  1. I don't think this is what you're looking for but i suspect the same people may be able to help if you contact them - for obvious reasons they're unlikely to put the keys on the general listings : https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/xr81247-locking-wheel-nut-tool.html Hope that gets you going in the right direction! Alternatively a Jag dealers/independent specialists may be able to remove your present set of locking nuts and you can either fit standard or a new set of locking nuts with a new key. Good luck!
  2. Hi Ian, i've had my Jag about 15 months now and it's only the second car i've owned that i know will put a smile on my face every time i drive it. Had my Honda CR-V (replacement for the 760GLE) about 3 months now and except for a few minor niggles (and horrendous fuel consumption!) i'm enjoying that too. My Jag is the S Type, the predecessor to the XF and there was no estate (Sportbrake) option on the S Type. Maybe at some point in the future i'll get a Sportbrake to "combine" the CR-V and S_Type but that will be a long way off! I do still lurk on the VOC forum, there are several long running threads i follow.
  3. Paranormal (there wre two possibilities i immediately thought of for a "night walker", the second being one of the oldest "professions". Thanks for the compliment too Frank!)
  4. Thought you'd been quiet lately on the VOC Forum! 😛 Welcome aboard - can't help with your questions on your Sportbrake but i'm sure someone will be along soon that can.
  5. Are you using the AC by any chance? If so, try turning it off...........
  6. I think in your position, i would find someone selling parts from a complete car that was running and is being broken due to terminal rot, accident damage or similar. Buy the complete set of ECU, transponder, fob and any others you might need to fit a set and get it running. I'm relatively new to Jags so don't know which ones exactly you'll need, on a Rover 800 i'd say ECU, CCU, reciever, transponder key and fob and know you'd be good to go. I'm sure someone with a bit more product knowledge on Jags will be able to give you chapter and verse on which modules/ECUs you'll need exactly. Also have you tried a reset on your car to see if that resolves the problem? I know a neighbour bought a Ford Kuga that had been spiked and it cost him near £2k for diagnostics and secondhand ECUs......
