I think it is called traction control.

Almost certainly your battery is toast and you need a new one.

Finally got a reply over my query about changing gearbox oil lol.

Is it not just as easy to remove the tyres and replace the batteries? How much would kwikfit charge for that?

This is how it looks as mount for my phone. The holding bracket fits onto this.

Thats a lot of work to get bluetooth. I would just get a really good sat nav fitted. That will have bluetooth, dab radio, stream your music etc etc. You will need a microphone fitted also for hands free.

What you need is one of these. Connects to obd port, cig lighter, or direct to battery. I have used this many times when leaving my car at airports etc. It will not charge your battery but it supplies all electrical power needed to run the alarm and clocks etc etc. I have used it on my x type and my grand cherokee. Came home after 5 weeks and my x type fired up first turn of key. On my sons insignia it started first time after 9 weeks.

Got some oil into the gearbox, prob not jag spec but better than no oil I think. Almost immediately you can tell the difference. Have to get it all drained and refilled properly with jag spec when this is all over. Cheers, Steve...

First. In warmer weather while driving I noticed that when starting off 1st, 2nd, and 3rd were selected normally. After 3rd the change to 4th was almost immediate and then 5th was engaged normally. Second. In cold weather (-1 and less) when setting off 1st engaged normally but when changing to 2nd it was as if the car was almost going to stop. Same when she was changing from 2nd to 3rd. Almost as if the brakes were being applied. 4th was attained normally then 5th also. However in 5th gear it would take a couple of miles for the revs to drop down to their normal level. My thoughts are that she is low on oil which would be a surprise as it is a sealed unit and about 10,000 miles ago I had the oil changed in the gearbox. No sign of any leaks. Today I was going out on a "lock down lets find something to do to the car" couple of hours. I had bought a large syringe come turkey baster thing so decided to suck out some of the power steering fluid and replace with new with the plan being to do that regularly until it all looks new. That was job done, no problem. While attempting the above I remembered that there is a filling hole on the gearbox with a rubber plug so that the box can be topped up. Will this turkey baster I have fit into that hole? Yes it will. But, the rubber plug is missing. When I put the plastic pipe of the baster into the hole as far as it would go I tried to suck some fluid out but there was nothing there. So the question is, and probably Joe.com is best for this, 1, How to tell how much oil should be in the box without, draining and refilling to manufacturers specs, and although no sign of any oil having been blown out this hole would it be possible? Regards and TIA Steve...

Drivers door needs to be open when you do the reset as shown on youtube. So open the locks, enter car, do not close door. Thats how it works on mine anyways!

Sometimes you do need to really really give it a good pull. My one is the same sometimes.

$1000, seems reasonable.

For the button on the mirror. It could be for night driving. My one dims automatically when the headlights are on but yours could be manual operation.

Has anybody else fitted one of these? I can highly recommend. Super easy installation, no drilling or glue required.

Buy a new sat nav such as a garmin drivesmart on ebay or Amazon and then you will have all you need. Can buy from Halfords also and they will fit it for you. Probably come with DAB also.

From what area does the whine come from? Could be a transfer box problem, possibly even a wheel bearing. Hopefully not the rear diff. Good luck.

Better luck this time.

In destination entry the uk should be highlighted like this. If not then use change key.

Check that the nav is set for the uk. Quite possibly the nav is set for a eu country so will not recognise uk post codes. You need to go into the satnav menu. Same thing happened with mine because it was looking for an address in hungary or somewhere. Good luck.

I use a solar charger I bought from Halfords (-15% discount with my Jag Owners club card.). It supplies enough electric to run the alarms etc. I left it for 2 months the last time and on return she fired up 1st turn of the key. It plugs into a 12v power supply in the boot which works when ignition is off. You can also plug it to the obd port and it charges that way. I highly recommend them for long term parking at airports. As Jags are so susceptible to problems caused by battery discharge they soon pay for themselves. As a sidenote, it will not charge your battery, merely supply enough power to run the alarms which cause the battery to discharge.

No need to apologise, it happens. Did get my hopes up though.

First port of call would be the filter, check to see they cleaned it or replaced it. If the injectors are ok and you have a new fuel pump then fuel supply is the likely culprit. As Peter says, could be a blockage somewhere. Also, exa ine the hoses around the air flow meter. If they look to be holed replace them.

Most probably comfort. Sport versions would have the stiffer shocks and springs. But if you go to the major parts suppliers and put in your reg details, 9 times out of 10 they will come up with the correct parts for you. Regards, Mannie...

XType estate what? You need to specify the model to be able to spec the shocks. My one is a 3.0L awd sovereign estate and has the comfort shocks as standard.
