I posted a video on YouTube on an easy way to remove broken wheel nuts. It's really easy. I'll try and find the link https://youtu.be/p3WruqvSLqg?si=rFQ5DfAvIKzjmBsG

If you can, find another headlamp and unplug your offside/drivers headlamp and plug the wiring into the "spare" unit. If the fault persists, it's not the headlamp, if the DRL comes up bright on the spare unit then it's the light unit. However, you may find if the spare is bright, the original might "miraculously" become bright - this points to corroded/dirty connections within the plugs.

did you scan it for errors? these are not easy to diagnose, might as simple as wiring, but difficult to track where exactly

Dim lights usually points to a poor earth connection. Check the earth point for corrosion on the relevant headlight. N6 JMX

Start with the basics, check the diff oil level. It takes about 750ml of fluid and is simple to suction out and refill, not a bad idea since original 19yr old fluid will be in there. I use Smith & Allen FS 75w-140.

Thank you Jim, simplifies things when you have an idea of what does what! I have found the fault and rectified it in a couple of minutes, problem was the vacuum module which is located under the battery tray, for some reason one of the multi pin plugs was not fully connected?? Don’t know why? It’s now making full contact and system is working properly! pedal is now solid. Just have to put everything back together again and job done! I am surprised that I didn’t get a DTC for this fault. Thanks again Regards Steve H.

Here is the electrical manual for your car, figure 05.1 refers. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepairPhotos/CarPDFFiles/JaguarXType/2007XTypeElectrical.pdf

Rare chance to get a rare car. 1983 was the III series, the last of the Vanden Plas. Only 140 were made and this is thought to be one of only 2 left. Near full service history, last full one in October 2024. Immaculate walnut wood interior with gold banding. Beautiful cream leather with bespoke piping to match claret car colour. Kent alloys plus spare. Working electric windows and sun roof, original tool kit and first aid kit the list goes on. 12 page valuation of £18,000. Number plate valued at £1,000, cars nickname Lucifer. Selling well below value due to diagnosis and getting affairs in order. offers around £9,000. Please

Photo of actual pump, black band which i think denotes something so need to check if its dual polarity.

Hi everyone, I just bought a 2003 SWB super v8 and it’s a fantastic car. It has jagdroid installed, although I’m unsure if that has anything to do with the issue I’m facing. The tvs in the headrests are displaying “video signal is not correct” when I’m trying to play a dvd. I have a disc inserted- i think there’s a remote I’m missing that would perhaps solve this issue. Please could anyone advise? My 7-year old is very excited to watch frozen on the way to Wales tomorrow and I don’t want her to be disappointed. I went on a 4 straight hour journey to and from wales yesterday just to check it was running well at around 75 mph the whole way without stopping. I did burn a little oil, maybe 250ml but I think that’s probably to be expected? Thanks all.

maybe there's air lock in te system?

good man, petrols are bullet proof comparing to those diesels. now enjoy 😄

Finally i got a Jaguar XE 25t 2019 with 45000 miles I found that the ingenium diesel has a lot of issues (with more critical the tensioners and the timing chain) and the same engine in petrol is better

Hi John, better to list your car for sale in the Marketplace section at the bottom of the Forum pages. One more post here and your car disappears off the front page and not many are going to look for a car up for sale in the Technical Model section. N6 JMX

completetly different cars...EV vs diesel - personally would go for xf 3.0d...much more refined than 2.0. depending what year make we talking about in terms of 2.0 ingenium diesel. after 2019 there were design changes to it and they are more reliable than in 2016-2018 models

Personally I replaced my 2013 2,2 XF Sportbrake with an MB GLC 220D as the aircon would have cost around £2000 to fix (£30 TX valve, rest for labour!). I would have preferred to go for the newer XF sportbrake but was put off by the Ingenium engines which have a woeful reputation. The I pace does appeal to me, particularly if you are not bothered by depreciation as they are now available for a fraction of the "new" price although I am still nervous about EV battery longevity and "range anxiety".

2.2 for me ,quality over tech
