Hi, is this still available? Sorry, just noticed the date.

Did you ever get a diagnosis for this fault? Been having the same issue, oil level ok but the light came on and the engine died and no one can diagnose the issue.

How much are you asking for the wheels? thanks,need a quick reply

Further investigation reveals I DO have the flexi hoses feeding to the calipers! The caliper end terminates in the square fitting through which the banjo bolt goes into the caliper. It's this bolt I'm having trouble sizing, anyone got any suggestions please? Cheers....

Just another thought Jim. My 2006 2,7 Diesel..... Reason why it is a non runner. Driving along suddenly I heard an unusual warning sound.... short sharp beeping and then the car just stopped and went dead. Transported back to my garage it seemed beyond them to work out the problem even after a diagnostics check and they thought it must be an ECU problem. However there was seemingly no one who could undertaken the checking of the ECU as the car was too old...???? However the rear brakes had locked and the car was immovable per say. I had heard on the grapevine that can happen and there is some electronic stuff in the boot which can be identified as the culprit and then `adjusted` to free the wheels where then the car should start. Sounds oversimplified but it may well be the case. Is this something you have come across Jim and may know of the likely `fix` I would love to get this old girl back on the road as I was very attached to it. Kind Regards Mike

Hi Ian Yes here she is, now I've got original wheels taking up space in my bedroom. It makes getting up in the dark very tricky.

Hi Mikey My 2013 Sportbrake had same issue after I let the battery go flat in the first Covid Lockdown. Mine was sorted under warranty from a non-jaguar main dealer (they had Jaguar main dealers in their group who apparently talked them through the process). It is a relatively easy fix if the garage know what to do, or very expensive if you go to Jag dealer who want to just change the Central Junction Box. If you search on here ("Autologic" in the search tool) there are a couple of companies in the midlands who are experts and sort it really quickly and cheaply. Apparently they need the Autologic Diagnostics. Good Luck John

I live in Querétaro, Mexico and I follow your videos, here I can't get spare parts to repair a transmission bw model 66 for an XJ6, 1985, do you know if a transmission can be adapted from a more modern car and what it could be, thanks for your comments, greetings

Hi all. I replaced the battery in my 2013 xf 3.0d now my rear doors dont work of the key, rear windows dont go up or down, mirrors dont fold when locking (checked the settings are on for it to do it) does anyone have any solutions? thanks

A small word of warning on the use of the one touch fob button for roof raise and lower. Whilst it is a nice trick, the recommendation is NEVER raise or lower the roof of a convertible without the engine running. i.e. don't rely on the battery to do the work. Batteries in the X-150 have a hard life and I have always recommended that the battery be replaced at 5 years old. Many, many spurious faults arise from a poor battery and in today's world, the ability to start the car is not the best indication of its health.
