OK 

I have just bought a 2003 diesel Sport and have a few issues i am sure someone can help me with

1 speedo only works occasionally and then slowly drops to 0mph everything else seems to work

2 The temp gauge only reaches about 1/4 even in good weather

3 Starter motor occasionally fails to engage but then works fine

 

Any advice would be awesome

car has done 83000

cheers

Craig

Craig,

 

Is the battery in good order ?

 

ATB,

 

Trevor

battery seems fine just occasionally fails to engage and grinds but then usually catches second time and spins no problem

Hi Craig.

 

I am not advertising, but I had my s type 2.7 diesel Terracleaned over a month ago and it has made the world of a difference, both in performance and economy.  And my engine has only done 35,000 miles.

 

Look it up on Google before making your mind up.

Low temp there are two thermostats on the jag check the oil thermostat

Welcome to the club, Carl.

 

That is a useful bit of information.

 

There are a lot of friendly people in the club who will always assist others & that is what the club is about.

 

Great to have you aboard.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

if its the 2.2 diesel same as mondeo there is 2 thermostats one that went on mine is under the intake manifold easy to remove but be prepared for a clean up job the inside of that manifold will be rammed with oily cr*p
