XKR - My First Problem

Recommended Posts

After picking up my car yesterday the daylight today gave me my first chance to look over it and get used to the controls etc.

 

I have come across a problem in that I cannot locate the locking wheel nut. I have searched all the usual places glove box, armrest, door pockets, spare wheel and associated tools etc to no avail therefore, I'm assuming its been mislaid somewhere in its life.

 

I will obviously be calling the dealer who sold me the car in the hope he can shed any light but am not to hopeful of a result there.

 

I had a similar problem with a Mercedes many years ago and after contacting the dealer I was informed that Mercedes only made X amount of different patterns and if I called to the garage they had the full set and would match it up for me.

 

I did so and true to their word they found the correct fit and ordered me a new one.

 

Doe's anyone know if Jaguar are as efficient i.e. only having so many patterns etc or if anyone have experienced the same problem?

 

Thank you in anticipation of any assistance.

Hello

Hope your enjoying your R apart from the locking wheel nut tool, about that I'm certain they do as if work at vauxhall and we have two master sets of locking wheel nut tools, best to enquire really

You won't believe this Anthony but I rang the dealer who sold me the car the very next day following posting my problem and he explained that they had the rear near side wheel off to change a baring and to take a look and see if the locking wheel nut tool was still attached as they have had this problem in the past. I expressed that I had driven the car some 160 miles home so the chances of the tool still being attached were less than slim but checked anyway. Sure enough it was still attached, I couldn't believe it. I've taken the locking wheel nuts off now and replaced them with ordinary nuts having had problems with locking wheel nuts/bolts in the past and the car will be living in a alarmed garage anyway with very little public parking.

Glad to hear you got it sorted, you should have done the lottery that night being as your luck was in to still have the tool attached after 160 miles, guessing it was all motorway miles though, just keep an eye on them though as some scumbags will try anything to mess with someone's pride and joy

I Know what you are saying however where I live you don't get any such problems. The car will be asleep for 4 months in October! only t out to play in good weather sunny sky's etc, we have another two cars for shopping and the like Yes it was all motorway for the instance home except for the last four miles, we live on the A4059 the road Hammond uses for his test drives in Top Gear. Would make a good location for a Jaguar meet

Yeah that's good to hear, is it the only jag you got, or are the other two jags (if you don't mind me asking)

Yeah would be a good place have to see if anyone else would be interested
