Carpo

I once did nearly 300km in darkest Mozambique in a Disco TD5 with no effective alternator. Just make sure no lights, climate control etc for the journey. Maybe best to lower one window a little to avoid the misting issues that Vic had.

If the warning lamp has come on then I suspect that it will need to be removed and cleaned physically rather than just a liquid cleaner. AFAIK, you add the cleaner fluid to the fuel. The problem is that the EGR only opens up from around 1700rpm, so you'll just burn it mostly all away in normal driving without it entering the unit, You might like to consider an EGR delete (I have done that and never had a problem)

Not sure I understand the term "boot cover". Do you mean the tailgate? Or the fabric cover attached to the beam behind the rear seats which can be pulled and secured to cover the boot contents?

I agree with Big John about the Jaguar dealer. They will have probably come across this issue and be able to carry out a fix. As an alternative, I have a plug-in for the OBD port, it is a cheap one which works on bluetooth with my Android phone and when linked with the "Torque Pro" app it will show me the fault codes whenever I get limp mode. This has occurred once a while back, can't remember the exact codes, but it was linked to turbo boost pressure. It went away when I stopped and restarted and has not come back so far. Please do keep us posted on the outcome, it is always useful to know.

Just seen this post now. I also have a 2014 Sportbrake and had similar problems. It is the internal door switch. I tried to do it myself as the replacement switches are relatively cheap, but I found I needed an octopus to help me hold everything together. A number of posts describing this as an easy task are misleading, it is definitely NOT easy, and I am a Mechanical Engineer. I took it to the JLR dealer who sorted it out within a couple of hours. The door lock internal mechanisms are fiddly and will fail occasionally.

Usually a hair drier will soften the adhesive enough for you to prise it off.

There will be forum users who can help I'm sure, but you will need to give us a few clues. Do you have the 5.0L turbocharged version, or a 3.0, 2.7 or 2.2 diesel? How many miles? Any recent changes?

This is what I have on he Torque Pro app.

I also feel that it is a voltage/battery issue if the problem appears after the Jag has been sitting for a while. To confirm this, why don't you buy one of those Voltage/USB plug in units from Halfords (less than £5) and see what happens to your voltage? I think if it drops below about 12.2v after an hour, you might have a battery problem.

This morning I got my door-lock changed at the dealer and on the way home, my Satnav screen started to wander all over the map. I noticed a screen button "cancel browse mode", so I touched this and everything returned to normal. Then a couple of minutes later, the same thing. I've never noticed this before in the 2 years I've had the Jag. The handbook shows the "cancel Browse mode" button, but I cannot fathom how the "browse mode" is initiated in the first place. I don't want it and would like to know if it can be eliminated permanently.

I had water in the wheelwell of my sportbrake when I got it a couple of years ago. I have resolved this with a tube of black sealant from Halfords. I realise that the root cause are the air vents behind the rear panel, but my method stops any water getting down to that area. The photo shows where I applied the sealant. The side drain channels adjacent to the rear window have a gap where they join the lower channel section. Water will pour through this gap down past the vents. If there had been an overlap then the problem would not have arisen. The sealant has done the job for me and the boot is always bone dry.

Also have a 2.2, 200hp Sportbrake and am getting just over 45mpg. My best was 55mpg steady motorway driving.

You can get a DPF (and EGR) delete + remap for less than £500. I'm pretty sure they would weld up the existing crack for you as well.

Ouch that was a very expensive cam cover!

Like it! All good so far?
