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

I have included a photo of my XF 3.0 diesel that shows her to good effect in Vapour Grey. Once I've learned how to navigate this site, I'll add more photos, some of which will surprise even the most cynical critic. The included photograph records my Jaguar XF 3.0D doing 60 miles per gallon at motorway speeds. At the other end of the spectrum, she is absolutely manic! I've had the old gal off the springs when she's become airborne. Yet drive it with grace and she adopts an elegant poise and is

A couple of years ago, the main battery on my XF x250 3 litre diesel would go flat from fully charged over three days to the extent that the engine would fail to turn over and the various systems would incrementally shut down. I changed the voltage regulator, battery, and numerous other components just to see, but the nett effect was always the same. Then one day, the red alternator light appeared on the dashboard. I booked it in at the local 'Indy'.and told them all about it. Their reply was mo

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”.

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

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

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

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

😀Last year I purchased a 2008 2.7 Diesel XJ Sovereign with 74,000 miles, nice car but has a slight oil leak which I’m told is the rear crankshaft seal, anyone recommend a reliable garage in south yorks ?

Hi Terrry and Jim Jim Evans here I got a minor advisory on my XKR last MOT and after my experience with my 2000 year X308 which turned into brown-coloured lace!!! Underside, with a showroom exterior shell I am sensitive to the winter. I sent the mail you appear to have responded to here. I looked at both Lanogaard and Waxoil, and just from words uttered, Lanogaard is coming out on top. However at the last breakfast meet of my division of the XKCC some members mentioned some pretty horrific costs for Waxoil. Can anyone recommend an agent for either treatment and or at what price I should expect to pay. Having read all the Lanogaard info, and knowing the vast history of Waxoil, has anyone got any recommendations? My car was done 2-3 years ago (?Lanogaard) but I would like to get an uptodate on process rating, and know what I am going to plan forward with in the years to come. Mine is off the road in End Oct-early Nov under cover, for the winter (no garage) on trickle charge now, permanently wired. Any help mucho valued. Spyder Jim Evans )
