Fine

I personally think the automatic transmission is fine as the V12 was mated to the autobox and the manual was never really up to the job (Moss gearbox)

Maybe worth running some fresh AdBlue through the system.

There are fake batches being sold and also if they are stored in direct sunshine it can degrade the fluid (Petrol Station forecourts as an example)

Hi Philip...welcome to the Club

Welcome also to the wonderful world of Jaguar

Sounds like the switch on the selector is not engaging the selector linkage
Remove the centre console cover and see what is happening in there

Agree with O.T.H and could also be the turbo emitting smoke but also build up of carbon that will eventually clear if revved enough over a period of time

Firsty id like to introduce my self.. my names Matthew and im about to buy a XJ40 on a 1994 reg. Hopfully il be picking it up Sunday. The Jag all checks out however the question id like to ask is the owner only has 1 key.. can you tell me how easy it is to get a spare key made (EG Timpsons) will the key have to be programmed to the Jag.. will i need any special PIN numbers (Yes he has the radio code) is it a "Tibble key" or is it a "standard" wafer type key.

Hi Matty.....welcome to the Forum

The key should be a standard one that most locksmith companies can replicate. The fob would coded to the car as standard.

Have you collected the Jag yet and whats your thoughts on it?

Does this happen every time?

Is there any recent issues that could have caused this display to occur?

Hi....welcome to the Club

Fine looking F-Type ..... enjoy now the nice weather is finally get here 🙂

Good to have you onboard!

I would definitely advise using a Faraday pouch to store your keys in (both keys so you'll need two pouches)

Also a physical deterrent such as a Krooklock is ideal to deter would be thieves as it is something else for them to get past

What are you hoping to achieve by changing the carburettors, is it performance gains or is it for reliability?

I always found that the HIF setup always delivered both performance and relaibility but had to be set up correctly in the first place (e.g. vacuum, linkages, etc)
