Hi Robert Did you manage to sort this issue?

XE petrol, 250hp, auto, (X760) 2018, only done 32K. Whilst driving back from Southampton in the UK, battery and charging system error pops up on dashboard. A/C stops working so I turn it off. Charging message disappears. Turn A/C on again, still not working but charging error reappears. I start to smell something hot, burning. Got close to home and engine overheating warning pops up. Lots of blue smoke behind car. Reverse into my driveway and stop engine. Serious amount of smoke, lift bonnet and coolant bubbling away. Left vehicle alone for about 3 hours to allow it to cool down. Returned to the car and found the problem straight away. Crankshaft pulley has become detached from its hub and the grooved outer part has slipped forwards. The charging, A/C and water pump were not being driven by the slipping grooved outer part of the pulley. So, that's the problem. I'm quite capable of doing the work myself but there is a lack of information in the form of workshop manuals or even my usual goto, YouTube. Can anyone offer advice or direct me to a source of material that would step me through the process of swapping the crankshaft pulley on an XE Sport 250?

Could somebody advise me on the rough value please ?

Dear Owners, I am looing to make some front bumper brackets for my Jaguar. Looks like no one sells them any more. I am looking to take some photos and measurements of exists model so I can make the brackets myself. I live about 15miles south of Doncaster (Everton DN10 5BN). If there is anyone within a reasonable radius who have a 1962-64 ML2 3.4 or 3.8l who wouldn't mind me taking some measurements of the brackets it would be greatly appreciated. Alternative does anyone have dimensions drawings. The brackets are 3 pieces on each side. Item 9 on the diagram. Many thanks

Hi, Try as my garage may, they reset the service due indication, see the 'in progress' and 'completed' message and after a couple of days, up it pops again! And the same thing happens when I try to reset it with open bonnet, open drivers door, throttle and brake pedal etc, 'in progress' and 'completed' but a couple of days later, back comes the service due message. Ideas and options most welcome - please. 🤔😆😒

Photo of actual pump, black band which i think denotes something so need to check if its dual polarity.

Hi. Can rear brake pads be changed without having to place car in service mode because of electronic hand brake. Hope someone can help. Thanks Sorry forgot to mention it a xe r sport 2.0l diesel 2017

Ha think i just realised that photo is the fuel sensor unit not the pump. Thats why 3 wires, pump must be underneath, silly boy. Will have a look tomorrow.

If you have a friendly local Jaguar Dealer, though scarce on the ground, you can get a code from there associated with your VIN. Alternatively, there are any number of scam artists on the interweb offering to unlock radio codes. N6 JCM

I'm looking to sell my convertible Jaguar XK8. It's 2000 reg but only 29k miles. I can't find anything of similar mileage on autotrader. How best to value it, and where would be best to advertise it? Thank you.
