I have recently changed cars and took these alloy wheels off before selling. I originally bought these second hand and fitted them to a 2015 XE. 20 inch propeller style in good condition but done scuffs due to a careless tyre fitter. Happy to answer any questions. Collection only from Nottinghamshire. £800

Hi everyone, Important member safety notice: please be extremely cautious when buying parts from people you do not know. We have recently seen a small number of scammers joining the community and attempting to target members with used car parts. These adverts or private messages may look tempting, often featuring rare, interesting, or hard-to-find parts, but the seller may then ask you to continue the conversation by email, either with them directly or with a “friend”. Please do not engage with

I have the restricted performance on my xf. Like the old limp mode..i can drive okay one day. But if this comes on. You can't use the car. As anybody had this and what is the problem likely to be.. I've not done any diagnostics on it yet.. Is it an easy fix or could a bigger expensive problem to fix. Kind regards Ian

1993 Jaguar XJS V12 6.0 Coupe Signal Red, Cream Leather, 45,000 miles Less than 900 of these made worldwide! Here is a Jaguar that still turns heads the way it did when it left the factory more than three decades ago. Finished in the most evocative of colours Signal Red and paired with original Cream leather, this 6.0-litre V12 Coupe has covered just 45,000 miles from new. One fastidious private owner kept the car from the day it was delivered until 2018; the service book carries ten off

hi all, not sure if I have got this in the right forum on the site so apologies in advance if I haven't ! The issue I have is that my 3.0D XF audio suddenly stopped working and greyed out on the touch screen resulting in the Sat Nav, Radio, phone, USB charging port in centre console or reversing sound not working. After a bit of looking on here and Google etc it looked like the DAB unit under passenger seat would be the culprit as they can get water ingress so I duly purchased a replacement an

It should be obvious that Jaguar fitted heat shields for a reason from new, to protect the underside from excessive heat during a 'regen'. I'm no longer a spritely thing so I depend on my chosen repairers to keep me informed as to the health and wellbeing of those parts I can't get to see. To help me in the inspection process, I bought a cheap but very useful endoscope which plugs into a mobile phone and has bright illumination in parallel to the quality camera lens. So, I spent twenty minutes

I have noticed for a few weeks that the pricing on the local fuel price app has been out of date. This was due to the data we have been receiving was in US date format mm-dd-yyyy. (I blame trump because i can lol) So you should find the widget a more reliable source. I will keep an eye on it over the next few days JOC Petrol Price Tool If you spot any big price differences then please let me know

I’m afraid that’s not working, but thanks. When I saw a YouTube video of accessing underneath I was relieved but there is literally no visible access on drivers side from underneath sadly

Have you tried 'bouncing' the bonnet - e.g. find a suitable (not flimsy) part of the bonnet where you can use the palms of your hands across where the catch is sticking and try to bounce it down and also lift under the edge to see if that releases it. Sorry forgot to add - wedge something on the latch release lever so that it is pulled back as far as it will go and holds that position. Once the bonnet is up then lube the latches with WD40 and then also spray grease

Hello I’m fresh new member to the X type world and really falling in love with it a lovely 2008 diesel sport trim with wonderful interior I want to replace oil, and also replace crankshaft pulley, however drivers side bonnet won’t release - it did on test drive?- and I can’t see nothing but a very full bonnet from underneath with torch. I’m stuck?

By slight oil leak - I would always define it as either a leak or a weep, sounds pedantic but a weep is no more a worry until it becomes a steady leak of oil. Understandably, there shouldn't be anything coming out from the engine, fuel, oil or coolant but occasionally they do emit fluids but I would keep an eye on it and if you see drops of oil on the floor then take it in to get it sorted

It's the front blind motor drive / work gear at fault, or binding 'feet' for the actual blind... However, it's a known weak point on the X351.. Mine has just gone also, and I I have ordered a complete Cassette repair kit as JLR call it, which is the motor and drive gear as a complete unit. Simply replacing the motor is false economy as there is a plastic spacer somewhere In the assembly that keeps the motor and drive gear together. Over time, this wears down, creating a gap, giving the symptoms you are experiencing. Later part revisions changed this plastic spacer to metal. Changing out the drive motor and gear involves dropping, but not removing the headliner, some wiring connectors and removal of 3 small T25 torx screws and a bolt holding the motor assy runner to the rear of the sunroof cassette.. that then slides out, replace everything in reverse. It's involved, I won't lie, and can take a few hours to sort out. hope this helps
