Hi, New member here! My 2002 x-type 2.5 petrol, purchased new and with only 80k mi, is not starting. The car was in storage on a battery tender for the past month. Initially after taking it out of storage the car started and ran for ~30mins but after shutting it off, it would not restart. - Battery, alternator, & starter are all good (confirmed with local shop) - No error codes It feels like an ECM issue, any suggestions? Best, Sean

Dear Friends, I finally managed to track down the problem. It was actually two issues , the exterior temperature sensor and AC compressor clutch which my mechanic found was "weak". After replacing both, the AC starts cooling within 2-3 minutes and does a good job even after parked in the hot sun.

Hi. Now getting the boot isnt locked (when it is) problem and also battery low turn on engine sign. Tried leaving battery disconnected/reconnected. I am not a mechanic - so bear with me when I say I cannot find the coolant temp sensor location on my 2019 2.0 diesel. Ive also seen and lost 🙈some advice on taking an ECU fuse out to hard reset in case its a software/ECU thing. Any help well received. Great forum.

My X type 2.2 diesel starts ok off the key, but only runs for about 3 to 4 seconds and stops. Reluctant to start after that but once started again it only runs for a short time and stops again. The longer that you leave it, ie couple of days, the easier it starts but then stops. Any advice welcomed. Thanks. Peter.

Hi my name is Jamie I've had my f type 2016 3.0 for 2 years what an amazing car love driving it.

Hi John, Apologies for the delayed response and thanks for getting back to me. I've ordered a used stalk from ebay and should get it before New Year. It was a good price, so if it solves the problem I'll let you know and it will save a lot of aggravation down the line. Have a Happy Christmas and New Year and I'll be in touch to let you know the outcome. Thanks again, Ted
