  1. Yippee, the Discovery item cured the dribbles. Ìt's not listed as being suitable for the X350 but it looks exactly the same and fits perfectly. Almost unheard of for anything on a Jag to be fixed so cheaply and easily. Happy days.
  2. Headliner ( when the X350 headlining sags the big polystyrene lump that it's glued onto, known as 'The Biscuit', has to come out to make a job of it). (How do I know???)
  3. I had the same thing on my XType and it turned out to be the EGR valve. It's so long ago that I can't remember the details but I think I took it off and gave it a good clean. Definitely get the codes read as it might be something completely different. Good luck Pete
  4. I'd better send for two DPC6656s then🤔
  5. Wondering why I had to top up the washer bottle so frequently a quick investigation revealed 2 dribbling headlight washers. I'm not sure what stops the water from running through the pump and out of the jets all of the time but I've read that replacing the tee piece that feeds each side with a Discovery item ( DCP 6656) which is some sort of non return valve, is a cheap fix. Maybe it puts a bit of resistance in the line which has to be overcome by the pump. Time will tell. The feed pipe is blanked off and fuse removed awaiting the arrival of DPC6656. For a tenner it's worth a punt. Will report back.
  6. Update! The problem turned out to be a worn compressor and a slightly flat battery. The latter was easily resolved but the compressor turned into a saga. I had a new piston ring in my spares stash which I seem to remember buying because it came with free desiccant for the drier. I fitted the new ring and the message was still there. On the bench the compressor struggled to reach 5 bar never mind 14. A new, proper ring saved the day , restored compression and broke the daily routine of removing the compressor. We never have time to do a job properly yet find time to do it twice.....or three times. The moral of the story is 'Only buy the original Bagpiping Andy kit or risk becoming very efficient at removal and replacement of the compressor.
  7. Morning John. The car has been laid up over winter so that could be part of the problem. The message came back a couple of times over the weekend but now the codes tell me that it's 'Reservoir pressure implausible' which I think usually points to compressor. All wheel heights look fine and the compressor was overhauled a few years ago. Going for a run today with the icarsoft plugged in and my long suffering better half recording data. If she doesn't get bored and we don't fall out I'll report back.
  8. The XK8 is Kate for obvious reasons and the X350 is Big Bertha although my wife has other names for it when trying to find the perfect parking place in the seemingly tiny spaces at the supermarket.
  9. Dreaded Air Suspension fault came up last night on the x350 but it kept going without ant drama till I got home. About 30 miles with the Amber light on. This morning I plugged the icarsoft LR3 in and it showed faults in Suspension, Engine and instrument modules, all voltage related. They all cleared and so far haven't come back. 🤞 . Battery is 18 months old. Hoping it was just a glitch. These cars like to keep us on our toes.😗
