Greetings to all. For the last 17 years I have owned and used a Mercedes Vito van, after retiring this year, the van with 220,00 reliable miles on the clock was part exchanged for a 2019 XF Sportsbrake. The car is great, I am still finding my way with it as it is a far cry from a Vito Van! First long trip tomorrow. Southport to Scotland and back a 500 mile round trip which I am looking forward to.

Thanks for confirming my memory John! Searching the part number on ebay UK, i found these : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/157386222514 Probably less than the cost of one metric tyre! Bit of a hike to Brum to pick them up but often people have networks of friends on various fora that can offer a pick up and delivery by passing to various people along the way or there's even Shipley.com. It works out that 225/65/15 tyres are very close to the original size (overall diameter 676mm original, 674mm is diameter of 225/65/15) and i daresay a set of 225/65/15 tyres plus the cost of the UK 15" wheels from ebay would be close to about 2 of the metric tyres without the need in a few years to repeat the hunting exercise.

Hi Paul Personally I would be moving to 15" or 16" as those tyres will simply become less and less safe the older they get, until at some point they will fail........ :( Found this which appears to be the 15" version of your metric wheels. Might be worth a try and see if they will ship to UK.... https://susuperdeals.shop/product/75661006133/?cid=803cf2e9053a846b4d3f76833657f3ff Good luck John

Welcome to the Forum, have a safe trip "North of the Border". N6 JMX

Well I might be premature in updating this thread but... I never did find the parking sensor control module. Looked in boot, behind LH and RH boot trims, under seats, under bonnet, under dashboard etc. All difficult to access with horrible plastic clips etc. Jaguar wiring diagrams didn't help as I found many that covered my year of car and all showed the module in different places - why the need to move it around so much? It's as if the installer changed stuff every day on the production line. However I did notice a small water stain near the junction box (fuse box) rear on the RH side of the boot. I noticed the filler cap water vent pipe was blocked so unblocked it and not had the issue since. Maybe water was somehow getting into the boot and running through the fuse box causing the issue when it rained. Time will tell.

Hi Steven, remove fuses F4 10A, F21 15A and F31 30A, all in the auxiliary junction which is located between the rear seats. Make sure the radio is switched off on the panel first.

Hi just some screen shots of error codes that are on now

Locate and check the headlight earth connection is sound. One light failing is more likely to be an earthing issue than a BCM issue. N6 JMX

Quick google brought up this: Faulty Headlight Assembly Component A bad bulb, ballast, or internal wiring/control module can cause intermittent operation. Start by replacing the bulb and checking the ballast. Wiring Harness Issue Corrosion or damage in the wiring connecting the headlight to the BCM can cause data/power loss. Inspect the full length of the harness for damage. BCM Entering Protection Mode If the BCM detects repeated short circuits, it disables the output to protect itself (U1000-00 code). The short must be repaired, and the BCM may need a specialist software fix or replacement. Failing BCM Unit A failing BCM can cause various erratic electrical issues, including lighting problems. This is often due to water damage or voltage spikes.
