There definitely is a problem with the map sign-in currently. I have for several days also been unable to login and am getting the same message as you (there's an error on our end), so I assume it actually is a problem at their end, but I haven't investigated further, as the only downside I have noticed is that anything I create in the route planner app is not sync'ed with the car, but where would I go these days?! Barnard Castle, perhaps! 🙂 Just to let you know, that this is not impacting only you! Might be worth contacting Jaguar on FB. I've done that in the past, and they do respond.

That is down to the unfortunate difference in how storage media capacities are labelled by the vendors, and how in almost all other applications it is calculated. When a storage vendor labels it 32gb, it is 32x10^9 = 32x1000x1000x1000 = 32,000,000,000 bytes When a computer calulate a file to be 32gb it is 32*2^30 = 32x1024x1024x1024 = 34,359,738,368 bytes and therefore will not fit on 32gb drive. The 29,6 you see, is as calculated by a computer. 32 metric gb is roughly 29,8 binary gb, so only about 200mb is lost to formatting, not 2,4gb. Just an explanation. Doesn't really help now, but perhaps for the future.

I have a standard sim in mine, works fine. But if you plan to set it up as a hotspot, then likely it will be cheaper to get a data sim (which also can be used for calls and texts). 3 has a 24gb data sime, that only expires after 2 years. Search for 'three data sim 24gb' on amazon and you will find it for about 45 quid. Directly at 3, it is 60 quid.

You'll need to create an account on incontrol.jaguar.com if you haven't already and then add the car to your account. If it was added to the previous owners account, and he or she didn't remove it from their account, you will not be allowed to do it. Instead you must contact a dealer, who can help with deregistering it and then register it to your account. Then you can see if the subscription is still valid (last the first 3 years). If it has expired you will need to pay 30 quid for one years subscription. Download Jaguar Remote from the app store and login to you account. I've just been through this with my XJ, but I'm rather certain the procedure is the same for all.

Think more or less everyone has had this. I've not notified it being especially related to temperature. Just sometimes it happens, then it can run for months on end with no issues and then suddenly it happens almost daily for a period. Not bothered me enough to do any serious troubleshooting.

I believe it is to jump start/charge the car. It is directly connected to the battery in the boot. You connect the positive connector to the one under the red cap and the negative to somewhere on the engine/chassis. More convenient access than getting to the battery in the boot.

I have an openended emac service plan at £32 a month, which I can cancel at any point for a small fee, I am not locked into any length and it will coiver my yearly sevice and provide discount on spares and mot. It should be possible on all 3+ XFs (mine is a 61 3.0D S faceliftwith 115,000 miles). Probably can find it cheaper at independents, but I can't find a jag specialist that I can get to an from without spending hours in public transport. The main dealer isn't near either, but they provide a load car included in the monthly pay, so I can make it in half an hour from and to them. Service has to be done each year even if you only do 5000.
