Hi Ashley, I had the same issue with my '08 XKR - thankfully I found a really useful post on here: https://www.jaguarownersclub.com/forums/topic/27232-definitive-xk-x150-to-f-type-front-sub-frame-replacement/ You can follow the post - including photos of my car before and after the replacement subframe. Our local Jag specialist, MR Motors, fitted it. Basically I sourced a used F-Type (2WD) subframe on ebay for about £400, found headlamp level sensors too @ £60 each (MR only needed the one apparently) and bought new trailing F Type arms from Berkshire Jag: https://www.berkshirejagcomponents.com/products/f-type-front-left-hand-rear-lower-lateral-wishbone-t2r18865r Not sure about JoJags (mixed reviews) but I reckon the overall fitting cost with MR was about £800+VAT. Hope it helps!

PTY stands for Program Type, which lets you filter and search FM radio broadcasts by genre My guess is that the '0 / PT' button on the head unit is the PTY button you're looking for?

X250 is 340ps power output and has better interior quality (especially on the Portfolio trim level) but slightly lower performance. X260 is the 380ps version of the supercharged V6, interior is a bit more 'plasticky', more aluminium used in body construction, slightly better performance and handling. I would look at each car on it's own merits, drive one of each and work from there ?

Hmm, thats an odd one but if your mechanic raised that side of the car with jacks it just needs to settle back into position once the engine is running and when the car is rolling it should level out. As regards the coolant leak, maybe prudent to also replace the coolant reservoir pressure cap as this can also lead to the boiling point being lowered by escaping pressure behind the cap

I agree with Dave and although I can say I've never seen anything like that before (apart from a instrument test on some cars which will sweep the gauges up and then down but its not doing that as a sequence). Firstly, my thoughts are the battery is defective - if it has been allowed to discharge to a level where it had to be charged/overcharged it more than likely has a dead cell or two. If you could substitute the battery for another one to see if the gauge does the same thing. Also, reversed polarity when reconnecting the battery may have done some damage if that is the case. Check that the earth connections are secure and there is no corrosion or damaged leads (mice chewing through wiring, etc when it has been stored)

I saw your location as Hampshire but the IoW has a "PO" postcode which of course is Portsmouth so it may be the forum filled in that part of your location. That aside, if a recovery truck could be arranged by whoever then i daresay getting your car to the mainland won't be too much of a problem and once there, more questions can be answered. Have the phone call first, it may be there's some relevant point that i don't know/haven't thought of that precludes repair or makes it easier even. Good luck and keep us posted!
