Jaguar Owners Club

Hi Dan and welcome to the club XJ12...what a great car...fantastic engine as well, they go on forever! Regards Trevor

worth checking the coolant temperature sensor to see if the wire is off or the sensor damaged. If you have access to a scanner it would be easy to see what the sensor is doing on warm up

If its at the top then it could be strut top mounts....jack up the vehicle slightly (wheel just off the ground), put a long bar under the wheel and rock up and down to see if the noise is there. Probably all the speed humps that have caused it !

Sell the house Trevor and get the Jag !

Hi Simon...and welcome to the club ! I too have owned Rovers in the past...in fact still have an MG ZT in my garage (non runner!). Rovers are great cars overall but they were never destined to set the world on fire. Glad to hear you have now defected to Jaguar Regards Trevor

Welcome to the club and the wonderful world of Jaguar! Regards Trevor

Welcome to the club Steve...and of course, the wonderful world of Jaguar! Regards Trevor

Welcome to the club John I used to own an XJS without a reverse gear...I used it for about a year by just driving into parking spaces that I knew I could drive straight out of without reversing...although I did forget a couple of times! Regards Trevor

Hi Robin it should be okay to back-flush the heater matrix and see what comes out. Once you have done that....bleeding through the hoses either by way of a bleed valve or loosening the hoseclips allowing coolant to flow out...be careful, will be bloody hot!

I will look into that Peter and hopefully get back with a solution for you

Hi guys, Last week we launched our new magazine as a new way to flip through our news articles, photo galleries, videos and forum posts. Check it out here: http://flip.it/5CsXN We'd love to hear your feedback! Is it any good? How could it be improved? What would you like to see in the next issue? Cheers!

Come on guys you have until tonight to get those answers in! :) Worth a go to save a few quid on your insurance!

I imagine Jaguar can add most options post production...usually need coding in if its electronics though

Sometimes a reboot is the only answer !

Sounds like a anti-roll bar link that's worn to me?

Great looking car! Good breakdown of car review as well....very useful !

Welcome to the club Clive Look forward to seeing you posting on here. Regards Trevor

Hi Dan...and welcome to the club ! We are looking to put on some gatherings throughout the country once the weather improves a little bit :( Look forward to seeing your posts and hopefully pictures of your Jags? Regards Trevor

Hi Mark....and welcome to the club ! They are a recreation of the legendary E-Type and very well produced by the look of it. Found this link http://www.challenger-owners-club.co.uk/ also http://www.mattscarsandbikes.co.uk/COC/page2.html Regards Trevor

Hi Mike and welcome to the club ! Firstly, check the engine oil and if it stinks of petrol and is really thin then cylinder washdown has occurred and you will need to change the oil to build up the cylinder compression when it turns over. This usually happens if the car isn't used much and the engine is only really turned over occasionally and used for short distances. Let us know how you get on Regards Trevor

Hi Phil...and welcome to the club ! Glad to see another techie on the site....useful knowledge to impart when the Jags start playing up! Regards Trevor

Hi Ding....welcome to the club ! I can't say I have come across a blanking plate for this application but could you not reseal it back in with silicon? Othewise I would imagine a breakers yard for the replacement parts may be your only other option. Regards Trevor

sods law...well at least you can sort a problem that may have been a roadside issue later on
