Slam panel vents is the usual entry point. Have a look behind the trim. Also advisable to drill a drain hole in the bottom of the well.

There isn’t one. Just follow this video;

Don’t think he was asking about a holiday, Dave.😉

In addition to the above, here is the audio book. https://www.xtype.uk/docs/handbook/JJM-10-03-24-22.pdf

It may help if you told us the year of the car.

A code reader will tell you where to look first and may save you spending on things you may not need.😉

Hi David, here is my set up,

The more you drive it the more charge will go into the battery. The fact you now have no warnings is proof of low voltage. Before you go spending on a new battery, give your existing one a full charge. If it still loses voltage then by all means replace it.

If it was the speaker then the cable would go direct to the module and the speaker under the parcel shelf. If you’re saying the cable goes behind the bumper then there is some jiggerypokery going on.

Looks like a speaker. Where does the wire go to?

1. Turn ignition key to position one. 2. Release the retaining tang. (This is a silver pin on the side of the assembly that needs to be pushed in.) 3. Remove the ignition switch lock cylinder.

This way we all know what model and year yiu are asking about. See my signature below for an example. Attachments 162.6 KBViews: 76

That’ll do it, far too low. Fully charged should read 12.8v.

The first thing to do is fully charge the battery and then see what happens. After that you’ll need to have the codes read to see what the car is saying is wrong.

Yes you can Rob. As you have no BMS fitted to your car you can attach direct to the battery though it is best practice to connect the negative of the charger to a suitable ground point.

Incorrect information. Wrt to the brakes, I haven't come across 5.0 XKs with the 5.0 XKR brakes as standard. The sizes are noticably different 355mm to 380 mm at the front. I think the rear is an even bigger difference. It is possible that: Performance = 355 mm (taken from the 4.2 XKR) Super Performance = 380 mm (standard on almost all 5.0 R models without carbon brakes) Just measure them and it should be fairly clear what you have/need to replace with. Non of which are Brembos.

Welcome Carl. This thread may be worth a read. https://www.jaguarforum.com/threads/2015-xk-question-about-playing-bluetooth-music.138396/unread

Get hold of an aircon bomb and try that. If that doesn’t cure it then further investigation is required.

Hi, try sending an email to http://www.davidmarksgarages.co.uk they are in Nottingham, not far from Leicester. They may be able to help you out.

It’s all detailed in the manual. Remove the cup holders and underneath you should find a red tag. The manual will tell you what to do.

Yes it will fit. Sit in the drivers seat, where your right knee is, look under there, that’s where the OBD port is.

Hi Chris and welcome. As the engine has been stood for so long, remove the plugs and put a teaspoon of oil down each. Wait 5 minutes and then spin then engine on the starter for 5 - 10 seconds. Replace the plugs and retest the compression, if still the same then you start dismantling.

Any Jaguar independent specialist should be able to read the codes for you. A icarsoft i930 code reader would also be useful to you. What appears to be the problem?

Welcome to the forum. Here’s one option, https://www.jagdroid.org Enjoy.😊
