Hi Gary and welcome to the club. I've had my 2.7 se for about 18 months now and it's never let me down. Having said that it's had a new battery and heater control valve. Your Must haves shouldn't be a problem mines got parking sensors front and back , heated seats , fold back mirrors, cruise control, memory seats and steering wheel. The foot peddles also can be electronicly adjusted. Things to look out for are , Sills corroded, water in boot ( that's where the battery is ) Cambelt replaced if over 105,000 miles, smooth gear changes if auto, heater working as it should and check on the government mot history Web site to make sure there are no nasty surprises waiting to appear. If you choose to purchase the car you won't look back because they are a pleasure to drive and you will go everywhere with a smile on your face. Gary.

If the one off x type den is not the right one try eurojags. I got a used one of them for my 2.7 diesel for about £30 + vat and postage. Gary.

Hi , I've only just noticed that after fitting a new battery a couple of weeks ago because of 'gearbox fault ' coming up on start up in the mornings (cold ones ) the lurch I had (second to first gear ) as also gone. Don't understand why but not complaining. Gary.

Had it fitted in the week but problem still there so will have to look at the control panel next.

Hi, I will let you know as soon as it's been fitted. Cheers, Gary.

Hi Sal, I've got similar problem on my stype diesel , it blows hot on drivers side only. I was told the heater valve could be the problem so I bought a second Hand one from eurojag and its being fitted this week. Hopefully that will sort the problem out. Hope this helps , Gary.

Hi,Possible candate for stupid question of the week but I fitted a new battery last week and when I filled up today the estimated range has gone up by 60mp tank full compared to what it usually says. It is just coincidence ? It's a 2.7 diesel auto. Cheers,Gary.

I was 46 years old when I bought my jaguar and you don't drive the car it carries you to your destination with grace in space and at pace. I wouldn't have it any other way. Gary.

Hi , My brother did the work for me and removing the battery didn't cause the fob to be reprogrammed. Gary.

Hi , When I first got my jag both key fobs worked intermittently and was told it was a main dealer repair job but after a couple of months I decided to google the issue and found out that when I replaced the micro switches and the rubber pad the keys worked perfectly without the need to reprogram them. Hope this helps. Gary.

Good morning , I'm getting the gearbox fault on startup which clears when I switch the car off then on again. I have been advised that it could be the battery which throws up error faults when it starts to lose its efficiency. Once started in the morning the problem doesn't come back until the next day. So I think the battery may be down on power when it's cold in the morning , maybe worth getting the battery tested. Gary.

Hi Ian, Thanks for the advice I'll give them a call next week. Cheers Gary.

I've just got back from mot test and great news the jag sailed through no advisories. So my next job is to get the cam belt replaced. So does anyone know of any jag specialist in the north west (Bolton/Wigan) area please. Any help will be mostly appreciated. Thanks Gary.

Thanks Ron I'll let my friend know.

Hi , My friend has just bought a stype 2.7 diesel 06 but the disc for the sat nav is corrupt. Does anyone know where to get a new disc from please. We've tried fleabay but can only find 02 disc. Thanks , Gary.
