    map update

    I have a 2017 XF and I too cannot find a new or used map card. unless you pay Jag almost £200. Total rip of price. Have you had any luck?
  2. I was always under the assumption the fob batteries were rechargeable, that was the point of the docking station After reading the advice above I removed the battery, much easier than doing it on an X Type fob. Tested the battery with a meter, its a fraction over 3 volts, the reason for this is the cell is a lithium rechargeable. I could recharge it if I had a charger to fit. After cleaning the cell and the terminals and bending the one that sticks up from the circuit board in a bit, refitted the cell and now works perfectly In fact a bit too well, I can unlock and lock from inside the house through a window and around the corner in front of the garage where the car is parked out of sight about 50 foot away.
  3. My key and fob works, no problems there, except the battery is getting flat and I have to be next to the car to make it work Question: When the fob is in is slot, is it just in close proximity to be recognised by the car or is it also being charged? I have always thought the battery was rechargeable Because my car gets so little use the battery in the fob never gets long enough time to charge up that's if it does actually charge. So. Is the fob being charged while driving or not? 2nd question: if it is being recharged while driving, is it possible to charge the battery while it remains in the fob in doors with a proximity charger of some sort?

    Today I went to Autoclinic-Telford, Unit 3, sovereign park, Halesfield 24, Telford TF4 7NZ Tel:01952 585555 They managed to turn off the warning message. It seems the NSF sensor was showing an error, I always maintained 2.5 bar in all wheels that's more than recommended. Manager suggested I fit a new sensor. Might fit one when tyre needs replacement or if error comes back Thanks to everyones help. For the time being afaic this thread is closed

    Got my car booked in for 21st with a local auto electrician to see if they can cancel the Tyre System Failure warning. Then it wont matter what condition the wheel sensors are in. My next cat is going to be a mid 1985 model, something with no computers.

    With my car it's the Tyre System Failure. The wheel sensors still work
  10. I used to be a motor mechanic but that was 40 years ago. Then I tried to buy Ferodo. Phone your local motor factor and see what they stock then search for reviews of thoes products. When my front pads were replaced I had to have the sensors replaced as well, be prepared.
  11. The keys are cheap enough on Ebay. Yours could be faulty. Get another and reset it
  12. DPF is full or near to full Its recommended you drive at 60 mph in low gear for min 30 minutes. This gets the exhaust very hot and incinerates the gunk and spits it out. These engines dont take to lots of short trips. Your start off journey with a cold engine will dump a lot of unburnt fuel in the exhaust. I have the same problem with my XF, too much welly in the first 3 minutes it goes strait to limp, fine once warm. It gets a thrashing on the motorway, sometimes I have to make an excuse for a day out just to keep the engine happy
  13. Is it just the centre disc you want? Loads of them on Ebay. Quality varies some fit better than others
  14. Thanks for that info. The injectors were cleaned with a similar product but I will give Millars a go
  15. My wife's X Type 2.2 diesel has severe lumpiness starting from cold. It's so lumpy the car surges forward violently like a heart beat. The Shropshire Jag main agent misdiagnosed changing the EGR valve, still lumpy. They suggest cleaning the injectors, why? Car runs perfect when just above cold. I think it could be the Mass Air Flow Sensor. Any suggestion what the fault could be? Thanks in advance
