not being funny jim i would invest in a reader  ive just brought one off eBay just a cheap one for £12.50 as i had egr problems with mine and it read the cars dtc's with no problem,gave me the codes & what the problem was & even reset / deleted them it after.

saved me loads of money first time out of the box 

ron 

you may want to get one Jim did they give  you have the code numbers 

if not mate you need to find someone to plug a reader into the car and get the codes off your cars system  

ron 

hi jim

        do you have a code reader by any chance  

regards Ron

hi Bilal welcome to the club 

                                         now to the car it looks very much like a series one xj6/v12 but ive never seen a manual gearbox version with overdrive.

so i think its a xj6 series 1 

looks like you have a big restoration job in front of you

best of luck.  Ron  

im glad i am not them only one that thinks the lights are poor i was thinking along the same lines paul but as its summer i haven't got round to it yet so as you have post this up ill go hunting too see what's about and keep the post updated 

Ron 

hi andy it does look a little high but as steve said i think they all do 

Ron 

hi Adam and welcome to the club when you look though the forums your see loads of us are meeting up at gaydon in sept why not join us and put your name down.

Ron 

hi dennis and welcome 

Ron 

welcome nick 

                    i have a 24ct plated gold badge (see below) its on my tail gate 

hi Julien

            firstly welcome to the club im i to assume you brought the hard wire electric linking kit with your towbar  if so it may need a update some models do (MINE didnt need it)  1. may i ask how old the caravan is 2. does the hitch have a auto sway hitch lock 3. you say you now have a heavier caravan is it within the nose weight  mgtw etc etc.

as far as i know the update only did the sensors & the high level light,  but i have an x type 2.0 diesel 2009 so i may be wrong for your model of car  sorry i couldn't help any further

some other member  with an xf may be able to give you the 100% answers your looking for.

Ron   

well blanking plate is on & egr cleaned out and all seems fine with kitty all in all about one hour cleaning & fitting and the normal cup of tea half way though.

And all is true as far as i can tell the car runs and drives a lot more responsive when you put your foot down with little fuel reduction if any i still got between 56.7 - 60.4 mpg on a 46 mile trip this morning from a cold start on A + B roads stop /starting.  

so very happy at the moment and the best £2.95p ive ever spent. 

will keep all updated as & when  :)  :)  :)  :) 

(this is on my 2009 x type 2.0)

ive had them on most of my cars all models & makes i've found the best after market ones are helko mainly the two front doors but did fit them to an astra on all four and they seemed fine.   

Ron 

hey peter fill a tanker up and bring it back with you, your have people coming from miles around to fill up mate at that price lol

Ron

your welcome Brian and welcome to the club

Ron 

i did some yrs ago with the xj6 always did the trick for mine and it gave me a better responsive  pedal if you know what i mean
