Baihaki

Thanks Peter, Following his experience with the Volvo DPF which failed on a long run he is aware of the need to give his Jaguar a good run, but the problem still occurred and he is wondering if the firmware on the EMS which was upgraded when he had the DPF changed is suspect. Regards, Baihaki

My cigar lighters / auxiliary sockets have stopped working, due to an earth fault. Since I do not want to strip large amounts of internal trim out I would be grateful if someone can tell me where to start to look for where the negative wire attaches to the body / earth point. Thanks in advance.

I've had my XJ Sovereign 2.7 diesel (x358) for three and a half years and 20,000 miles and didn't even know that I had a PDF until my son's Volvo had a problem which developed on a long run down to Devon and cost him over £2,500 for a new PDF. Having spent all that money he then sold it and bought an S type which developed a PDF problem and had it changed. Now 2,000 miles later 4 hours into a long run to Wales the 2 lights came on, it went into limp home mode, he called the AA who hooked up a laptop and cleared it. It appears that his engine management unit does not automatically clear the DPF. Having researched prices on the web, I see that new PDFs are only circa £150. Is this correct and has anyone changed themselves on either an XJ Sovereign or an S type?
