hi Dave firstly welcome to the club i had something along the same lines in my old x300 yrs ago, it turned out to be an engine mounting ? maybe have a look around the engine bay and give a few things a wiggle or the exhaust pipes etc best with two people one sat inside the car to give it a rev up & see if anything is loose etc if you cant move or see anything then it may be a trip to the garage I KNOW I DONT HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS BUT PLEASE KEEP YOUR HANDS & ANY LOOSE CLOTHING OUT OF THE WAY OF ANY MOVING PARTS sorry i cant help any futher Ron

Ok mark thanks Regards Ron

hi mark i haven't checked yet i assume the side light bulbs on all x type models are the 501 type Ron

hi Roland & welcome to the club as im down south i cant help but there will be someone here that can no doubt good luck with the car Ron

hi paul i think peter has it right and your find same of the parts in and around the engine bay have a ford sticker or have it stamped on them Ron

hi Richard they go on flea bay from around £150 - £200 or you can get some good second hand ones with a few kerb marks etc from £50 upwards ron

i think Miltec have a nice sound to them i have them fitted on my r32 golf, never fitted one to a jaguar as i think they sound nice as they are Ron

id get in touch with their head office vosa should of revoked his authority to do MOT'S / and fined stratsone / and for the service manager & MD of the dealership both should be pulled over the coals for the strokes their staff have pulled. but thanks to members likes yourself others don't get fooled the there antics. well done Dave regards Ron

rranity just adding my two pence worth and i am not 100% about this, but was told that the indie garage if used has to be VAT reg as well or this could invalidate your warranty as well, i don't know what it has to do with being VAT reg this is what i was told Ron

thanks guys for your help i only wanted them for ref / back-up just in case my code reader failed kind regards to all Ron

hi and welcome Jon to the club,& indeed hope to see you at a few meets in the area im in reading so not a million miles away from you Ron

i've had a good look peter and i couldn't find it anywhere i wasn't going to print it off just keep it on my laptop for ref & info Ron

hi all some time ago a member or someone put up a post about fault codes etc a list of what's what so it can be downloaded i cant find now ? any ideas where its gone thanks Ron

hi Jim forgot too say if its glued in place you may want to leave the car for 24 hrs or so, to let the glue set the trim in place. the only reason i know this is when a dealer replaced mine on another car Ron

i assume you mean the trim 3/4 down on the door take the door card off and with the window up you should see some plastic clips about 3/4 down the door could be white / black , squeeze / pop them out and the whole thing should come away if you cant see clips then its glued in place , now when you put the new one in you may have to buy new clips only a few £ you may also need get some adhesive to keep it in place. you will find some are just clipped in place and some are clipped & glued depending how good a fit the moulding is if this is not the trim then send a photo and i will see if i can send the info you need hope it helps Ron

hi and welcome Gordon

what make of code reader do you have steve
