Hi Oliver, The 4.2 is a very reliable engine and at that mileage will have very little wear. The main thing to check is that all the electrics work and there is no faults. 60k the gearbox needs a oil and filter change. Check that the “duckbill” modification has been carried out for the a/c drain, if not then the passenger side carpet will get wet at some point. The valley pipes for the cooling system are a potential weak point though again, at that mileage, shouldn’t be a problem. All in all, a nice car but do ask to see as many receipts for any work carried out. Good luck.

Excellent work Peter. Glad to hear all is well.🤙

Hi Paul, No need to replace the blades. Pull off the pipes and try again. If you still have no water then your most likely problem will be gunge at the bottom of the washer bottle blocking the filter. You will probably end up removing the bottle to facilitate proper cleaning and it would also be prudent to blow through the pipes with compressed air, just in case.

Hi Paul, If you don’t have a code reader yourself then it would be worthwhile taking it to a specialist. I would also recommend getting the battery properly checked whilst you’re there.

Hi Paul, possible causes; defective pump, blockage in the line. The screenwash pump is electronically controlled so no direct fuse. Can you hear the pump when you press the button?

Welcome to the forum David. Try the suggestions in this thread. First, lock the car and then manually push the mirrors into the folded position, spray some lubricant into the hinge base and then unlock the car and see what happens.

Hi Anthony, 2 things spring to mind as probable causes, the alarm chirp sounder internal rechargeable batteries shorting out and the flap in the ignition barrel stuck open. Give these guys a call, very well respected specialists and where I go. https://armthorpe.cylex-uk.co.uk/company/the-jag-specialist-19357392.html

When you have a blank nav screen and a 50 51 on the small green LCD screen this means the screen lost communication with the nav module which is the reader in the trunk. The module will need to be replaced but you can try disconnecting the negative battery terminal cable for about a half hour to see if it will reset.

With a fully charged battery and everything switched off, it might make it. Personally, I wouldn’t risk it.

Perfectly feasible John. I suspect either the wheel speed sensors or reluctor rings will require changing.

Alternator needs replacing I’m afraid.

If you have the secondary small battery, check the voltage of that one also.

Welcome to the forum, enjoy.🙂

Definitely unlucky and always blame the missus.😉🤣

Valley pipes, thermostat and water pump housing and coolant reservoir.

If everything is ok then leave it alone, enjoy the car.🤙

Oh are you in for a treat. 😎 Make sure you have extra fixodent in for when you mash the loud pedal.😈🤣

If the light cluster in question is the one on the tail gate then the most likely problem will be a broken wire in the loom at the hinge point of the tailgate.

This will definitely stop the car from starting as the ecu does not see the gearbox in Park or Neutral. Have a look at the cables on the side of the gearbox, they may need adjusting.

60k miles is the manufacturers recommended time for changing the oil and filters.

Check the ground points behind the headlights as a first port of call. They may look ok but, they corrode from the inside out, show them a spanner and they may well crumble.

Just had word back from a friend of mine, the alarm light should flash in the right hand side of the instrument cluster when it is armed. Hope this helps.
