  1. Probably best to put this on the XJ site😉
  2. Hi Macca, The flap on mine still leaves a slight gap even after lubricating so I'm wondering if your problem may be something different.Do you have a local indy locksmith who can check if the fault is the fob. If it is you can usually pick them up cheap on ebay and get them cut and programmed by a decent locksmith for a lot better price than a Jag dealer. I got a spare supplied ,cut and programmed for £ 98 last year locally which I thought was decent. Good luck😊
  3. With such a low annual mileage for a Diesel I would be inclined to use an injector cleaner additive and then take it for a good long run at fairly high (but legal) speed.May be a build up of contamination caused by long standing period.
  4. Just one thing to check if you have programmed and refurbished the fob correctly before you spend any more money. There is a small metal flap that closes as you take the key out of the ignition barrel that sometimes doesn't close fully when the key is removed as it wears.This can stop the fob signal working so lubricate it and make sure it shuts fully when you remove the key as it is part of the security system. Had this problem last year and this solved it for me. Good luck😄
  5. I genuinely don't know what bolts you mean or do you mean the retaining screw that keeps the spare secure in the boot? I wasn't aware that the standard wheel nuts weren't compatible with the space saver.If they aren't where in the car should I find the spare wheel ones.?😉
  6. Sorry to hear your health problems. Glad to hear your Jag has gone to a good home locally.Must be upsetting though as I would hate to part with mine. Look after yourself✌️
  7. The last couple of days neither of my keys will operate the central locking on or off unless I am stood in one position close to the car. They both have good keys so am wondering of it's an issue with the receiver. Any ideas ?
  8. Could be or it might be that the battery needed a boost as a low battery seems to cause a few of these sort of things according to threads on here.Or of course as it only does it occasionally it may come back.Will keep an eye on it Cheers.
  9. Well I silicone sprayed all the locks and took her for o good run as I have only done very short trips this last few weeks and thought the battery might need a boost. When I went to her this morning I locked and unlocked a couple of times and no mystery beep ! Here's hoping. 😃
  10. Strange one this. A couple of times recently when I unlock the car the horn will beep twice. Now I know it will do this if you lock the car and a door or the boot is open but I have never heard of it before when you unlock the car. Any ideas ?
  11. When I first picked up my car from the dealer it flashed up "Cruise control not available " for the first couple of miles, The car had hardly been used in the previous 2 years and I think it needed a good run to get the battery level up. Been fine since. (Touch Wood)
  12. Blimey, thanks for that John. So it looks like the three inputs on the Transfer box are for power,rear axle and one of the front drive shafts with the other driven through the gearbox casing.Now you see why there is no way I will be tackling this job myself,would probably end up with the car (and me) in 😃pieces.
  13. Now I know I'm probably missing something obvious but I recently ordered a replacement transfer box which arrived today and is being fitted by my local indie this week. What I don't understand is how this thing gets power to both front wheels from only one output without a front diff. I can only see 3 shaft inputs,one for the transmission,one for the rear prop and one transverse for the front drive.It's doing my head in trying to work it out
  14. Cheers Jim Somebody had gone down the "It's a Mondeo in a posh frock" thing and tried to use a cable from a Mondeo which connected to the rear sensors but is a completely different at the module end so they had just tucked it out of sight !
  15. Bit late updating on this I know but finally fixed it. Somebody had connected the wrong cable to the rear sensors and tucked the cable away.Bought the right one off ebay,connected it and now both rear and front sensors are working 😄
  16. Help! This will be my first winter with my X type 3.0 AWD. I was thinking it would be fine if we get any snowy weather but I seem to keep reading that the post 2004 electronoc AWD system without the DSC option (mine) is useless in the snow !. Please tell me it ain't so. The 4 wheel drive system on my car is one of the things that I know niggles my BMW owning neighbour so I wouldn't like him to think it wasn't any good.😄
  17. Now then,any help with this would be greatly appreciated.Occasionally if I turn my ignition through stages 1,2 and start in a hurry my audio (Alpine Premium system) wont work in any source. However if I leave a little 2 second gap between stages everything comes on fine. It's as if the system needs a second to recognise the ignition code. Any ideas ?
  18. Yeah probably that, Have had a hunt round the boot but can't find it.Might nip to our local indie car electrics guy and see if he can help. Certainly don't fancy removing bumpers etc. Failing that will probably leave things and park carefully .😄
  19. The parking aid sensors (front and rear) haven't worked on my car since I got it in February so I had a go at them today.Although the module has inlets for 3 separate harness's mine only has 2 connected. All images I have looked at on line show 2 brown plugs and 1 black connected but mine just has the 2 brown connected and 1 empty inlet.Could this be the problem ?
  20. Was reading today about the rear centre seat belt will not operate if the seat back is not locked correctly,apparently it's a safety feature.But why only the centre belt? Is it ok to send the other two rear passengers hurtling into the front seat backs or am I missing something.
  21. So I have been having a problem with the autolocking. Occasionally when it cuts in when you get to the end of the trip the doors refuse to open from the inside. So today I decided to deactivate it using the method recommended on here. Just wanted to say it worked a treat ,probably saving me considerable amounts of cash at a dealer. Thank you Forum .
  22. Due to Covid have had to wait until this week to pick the car up, but well worth the wait. What a brilliant car to be in !!!
