Duff boot harness at the hinge point

I’ve just had lots of problems with this harness, luckily my camera kept working. Get it checked as it is apparently a weak point.

UPDATE

Had my gearbox checked out last week and garage could find nothing wrong with it even after running a diagnostic and road test. They suggested I may have an electrical fault that has been causing problems. When I had the problem on the motorway a couple of weeks ago, the car boot was jam packed and I had to force it shut. Turns out that in the boot lid I had some frayed wires that have been causing a few problems and may have been causing error codes as well as causing rear number plates to flicker. I have just had wiring in the boot fixed, so hopefully this solves the problem.

UPDATE

Just had rear number plate lights fixed. Turns  out that there were frayed wires around the boot lid that have been shorting out  causing lots of problems, including error codes.

Thanks Aubrey!

That will be why there’s no mention of a fuse in the manual. I’ve found the loom and will run some tests on it tomorrow.

Hi all

Does anyone know the location of the above fuse as I can’t find it I’m my manual?

thanks

Hi All

Two days ago while driving on the motorway the car just slipped out of gear and a gearbox fault code appeared. I pulled over onto the hard shoulder, turned the car off and restarted and it was fine. There have been no other issues or weird noises, anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Whatever used car you buy, you will always have things that need replacing. However, I agree with what Jon said. It goes like a rocket and is so comfortable and smooth with really decent mpg.

I managed to find one quite easily on eBay about 6 months ago!

Hi Alan

Never mind, thanks for letting me know.

Ste

I had loads of little weird problems for a few months this year, turned out the negative battery terminal was not fully tightened. Caused problems doors, messages on dash and lots of other weird stuff. Just a thought anyway!

Got a 2009 3.0 diesel and I do around 16 miles on motorway a day and 6 around town and averaging 34mpg. I can get 45+ on long drives. Not bad considering my wife has a 1.0 Ecosport and she only gets 38mpg.

Hi Terry

Mine does the same. Today I tried just using the first button, next to the front window and rear window heater and turned off the window heaters when not needed. It was fine and I only had to keep the fan on 1. 

Thanks John,

Think I’ll wait till it’s in the garage again and ask for it to be looked at.

Ste

Thanks Guys,

Funnily enough, I know the rear drivers side was working until my son in law started messing about with the button on the door. If I can figure out what the previous message is saying I’ll try to see if I can get it all connected again.

Hi

Just recently my two rear doors will not lock or unlock with the remote, I have to push the button on the inside to lock or unlock. No problems with front doors and everything else works fine, no battery issues either. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

I’ve only recently used Auto Glym leather cleaner, followed by the leather balm and it brought them up a treat and smells great. Would definitely recommend.

Welcome to the Jag club, I’m also on my first Jag and have never been a happier driver.

I also have the B&W system, standard in the Premium Luxury model and I have to say that it sounds fantastic. I would definitely recommend the upgrade, you won’t be disappointed.

Ste

Sorted! 😎😎😎😎

Finally had a chance to clean polish the seats today and I noticed that the sound was coming from the built in dash cam. I took the memory card out and reset the system and it did the trick. So happy as it had been chiming continuously lately and had really been driving me mad.

Ste

Thanks for the replies folks. It’s been fine today, it’s just that I’ve never seen it happen before. It was actually my wife who noticed it as I drove off.

I’d just like to add that I went on a long journey yesterday and the puddle appeared when I started the car about two hours ago.

thanks folks

How normal, I’d only just started the car? I don’t want to go out and break down.

thanks

Hi Folks

Anyone shed any light on what this might be?

Thanks

It's still doing this, with or without phone. Can't even find anyone who knows why the car is speaking to me or even what it's saying exactly.

The chiming is quite annoying. The problem is that it doesn't happen all the time and sometimes it goes off after two minutes and sometimes ten.

Hi Jon

Ive not tried leaving the phone out of the car or re - pairing it. Could be the problem, as it’s recently had the battery disconnected. I’ll give it a go and let you know.

thanks

Ste
