Hi Jim, An excellent and likely diagnosis of the cause. I'm grateful to you. I am encouraged in that there are no messages on the on board computer which is not slow in coming foreward on just about every possible topic - except this one !! So if it is real, cannot be serious. The car is running fantastically well, recently serviced plus gearbox with new sump pan etc., I usually achieve on a run of mixed roads 32 - 34 mpg, as shown on the onboard computer. Thanks again Jim, Kind regards   Dominic

Fascinating and helpful to see the issues that F Pace owners have had. My 3 litre diesel 2018  had bottom end failure at 64, 000 miles . Have been looking at scrap/new engine/recon engine. Was offered second hand but not going to take a chance. My concern is after spending £8,000 on recon engine or £15,000 plus on new I could have another expensive failure on car worth £16,000. I wish I had known about bottom end failure problems. I have been quoted £5300 to buy car as it is with bottom end failure

2000 S Type 3.0. For Sale. 49,000 miles only but unfortunately no MOT. Sell for only £450. Clearly worth a lot more and a great genuine car once fixed. It has been used as a second car since new - hence the very low mileage. The car is beyond economic repair when having to pay £80 + an hour for mechanics to fix, but is very fixable by a Jaguar enthusiast. New petrol tank recently fitted. Car located in Macclesfield Cheshire. Contact me for more detail if required. Email: jbp234186@gmail.com
