  1. Believe the collective noun for Jaguars is a PROWL. Regards, John
  2. The V6 is a 2.5 engine. Welcome to the Club Best Wishes and Regards, John.
  3. Bought the iCarsoft PRO, but still find it very challenging to use. At 72 I am not "over tech gifted" and am finding the User Manual I had to print from the internet is not really that helpful to me. Can read deeper into P0420 that my Foseal Diagnostic did, but cannot understand such things as live "% efficiency readings" from upstream and downstream Lambdas. Yes it gives the readings and that is OK if you understand what they are meaning. I still get intermittent P0420 codes, despite having replaced each and every part of the Bank 1 induction system and exhaust system, and cannot understand why/how these intermittent codes keep occurring. Manifold Gaskets (6), plugs, coils, up and down stream Lambdas, Catalytic Converter (which was killed by misfiring), checked all joints for leaks. All replacement parts as OE. Any ideas from anyone would be much appreciated. Best Wishes and Regards, John.
  4. Now keep getting intermittent P0420 readings, even after all I have done. ANY IDEAS FROM ANYONE / ANYWHERE Cheers , John
  5. I to will not be approaching from Rownhams Services. John
  6. Kevin Well done. This Forum gets many submission (which you would be well advise to check) regarding Jaguar and F Pace Warranty. There have been a couple in the last few days even. Wish you well with your approach to Jaguar. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  7. Kevin There will be a few members very close to you next weekend Sunday 26th June 2022, attending "Simply Jaguar" at The National Motor Museum, Beaulieu.
  8. George I think a few more details of the wheels like what they will fit, what size they are, photos etc, etc, may help on this submission. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  9. Jay Perhaps you should factor into your intended budget, or negotiations to purchase, the consideration that you may have to have the Cambelt and associated items replaced just to be on the safe side and for peace of mind. Far better to be safe than sorry as a cambelt failure could lead to major repair bills. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  10. Jay Although age and mileage are important, what is probably more important is that the car you buy should have a provable, recorded service history. Previous MOT`s and advisories will also often provide interesting history. Good Luck with your purchase and Regards, John
  11. I personally would suggest that it is going to be a vapour and not smoke. Smoke would suggest fire/burning/ignition, which I would have thought would have had further more devastating outcome than just an escape when the fuel filler is opened. I agree that it it is likely to be a sign of water. If it is water its source will have to be traced or at sometime you are going to get serious misfiring happening, which will lead to other mechanical issues. Is there any smell of any particular note from the tank when you release the filler cap. That may give a clue if it can be identified from the fuel smell one would expect. Taking things to extremes, a sample from the tank and having it analysed may prove may be something. Good Luck and Best Wishes, John
  12. Great to hear good news. Regards, John
  13. They have two pectoral fins which they use as a kind of support and it looks as though they are walking.
  14. Result. !!!!!!!!!!!! Well done and not the usual Jaguar attitude to engine failures I suspect. Regards, John
  15. Welcome to the club. What jobs have you had to do Best Wishes and Regards, John
  16. Commiserations on your loss. Regards, John
  17. This reading was taken with an iCarsoft CR PRO and showed a percentage reading. Is any other form of test available using this new Diagnostic unit ? Many thanks, John
