Hi, and thanks in advance for any help!聽

I have an X150 4.2 2007 model, it's done just over 100k.

When I bought it 3 years ago I noticed that one of the shock absorbers was leaking, so I bought a set of 4, fully expecting to change them within a few days. That聽 didn't happen and they sat in the garage for 3vyesrs!

With this lockdown now on, I finally got time to do them, not a bad job at all! The problem I have now is that the suspension is very hard, making the car very uncomfortable to drive.聽

What I would like to know is, does the cats system need to be reset to tell it that there are new shockers on?聽

I hope someone can help as I hate driving the car now 馃槶

I have a mazda Rx8 as a second car, I always thought the suspension was hard on that, but the Jag takes the biscuit now馃榿

hi

only way to know for sure is get it plugged into Jaguar IDS/SDD, which will tell you the fault

if theres a fault it defaults to hard setting, if its got cats suspension, usually green shocks

if you disconected a shocker with ignition on usually gives a fault, but not sure if on your model聽 they self reset or not

only way to know is get it plugged in

cheers

Just checked the part numbers, the shocks I bought were for a XKR-S, so even though they fitted, much too stiff!

So if anyone wants a new pair of shocks give me a shout馃榿
