Jaguar Owners Club

Hi Mick.....welcome to the Club

That is a fine looking F-Type !

I believe the function is there but needs programming in by the dealer
I'm sure some members may know a fix which you can do yourself

Good to have you onboard!

If I had to get any of my car engines cleaned internally then it would be with Terraclean as they are reputable and have been around for many years.

Thanks, have a great Christmas also 🙂

Hi Tim

We have sent out some Terraclean vouchers to Premium Members in the membership packs.

The Terraclean process is to clean the engine using a water based product which lifts the carbon from the internal parts of the engine that are likely to become clogged with carbon in normal use (e.g. Inlet manifold, throttle bodies, EGR).

It is best to check with your local Terraclean agent as to whether they will accept the voucher before committing to their service as it does state on the voucher that some agents may not accept it.

Some more information:  https://www.terraclean.co.uk/?gclid=CjwKCAiAh_GNBhAHEiwAjOh3ZL4S2QzfBXpYd2TxlSnyxBmWG9vCgb2Za96bFcIQvpG5rjFm4m7TgRoCp9kQAvD_BwE

First, I would check that the bulbs are fitted correctly and sat in the holder correctly.

Then I would check the linkages on the suspension as the level would depend on the vehicle loading

After that I would look at changing the base setting on the headlamps.....you should see an adjustment screw somewhere on the rear or top of the headlight units

Hi Paul.....welcome to the Club

Better late than never.... 🙂

Good to have you onboard!

The colour should be a bright, clear colour as opposed to contaminated opaque colour.

Also, if the fluid is contaminated it would also smell burnt 

The solenoids would come up in fault codes if any issues when scanned

Hi Stewart.....welcome to the Club

I would see what information you can gather on the actual fault.
If they drop the Oil pan on the gearbox then any failure of hardware should be obvious by remains of bearing, clutch bands/plates and also the colour of the fluid and filter.

It may just be a solenoid at fault as opposed to a whole new transmission?

Hi Clive....welcome to the Club

Superb looking Jag, and sounds like its a proper love affair, I don't blame you 🙂

Good to have you onboard!

Hi Peter....welcome to the Club

The Jag is definitely better quality but as you say the drive is probably more fun in the Alfa (just sold a GT and life is a little less fun without it)

Good to have you onboard!

Hi Mark....welcome to the Club

I owned and worked on a lot of XJ s3 (both 6 and 12 cylinders) in the past and always have fond memories of them.

Good to have you onboard and enjoy the Jag!

You will need to code the BCM to accept the new battery voltage and if this hasn't been done then it will affect the vehicle electronics

TOUCHLESS CAR DRYING FOR CAR CARE ENTHUSIASTS

As every car care enthusiast knows, non-contact detailing methods greatly reduce the chances of putting scratches into paintwork. Whilst the wash process still requires a mitt, the drying process no longer requires a drying cloth!

Dust and dirt can become trapped in the long, absorbent fibres of drying cloths and can cause scratches when the towel is rubbed over the paint. The edges of cloths can cause marks as the towel is 'whipped' back and forth. Synthetic chamois can be ineffective in soaking up water and natural chamois can remove wax protection. Using the BigBoi BlowR Mini eliminates all these possibilities, so you never have to worry about inadvertently marking your paintwork when drying it.

The BigBoi BlowR Mini is the ideal solution for the avid car care enthusiast. Featuring the most efficient single motor in the industry, the 1600w motor + 1000w heater element, uses filtered air to chase water off paintwork, metal, glass and chrome. The blast of air forces trapped water out from behind badges, head and taillight surrounds, mirror housings and other hard to reach areas. The BlowR Mini is supplied with three interchangeable nozzles to ensure air can be directed into tight to reach areas or along channels and grooves. Choose from two wind speeds and three temperatures, depending on the task at hand.

IMPORTANT: Equipped with a UK 3-PIN plug suitable for 220-240v, please only order if your country supports this supply.

Its down to personal choice really as there are quite a few out there.

I personally like Classic Jaguar as I prefer some of the older models but maybe try a few and stick with the one you prefer.

Let us know what you think when you've tried a few

Sounds like a coil spring is broken and that is making the noise on cornering

The brake servo is corroded internally and needs to be replaced.....an XF version can be fitted in place of the original S type one
