  1. Without seeing a wiring diagram I cannot help on that one
  2. Wiring won't be a problem, if you need help I'll draw you up a diagram
  3. I am getting far better than that on a 4.0 supercharged V8
  4. Must agree with Peter, logic tells me if the noise was not there prior to the hose being changed then it must and has got to be something down to them
  5. Thats a big hole
  6. Haven't a clue on that one Andy, why was you resetting it every month?
  7. Hello Mark and welcome, plenty of advise on here if you are stuck
  8. With all due respect is it really worth changing a piece of equipment and switches at the whim of a suggestion? Each and every item is at a cost which brings further costs having it fitted. Take it to the dealer who should have the depth of experience to deal with the issue and Jaguars technical support on the end of a phone
  9. Charles, What and where is the aforementioned cover between the rear seats on he XKR mine as on long seat with no division. I intrigued by this so called fuse 19 and wish to attempt it myself. Nice sunny Autumn day and plenty of scope for a blast on the A4059 to frighten the sheep with the sound along with the sad hikers.
  10. Under no circumstances should control settings be lost when disconnecting a battery. The ECU will have a back up up capacitor which acts as a battery holding enough charge for such things as control settings, sorry but this is a fallacy. I also have a trickle charger thats used for winter storage of my car which as permanent connections to the battery which then goes to a small plug that retrospectively connects to the trickle charger adapter, quite a useful piece of equipment if you are not using the vehicle for long periods in fact I also have an inverter 12V to 240V so plug this into the cigarette lighter socket when away on long holidays then plug the trickle charger into the inverter, obviously it a continuous supply of charger charging battery, and battery supplying inverter
  11. Shaun, hopefully I can assist with the parking sensors. They work on a type of daisy chain meaning if one sensor is defunct then none of the others will work. It could very well be the case that you may have a dodgy one which work intermittently therefore your statement 'mind of their own'. The simple method for establishing as to whether a sensor is working correctly is for you to get someone to sit in the drivers seat, start engine, apply hand brake fully and select reverse checking each sensor in turn for a clicking sound. If no clicking sound is present on one or more then I would suspect the sensor/sensors to me at fault. Tip to the wise, don't get her indoors to sit in the drivers seat whilst performing the test she may seize the opportunity to get rid so to speak :D
  12. Like you I don't like locking wheel nuts/bolts having experienced a problem where one sheared whilst undoing it on a Merc I owned. Took me days and a lot of drill bits to eventually make an hole large enough to get a decent size screw extractor in there. There are many movement alarms out there and most will have an adjustment so that it will not go off in heavy winds etc, just when car is jacked up.
  13. Filled up yesterday in the CLK albeit in a Tesco Supermarket (Neath) £125.9 for an oil burner
  14. As an electrical engineer in the 70's 80's with J W & E Morris I was involved with a lot of the building and extending of the plant
  15. I haven't been back in the works since that awful day Peter and although not yet retired have no intention of ever going back in there
  16. Nothing to boast about but I was in Blast Furnace No.4 the day it blew up in 2000/2001
  17. Port Talbot steel works Trevor, thats something to keep to yourself :D
  18. Just down the hill from me then Phillip (Rhigos, Penderyn)
  19. Nice one thank you Phil
  20. What you have listed will only come up the same on a fault code reader front which again you can reset however this will not resolve your problem. I'm at a loss on that one buddy it's obviously going to take someone who have experienced the same scenario.
  21. Yes I have Trevor and I can remember selling mine for £300 You can purchase a decent 2nd hand XKR for the money they are fetching
  22. A V8 has been done before in this car Trevor on many occasions. Many moons ago I managed with a little manipulation of the bulkhead to get an A series 1500cc into my old Mini Cooper S, The original Cooper S of course
  23. That is really really bad Tony, no offence but what if it had been a woman in that position stranded at the side of a dual carriageway for 7 hours? I know my wife would be in a total panic and I would not be an happy choppy. You are a man of great courage not raising your fist, I think I would have been locked up having gone through what you experienced, I hold you in esteem.
