hi front lights and front indicators not working no lights on the dash and no warning on dash no main beam no interior lights the boot release button also not working can anyone help me what to look at thank you

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll get on it! I've seen a lot of info about SDD, sounds like i'll be investing. Genuinely though, if it takes getting someone over then I'll do it. The car is too pretty for it to be left not running!

howdy, welcome to the fold

hey, i've seen somehwere someone had same issue, but xf if memory serves right. he removed front seat completely to make more space, undid door card screws, popped it all around hen just wiggled door card out. not sure if it's possible on x type, but food for thought. let us know how you get on

blimey, seems bit drastic to just disconnect cluster and then 'loosing' it completely - there must have been more to this than only disconnect 'issue' (not saying of your doing) 😐 your best option is to get SDD software and let someone program it remotely - this way you won't need anyone to fly over 😉 if you are on facebook, join jaguar forums, there's programming magician Sul Jay, i'm sure he will help. let us know how you get on.

Hi just wondering if anyone can help both rear door handles stopped working, inside and outside my xtype, I know it's the actuator, but how can I get the door open to change it. Any ideas please.

Hi guys, I recently bought myself a really nice toy, 2011 5.0 XK. Excited with my new toy, was trying to sort all the little things to make it perfect and in a moment of idiocy, I've broke it. Properly. I removed the instrument cluster trying to see if I could get rid of the flashing AFS light and cure a little rattle at the same time. When I reconnected it, the cluster is blank and the car won't even try to start. Head unit, etc powers up but the instrument cluster is blank and the start button does nothing. From what I can figure and a basic scan tool, theres an error code about having lost communication with the cluster and it needs recoding to the car. So far, so stupid me - I get it, trying to bodge a fix and !Removed! things up more. But, I'm really stuck and need all the help I can muster from the community, because here's the twist... I work abroad. In Hong Kong. Which is where the car is. I've been in touch with the local main dealer who are not interesting in coming out to look at it - I tried having it recovered to them but the guy couldn't get his truck out the car park with the car on it. I can't find any local specialists, so right now I have a big Spectrum blue paperweight. I am open to absolutely anything now, including if I have to, putting someone on a plane to come out here and fix it. I just need to find someone on this Earth who knows what needs doing. So here I am, new to you, fingers crossed asking for any help at all.

This happened to my F type a few years ago on the ferry to France. Just use basic lock( One press )

what manual says?

As this post is now three years old, I assume these are long gone?

If memory serves, the locking nuts have a removable sleeve to allow the "key" to fit in the end of the nut. As such, the locking nut doesn't have the same tight fitting sleeve, just a relatively loose one. Funny (ish) story, i removed all 4 locking nuts on mine prior to replacing the tyres. In between removing each wheel and fitting a new tyre then refitting and then going to replace the locking nuts, i managed to lose the "key". That decided me, they'd be replaced with normal nuts. By strange coincidence, after fitting replacement wheels to my Honda, i lost the locking nut "key" and had to buy a locking wheel nut remover kit. Done one so far but the rest won't be long, been hoping the key would turn up............

Welcome to the forum 👍

Hi As we are soon to embark on a ferry crossing to France in our 2006 XJ6 TDiV6. Overnight Portsmouth - St Marlo so a long one How do I disable the alarm? Is it double press on the key fob? Use the key in the door lock? Is there a button to press inside then press lock on key fob? Leave unlocked? Last thing I want and the ships crew want is a Jag with a flat battery!

Hi Chris yes its one of a few preproduction prototypes which were registered in 2001, sure there were only a few registered in 2001, not all are still shown on the road I have a 2004 S-type R and love it, great cars and underated, mines been extremely reliable if you want any links to workshop manual and info let me know cheers Joe

Hi Got myself a 2006 metallic green XJ6 TDiV6 so will be about a bit asking questions....probably lots of them

Noticed some of the sleeves are a bit loose on a few nuts so gonna replace them with solid ones. Do the locking nuts suffer the same fate? TIA

Think you'll find it's Bik3rZ 😏 And thanks👍
