    As above Charge the battery
  2. Bigvic
    You will need to get the fault codes read If you don’t have a code reader yourself, go to an independent garage to get them read. This will be a lot cheaper Otherwise it’s just guesswork
  3. Bigvic
    Remove the windscreen…
  4. Bigvic
    You’ll need to get the security aspect of the car reprogrammed Because the main battery failed, it’s scrambled the security modules brains

    The glow plug light will only come on if it’s cold enough outside

    Here you go: Copy and paste this in the ebay search thingy DuroSense TPMS Tyre Pressure Sensor Preprogrammed For Jaguar | DS167JAG

    I went through this nightmare with exactly the same car - year as well. When the correct tpms valves get fitted, the car should recognise them, otherwise they are the wrong ones. Fit the right ones and five minutes later at above 20mph and the lights go out I got them from ebay and are blue, that’s what I remember I’ll try and find the ones I fitted…

    Check and see if the car’s charging the battery

    Agreed Old or low oil. Get the correct stuff and go for thar first - it’s going to be waaay the cheapest… Next is the super expensive bits, namely, torque converter or worn g/box clutch plates

    It will don’t put your foot on the brake when you press the start button
  11. Bigvic
    You have to wait ten minutes for the oil level bit Mirrors will fold when the door lock’s fixed or replaced, they are linked Get the diff fixed, otherwise it’ll cost you an arm and a leg

    I’ll go for diesel dilution, miles since last reset and time The choice is yours If in any doubt, change it anyway
  13. Bigvic
    What is the engine size? what are the symptoms leading up to restricted mode? what are the codes thrown up? why did the garage say you need a new block?
  14. Bigvic
    Good idea to check for water in the boot too
  15. Bigvic
    These codes are classic battery problem codes. Did you tell the battery monitoring system that you have a new battery?
  16. Bigvic
    Lots of things can throw up an RP issue, but if the fault code points to the turbo, I think I’d be rooting about there first
  17. Bigvic
    Very difficult or pretty much impossible to fix an air leak on the manifold They might look plastic, but it’s some kind of composite It should have been changed if they got that far to attempt a repair
  18. Bigvic
    If they work ok in the dry, then it must be a rain sensor fault
  19. Bigvic
    Welding to wheels? tell us more…
  20. Bigvic
    They probably just want to empty your wallet But I’m an awfy cynic…
  21. Bigvic
    The module normally doesn’t need replaced, just reprogrammed There is a jag indie in paisley across from st mirrens ground (can’t remember their name) who would help and be considerably cheaper

    Diesel type

    Bigvic replied to Dave_c's topic in Jaguar XF Club

    It’s ok to use the supermarket stuff I do and 150000 miles later it’s still running like a Swiss watch The absolute best thing you can do for your engine is change the oil (correct handbook spec) regularly
  23. Bigvic
    Don’t let the dealer fob you off Get it back to the shop pronto and get them to fix it
  24. Bigvic
    Did you boot it to put it into restricted performance?
  25. Bigvic
    You’re right though… It does look like a vacuum leak
