, I am a mechanic with more years of experience than I care to remember, BUT I know you are NEVER too old to learn. Thanks in advance Gary

OK, thanks for all the responses, you guys are great

Hi All, I’m looking for some advice. I have up to £25k to spend and want to buy an auto convertible (with electric roof) and some room in the boot for bags when the roof is down? Preferably with add-ons like parking sensors, sat nav etc. in your opinions would I be better looking for an XKR or an F-type, and any advice along the way? Many thanks Nigel

I have a 2003 s type 2.5 petrol automatic. I am trying to source gearbox coolant pipes to no avail. Jaguar being hacked hasnt helped either. Can anyone help. I have the part number. Tried all salvage yards in Northern Ireland and a set bought via Ebay leaked

The situation has worsened now as if I try to start the car in the morning, it spins over like crazy but won't start. If I then cycle the ignition on and off about 10 times then it will start straight away. My thinking was that perhaps the check valve in the tank fuel pump was leaking back but when I removed the delivery pipe from the pump, it was full and the fuel did not disappear from the outlet stub, indicating no leak-back. In any case, with the ignition on, the pump runs continuously so switching the ignition on/off shouldn't be the cure. This only happened before if I locked the car but now it happens locked or unlocked and depending on the length of time that it has not run determines the number of ignition cycles I have to make. If it is off for an hour then probably only two. I am still leaning towards a faulty immobiliser but would welcome any constructive comments.

Very nice! Now where did i put that winning lottery ticket? 😄 Joking aside, what is your idea of a "reasonable offer" as that is very much open ton interpretation?

Hi. If you have any issues with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan.

Owned my new Jaguar for 3 weeks , wasn't expecting a Jag to be my first car but something just felt right about it! It’s a Jaguar X type 3.0 v6 sovereign edition! If someone could maybe advise how rare these are (if they are in anyway!) and if they are sought after that would be great? As noticed not many for sale and registered , Happy to have joined!

Went for a long drive, steering much heavier in Dynamic mode at speed, checked all other suggestions, all OK, wife drove back, and she's happy, happy life, hope this helps.

First thing to do is read the codes. If the battery is indeed not charging then that will upset the engine manangement and many other things. It could be there's a short to earth in the warning light circuit which will cause this. There could be a number of other reasons for it as well, i'd suggest searching for a local Jag independent specialist and/or a good autoelectrician.

Hi, my " BATTERY NOT CHARGING " light comes on most times, I've had a new battery and alternator fitted but it still comes on, my mechanic has assured me the battery is charging although the warning light is still on, has anyone experienced this problem before or any tips on how to fix it?, many thanks Neil.

Handy to know iCarsoft JLR V2 will do an autobox reset - don't need to at the moment but useful to know.
