Hi to all my fellow Jag owners. My journey to Jag ownership has not gone as I planned and started last year when I decided to act my age and sell my 350z because it wasn't getting used enough to warrant it and wanted to go old school with something really basic like an Austin 8 or similar. Then the plan was to end nearly 30 years of Range rover ownership by swapping my L320 sport for a F pace. This is where it all went off on a tangent. While watching Bangers n cash the wife took fancy to an E type which was out of budget but got me thinking you see where this is heading. XK8's are now the focus but finding a rust free example for the budget wasn't happening so up the budget till we hitting X150 territory and after weeks of searching and hundreds of miles I became the owner of a 2009 5 litre XK. To say I'm happy is an understatement what an awesome car just can't wait for the weather to improve so I can get some serious miles in it but what about the plan of an F pace well the rangee has a buyer lined up and the F pace should be here next week but I can't help the feeling I might have bit to much off but only time will tell. Pete.

If it were the pads freeing from the disc after being parked to go cold, there would only be one "clunk", or at least one "clunk" per side. Can you confirm how many "clunks" are being heard and also clarify: 1. Is the clunk heard only when the front wheels are turned to full lock? 2. When you first engage reverse, do you travel any backward distance with the wheels pointing straight, i.e. no lock applied? 3. And if so, is there no clunk whilst travelling straight? 4. Is the clunk apparent whether you are reversing out of the driveway to turn right, or left or both? 5. If only with the wheel rotated to turn left, or right, which lock is being applied when the clunk appears, i.e. left hand down or right hand down? 6. If you look into the wheel arch of the nearside front wheel, use a torch, can you see any indications where the leading edge of the turned wheel may have contacted the wheel arch? N6 JMX
