It shouldn't be a major issue if the sump has enough space to clear the subframe. I would personally try nipping up the sump bolts first to see if that cures the leak. Be sure to only nip the bolts and not tighten them too firmly....best use a torque wrench to tighten them correctly (as far as I can determine 12lbs is around 15nm which should be more than tight enough)

Hi Ady....welcome to the Club Long may you enjoy your Jaguar and hopefully you will be trouble-free ownership for many years. Cheers, Trevor

That would definitely cause the lack of air getting directly into the engine and the silicon hose would be much more beneficial and probably cheaper

Hi Terry...welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi John....welcome to the Club Does sound like mounts are failing again after two years....if it cured it then it is possible it is the same issue once more Let us know how you get on with it. Cheers . Trevor

Hi Alan I have moved your (this) post into the X-Type section as more members with this model of Jaguar are likely to read the post and hopefully offer some assistance. At first thought, it does sound like driveshaft(s) but I would definitely get it checked in a garage first to eliminate the shafts or even wheel imbalance....hopefully a much cheaper result if its just that! This could occur at around 60mph and is easily rectified by rebalancing the front wheels. Let us know how you get on with it all. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Brian....welcome to the club Sounds like it could be a body control unit programme setting, I'm sure something that your local dealership could resolve quite quickly and cheaply. Let us know what you find Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Kirk....welcome to the Forum It sounds like the master cylinder is applying the pressure to the rear brakes (unless there is a compensator valve on the rear suspension). It would be quite easy to diagnose by releasing the pressure on the rear brake lines attached to the Master Cylinder by cracking off the unions and if the brakes release then the problem is with the Master Cylinder. Be careful to carefully crack the unions loose as brake fluid will be expelled. Also best to cover any paintwork and have a watering can handy to pour over any fluid to neutralise it. If this does not produce any results then I would look at the servo being instrumental in applying pressure to the brake pedal....but if this were the case then you would imagine the front brakes to be applied and not the rears. Let us know how you get on with it.

That's great news and thanks for feeding the information back, it's certainly a great help for anyone with this issue. Happy Motoring !

Hi Fraser I know this S-Type as I have worked on it and it's generally a very tidy car all round. The owner has rectified a few of the known issues and fitted many parts recently (Thermostat Housing, Brake Servo, Service, etc) https://www.gumtree.com/p/jaguar/jaguar-s-type-2.7-diesel-sport-2005-manual-gearbox-75k-miles/1349410603 It's based in Dorset and I think he'll shift a little on the price

I would say that you possibly have a bad earth or a short circuit to ground Either one or more of the injectors are defective (one I could understand, even maybe two but anymore than that there has to be a common fault)...or... there is a short to earth on the loom feeding the injectors. If this is the case then you would have the injectors running constantly. If they are not running constantly then it must be a relay or ECU fault which is feeding power through the earth feed (probably a poor connection or corrosion). Easiest place to start is the System/Main Relay

Can you please let us know if this has this resolved the issue(s), thanks

Hi Andrew....welcome to the Forum That is correct for the injectors to have a 12v permanent feed as the they are triggered by an earth feed from the ECU (more stable way of firing an injector). I would check the system and fuel pump relays first Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Neil.....welcome to the Forum Fine looking Jag Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Maybe worth having the level checked and if it needs a slight top up then this may be sufficient to extinguish the warning light.

Hi....welcome to the Forums. Good luck with your next Jag purchase Cheers, Trevor

Hi Max....welcome to the Forum From my (poor) memory I seem to recall a post with similar symptoms in the dim and distance past....maybe worth searching the site with a few combinations of words, phrases to see what you come up with. Good to have you onboard Cheers . Trevor

Hi Gordon You can get one from Auto Reserve Jaguar (.com) and see if they have one for the XF in stock as this is an improvement and later version than the S Type servo. Should cost in the region of £160 (used one) part number: XR856588 (supercedes: part number: XR852441) Fitted one the other day and vastly improved the braking effort, and no noises and losing pressure either. The original had corrosion build up internally and this was leading to air leaking out through the pedal side of the servo.

Hi Jim good luck for the future and you know where we are if you return to a Jaguar Cheers, Trevor

Hi Patrick....welcome to the Club Which part of Germany did you tour ?

Hi Dave.....welcome to the Club

Hi Keith....welcome to the Forums

All I could find is the location and component diagram but it should be relatively accessible

Hi John....Welcome to the Club

It looks like the old Traffic Master system used on SatNavs of the past....would give live traffic data if subscribed to the system
