  1. Quick google brought up this: Faulty Headlight Assembly Component A bad bulb, ballast, or internal wiring/control module can cause intermittent operation. Start by replacing the bulb and checking the ballast. Wiring Harness Issue Corrosion or damage in the wiring connecting the headlight to the BCM can cause data/power loss. Inspect the full length of the harness for damage. BCM Entering Protection Mode If the BCM detects repeated short circuits, it disables the output to protect itself (U1000-00 code). The short must be repaired, and the BCM may need a specialist software fix or replacement. Failing BCM Unit A failing BCM can cause various erratic electrical issues, including lighting problems. This is often due to water damage or voltage spikes.
  2. Hi Syd. When my camera / sensors failed it came up as offside front sensor, but was actually the front bumper wiring loom with the issue feeding that sensor. Do you have any codes? These are pretty vital to help sort issues otherwise you end up "throwing" solutions at the problem hoping that one will eventually sort it. The camera and sensors work as a whole so if a sensor is not reading correctly, the whole system shuts down to let you know you are on your own. I think the tailgate loom switch only works when it is just the camera which is not working. My guess would be the camera and radio are probably unrelated. Good lluck John
  3. Hi Paul Given those tyres are likely to be north of £600 per corner (when you can get them!), unless you are desperate to keep the original wheels I would be looking to replace with a set of 15" or 16" alloys which will probably cost a lot less that the R390s. https://iconicalloys.co.uk/ https://www.imagewheels.co.uk/ Good luck John
  4. Hi Mike I had exactly the same issue on 2013 XF Sportbrake. Totally confused the garage as not fixed after replacing the external sensor. It seems the computer still relies on previous readings until the car has been turned off for over 6 hours so, fingers crossed, it may be OK when you have left it overnight..... Good luck John
  5. Hi Michael Seems you have no fuel available at first. Sounds like a problem I had with an old Peugeot 208 where there was a loose connection in the fuel line to the pump allowing air in and thus letting the fuel slip back down the line. This needed prolonged turnover or manual pumping of the fuel pump (it had a primer on top!) before it would start. Obviously the longer it sits between "sessions" the more time the fuel has to creep back down the fuel line if that is your problem I would check the fuel lines for leaks / loose connections and look / smell for fuel leaks and possible areas where air could be getting in the line. Good luck John
  6. Hi Lez. At that age you are probably going to struggle to get decent cover as most are limited to 10 years or 100k after which cover limit and items covered drops substantially. There are some that will go to 12 years and 120k but personally at 10yrs I would be going with your AA option and laying aside a couple of hundred a month in a savings account to "self insure" Good luck John
  7. Have you tried jump starting? When you say it won't "start" does it turn over but fail to start or fails to turn over? If it turns over, is it sluggish? Regards John
  8. Hi Dawud. Wow, that is a LOT of issues! My first thought is if you bought from a dealer, go straight back and start quoting sale of goods act. If it was a private sale I would be looking for an auto-electrican with Jag experience. I did a quick search and based on your profile location you might give these guys a call: https://autotektuning.co.uk/ On the cambelt it is needed ASAP but I would want to make sure the electrics were sorted first before I fork out several hundred for a cambelt change. Good luck John
  9. Hi Alex I would expect you to be getting DTC codes if you are getting dashboard error messages It is possible you need Jag specific software. Have you checked the Fuel Pump Driver Module? Also I would re-check the need to recode a new fuel pump as Gemini (AI search) suggests it is needed. This might also help if you have not already found it. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Electrical/XFWorkshopManual/Fuel System.pdf Good luck John
  10. Hi Nanak https://www.vehiclerevolution.com/products/jaguar-xf-xfr-xfrs-rear-diffuser-black-abs-plastic-2008-2015 or think you need both of the below..... https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-C2Z16212--SelectedCurrency-1 https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-C2Z16211 Regards John
  11. Hi Alex Have you looked for any stored error codes since the original problem? Only other thing that I can think of is that the replacement pump needs to be paired or coded to the car. Maybe this will help with the fuel gauge issue: Regards John
  12. Hi John Code is probably 1313 Sometimes 0000 or 1111 may work. Good luck John
  13. Hi Mark Pretty sure by 2019 that CD player was optional. Easiest solution is to use bluetooth to connect to your phone and listen to spotify etc... John
  14. Pretty sure it is under the rear parcel shelf. Regards John
  15. Are these what you are after? https://www.jagsparesinternational.co.uk/prodcat.asp?root=|100:259| Good luck John
