    Anybody tried swapping the front wheels to the back? maybe (😃), you’ve got an alloy out of round

    Sounds like you’re going to have to overhaul the brake calipers On the other hand… It’s a known thing that pad deposits can build up on the discs and cause this juddering A good few heavy braking sessions from speed can remove these deposits and cure the problem till it comes back

    I tend to agree with you It’s your car - you can do what you like with it!

    Charge up the battery and it will do 11 miles no problem I had the exact same problem about 2 weeks ago leaving my work car park and it managed 30 miles I had everything electrical off that I didn’t need, but the windows misted bad and I was freezing by the time I got home! Second hand alternator cured it

    Differential?

    If the boot was full of water the it’s more than likely that your junction box is slowly dying It’s a box in your boot that holds relays, fuses and computery things If it does turn out to be that, then it’s an expensive fix. Although I’ve read that some people claim to have fixed them by removing and drying them out. There are also people on the internet who say they can fix them All I can say is good luck with this one

    I imagine the only way to switch it off is by using jag specific sdd computery stuff Don’t ask me how though, I’m a dinosaur nowadays

    What’s wrong with the stuff specified in the handbook?
  9. Bigvic
    Ah… I think the explanation is that yours is a 17 plate and mine is a 14 plate Sorry…

    There’s a tiny, almost invisible, clear dot on the black border of the windscreen glass that the wiper tip is meant to park at

    You can change said valve for a new one
  12. Bigvic
    There’s a valve in the compressor that can go bad

    Isn’t there a bit in the touchscreen where you can mess about with how it locks or unlocks?
  14. Bigvic
    Do all the doors stay locked?
  15. Bigvic
    You’ve got to tell the car it’s got a new battery via sdd or autel a dealer or indy will do it for you
  16. Bigvic
    Have you tried a car breaker?
  17. Bigvic
    Oh, and gearbox oil changed a couple of years ago for about the same price

    I got my belt and pump done for £450 at a jag indy
  19. Bigvic
    That’s ridiculously high

    You need to get the error codes read

    Take it off, clean it out, put it back on, top up to the cold level with coolant tie the hose up, out of the way, but higher than the tank - just to try and stop air getting into the system
  22. Bigvic
    Yes, they’re trying to rip you off head gasket problems don’t manifest themselves with oil on top of the engine
  23. Bigvic
    Plug in a fault code reader and see what you get You probably have a problem with your parking aids
  24. Bigvic
    Erm… mr lairdscooby just beat me to it with a much better reply

    The last person to have the wheel off probably just gunned the wheel nut on and over-tightened it. The nuts are supposed to be torqued up - don’t know the torque. original jag nuts have an alloy covering which looks pretty to start with, but rust eventually develops beneath and swells the nut. I swapped mine for toyota solids
