I have been musing on what preventative work would be advisable (or indeed essential) in terms of undersealing or similar treatments (such as Lanoguard or other market leading options), especially as we are moving through autumn into what is likely to be another wet winter. I would therefore be interested to get recommendations for my car, and what treatment(s) other owners have gone for, and indeed any recommended specialists who could undertake the work.

Hi guys, I took my XK8 in for it’s MOT on Monday, the car started fine, I drove it to the garage with no problems, the car passed the MOT with no issues, the examiner parked the car after he had finished and handed me the keys, I went to started it after paying the fee but the car wouldn’t restart.

Hi all, I'm considering a return to the Jaguar family and fancy an XF with the mild hybrid engine. I have a few questions though and am looking for some advice. A number of motoring sites seem to believe car build quality dropped after Covid so a 2018 or 2019 car might be a better bet than a 2021 or 2022 car. The articles related to all makes and models. Any opinions? - I'm aware some manufacturers invited hassle with the move to wet belts. Are there any known problems with the MHEV power unit?

Welcome aboard Carolyn and sorry to hear of your troubles. Who are "they" that insist it's only scrap now? Also why are they saying it's scrap? My first guess while i await your response is "they" are assuming you would have a brand new crated Jaguar engine supplied and fitted which could be quite costly and match or exceed the cars value on the open market. This would render the car BER - Beyond Economical Repair. However, there are some other options. First, have the existing engine removed, stripped and rebuilt. Second, obtain a reconditioned engine. Third, find a good, used engine with a guarantee. I would suggest having a chat with these guys : https://www.sandcmotors.co.uk/ Sean is an ex-Jaguar MasterTech if memory serves and is extremely knowledgeable. It's about 25-30 years since i've been there but the business model back then was they were servicing/repairs and used parts suppliers plus they would get hold of genuine Jag parts if the customer wanted. Back then they also sold cars too, i bought my XJ40 from them. I'd also had plenty of spares from them for my previous XJ6 which i brought back from being a mobile colander to a roadworthy car again. A phone call will cost you nothing, definitely worth a chat to see what your options are and possibly also get a second opinion on the diagnosis.

I have used a battery 'discarnect' terminal on the battery and it has an inline fuse to keep the memory alive but not enough to start the car - simply twist the rotary know to disconnect and retighten it when you need to use the car

Yes if there is limited space to insert the stud then you will have to remove the hub to fit it - if you can clean up the splines in the hole where the stud goes then it is easy enough for a garage to undo the hub nut enough to insert the new stud and retorque it to the correct specification - chances are it wouldn't have to move much and also may need to use a puller to withdraw it but not needing to take it off completely unless the new stud is awkward in fitting. Also, consider if one has broken the others may also be also be worth replacing at the same time

my money would be on the 2017 supercharged version but always good to take out both for a test drive to decide which one suits you most
