Boot lock
Hi Rod and welcome. There is no fuse. The lock is electronically controlled by the front electronic module for the cabin switches and the rear electronic module for the boot switch. Most likely cause would be a broken wire in the boot loom at the hinge point.

Sorry to hear that Paul. Hopefully your Indy can get it done for you.

Hi Paul, you would need to remove the wheel and the wheel arch liner also.

Windscreen Washers Not Working
Hi Paul, the job is definitely a DIY job though it will be a bit fiddly. Personally, I would remove the bottle from the car so it can be throughly cleaned out. This will also give better access for the filter which will just require cleaning rather than replacement. Be mindful of any O seals that may be fitted. Dont forget to blow through the lines also.

Jaguar XKR 2007 Reliability
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.

Windscreen Washers Not Working
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.

Windscreen Washers Not Working
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.

Windscreen Washers Not Working
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?

Xk folding mirrors problem
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.

Battery Drain
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

Error Code 50 /51
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.

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

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

Battery not charging message
Alternator needs replacing I’m afraid.
