Just read the handbook and it states you have to be travelling at 25mph /40kph to activate. Will have to sit my wife on the wing🤣

Good question, I presumed that they were standard.

Thanks Jim, I tried it on my own lights on engine running but nothing 🤔

Can anyone tell me when and how they are activated? Cannot say I've noticed any difference but may be difficult to tell from inside the car, Happy New Year to you all🎉

A simple solution after all. Took it to my new mechanic and immediately he said the pump was faulty. Replaced the pump and all is well 😊

Cheers, attached to centre bolt in the wheel well.

Thanks again Jim. Trying to get to the bottom of why windscreen washers work on ignition only when engine running nothing. Headlamp washers ok????

Thanks Jim

Where can I obtain a wiring diagram for the 2012 XF 2.2 D?

What is the correct way to trickle charge the battery?

Windscreen washers do not work when engine running, switch to just ignition and they work. Headlamp washers work no problem. Any ideas or anyone had the same issue?

Having found a great mechanic who resolved my problem i.e. split hose as previously posted, I booked the car in for a pre check prior to MOT. I was informed on my previous visit that the steering geometry required resetting. After a thorough check he found that two other exhaust gas hoses were on the brink of failing so were replaced. I had also had trouble with the drivers door failing to open after initial unlocking, probably worked 1or 2 attempts in 10, he located a refurbished mechanism for a fraction of the cost of a Jaguar replacement and all is well. Car passed the MOT and fingers crossed I can enjoy 12 months of trouble free motoring. Nearly forgot he also replaced the tyres as in Poland it is now illegal to drive without winter tyres also giv ethe guy credit he offered to store my summer tyres ensuring he gets repeat custom 🤣did not need too as the quality of work ensured that.

Well Darren (Tomato) was right there was a crack but not the manifold, the rubber pipe below, picture attached. Found a good mechanic locally diagnosed and found fault in 5 minutes following two clowns that said EGR and the other electrical fault. Diagnostics labour and part £ 75.50, very reasonable. I think he will be my go to guy now, friendly, knowledgeable and reasonable.

Cheers Darren, will check that out. Thanks

Hi Joe, failed to see the codes in top left hand corner of reader so here we go. P006A-00 P245A-77 Historic P0102-00 Historic P0110-17 Historic Regards Frank

Thanks Joe, will check again. The only code shown was 0001 which i could not find any reference too.

I have finally received my diagnostics reader, the iCarsoft as recommended. I plugged in following my recurring Restricted Performance and found these two faults - 1. Manifold absolute pressure - mass or volume air flow correlation 2. Exhaust gas recirculation cooler - bypass control circuit. Can anyone please explain the faults and how they can be resolved. Any help greatly appreciated.

thanks for the replies, i will wait for the scanner. i have seen in a post about EGR issues and one the replies suggested Oxycat, going to give it a try.

Just did a one-hour drive to force regen of DPF thinking it may be the cause of the Restricted Performance message popping up. During the hour I did some relatively fast overtakes with no problem, 4km from home a less speedy overtake and up pops the message, very frustrating. Any ides please. I've ordered an iCarsoft LR V2.0 Jaguar OBD2 diagnostic scanner but it is coming from the UK and I live in Poland so won't be here until the 26th. Would like to resolve sooner.

Hi Jon Vey easy to change. I have replaced all my interior lights with LED's, brighter light. The lamp is capless so just pulls ouy. There were no covers on the footwell lamps to remove.

Thanks, will get my local mechanic to check for errors.

thanks for the advice will check tomorrow.

Just comes up with warning triangle stating Restricted Performance and obviously in limp mode but as stated switch off wait one minute and it clears.

This error message has appeared twice in the last ten days but cleared when switched off ignition for a minute. Any thoughts advice welcome. Thanks in anticipation.

should have thought before posting. went back to the car and obviously some sort of reset turning on ignition as the light is working.
