Thanks John I think that at the end of the day I need to replace the batteries Been trying to bring them back to life to save the £607 my local Jaguar dealership have quoted me for both to be replaced. Thanks for you advice its always a pleasure John. Rob.

I am charging my Auxiliary at the moment one lead on the positive post and negative to ground. My Auxiliary was 5v to begin with so i realise it probably needs replacing but i kept on charging with my Ctec. I also checked my Main battery only to find that it had gone up to 12.4v (Previously it was at 11.6v ? Is it possible that the voltage has gone from one battery to another. (2013 F Diesel. Thanks Rob

Is it ok to charge the auxiliary battery with my Ctek. I have charged the main battery but the auxillary is almost flat (5volts) 2013 xf 2.2 diesel. Thanks Rob

Is it the same procedure for charging the main battery and auxiliary battery Ctek positive lead to positive battery post and negative lead to a ground source bracket/

Hi John, Thanks for your advice, I will now use the CTEK 7 as per your post. So, would it be a matter of connecting CTEK positive to the positive battery terminal and the CTEC negative to ground, then switching on the CTEC and remove both terminals from the old battery then connect up my new battery? Thanks, Rob.

I have to charge my xf battery outside, my power comes from the house with no outside socket,with the battery in the boot what might be a good set up? Does the boot need to be closed during charging overnight? Thanks.

I had a wrong part fitted by a garage I have used for years (I had a banging from my offside suspension) the garage recommended fitting a new the lower arm - it made no difference - the same banging was still there, I took the car back and they took it on a test drive and then bounced the front of the car -to test the air suspension strut. The manager then told me it was the front suspension strut that was faulty - an argument took place - I suggested that he didn't properly diagnose the fault and that he should have checked the front air strut during his initial inspection -not after. All I got from then was that hey followed Jaguar protocol during the repair. I later sorted the strut with Jaguar Doncaster finding that the Strut was still under warranty. Still £330 out of pocket with the poor garage performance, and now trying to recover the costs from the garage. Its all left a bad taste in my mouth about the garage attitude towards a regular customer Pity. Rob

Hi, Alfie Collins Your top about my xj6 stiff steering was spot on, I changed the battery to a spare fully charged and put it on the Jag, steering is now perfect, Thanks !

After standing unused for a week my xj6 steering is stiff, this doesn't seem to happen on my xf The steering improves slowly after driving, could this be a sign of the steering pump or rack failing? Thanks.

Hi, My 2005 xj6 has been stood for a week and seems hard to turn the steering,this normally goes back to normal after an hour or so driving,forms seem to happen in my other car? Thanks Rob 22
