does anyone know how to change a faulty parking break switch on a jaguar xe manual transmission 2015 plate?

Does anyone know how to find the full spec of my car as I have tried a few websites but they are either not decoding it properly or cant find it?

I've to the same issue. Lights and the brake "pulsing" 4 or 5 times when I start to back up. Lights and warnings go away sometimes (except for the TPS and check engine light) but then return again. I know its been a while but wondering if you figured out what the issue and/or fix was?

With the brakes locked up try loosening the master cylinder from the vacuum unit, if that releases the brakes you will need a new vacuum unit, It appears to be a common fault caused when bleeding the system and pushing the pedal fully to the floor (use a wooden block or similar to prevent excess pedal travel)

Hi i I am looking for somebody to work on my car north of the Tyne. Anyone got any recommendations for people they use?

thanks John, Yes I think you're on the right track, it had been standing for years, the last owner fitted some nasty chinese units on the back, so i'm feeling it's a mismatch of equipment and seized up kit. Master cylinder replaced. working my way around everything else.

Hello to all I'm a new jaguar xj6 owner (months) And I will probably ask questions that have been asked lots of times But I am slowly going through the forums so bear with me so here goes, Xj6 350 3lt 2005 What is expected mpg Suspension warning light after 15 or 20mins(could it be height sensor) Best regards

sure your car of that year would have stop/start as standard if so would stick with a AGM battery, some exide battery are EFB and are not as good or wont last as long as a AGM battery try BATTERY MEGA STORE, there usually the cheapest and have a really good selection of batteries with good guarantees and next day delivery.

as above, window motor/regulator need replacing, there a window module built into the motor.

They dont have one, there a fill and level plug on the side of the gearbox, so the engine has to be running and at a certain temperature before checking the final level, that putting oil through the fill/level plug so that oil just trickles out slowly, lot of clips on youtube.

Unless your car has stop / start technology as standard, it would be a waste of money to fit the AGM version of the battery. Suggest you go to the Kwik Fit website and go to the battery tab and insert your registration number. The website will show the various batteries suitable for your car. Remember to double check the size / dimensions as an unsecured battery is an MoT failure. You don't need to buy the battery at Kwik Fit, you can do a search to find the best value in your area. But the website takes the guess work out of the equation. N6 JMX

Can I use an EXIDE 615 start/stop battery as replacement on my jaguar xf2.2d 2012

Looking for a complete exhaust for my LWB Sovereign. If anyone is aware of one being available please contact me via this post or via email jedeakin@btinternet.com Thanks in advance

I inherited a low mileage 2004 jaguar s type. It is a lovely car and completely different from my Tesla daily driver.

Hi all, the private plate from my X350 XJR is for sale. JG 54 XJR (I read it as 'J(A)G 54 XJR !) Currently on retention. Price is £499 including a set of legal UK plates.

When my X350 (and XFR) suffered from a similar problem, I ended up replacing the window regulator / motor assembly and this cured the problem. About £60 from Ebay I think, wasn't a difficult job.

Hi Bob: I was just going to ask the exact same question as you did. Did you get any answers? Going to check if the trans is "sealed for life" == don't see anywhere in the Owner's Manual where it's referenced. Pip Pip!

Hi Tim I love mine (27k and serviced every year!) Your issue sounds like the pistons are sticking in the cylinders so not properly returning when pressure is released. It could well be if there was air and condensation in the system causing corrosion you may end up needing new calipers all around as well as a new master cylinder assembly to solve all of the issues. If it is half as good as mine though it will be worth it in the end 🙂 Good luck John

thanks John, yes mine appears rust free! Still having brake issues though, it's throwing up DSC fault and locking calibers, although not always the same one. Rear passenger the other day, front driver today. Bit of a head scratcher. It drives with a soft pedal, then gets harder, until a brake locks on. Wait 30 mins and it'll move again. Like triggers broom I'm replacing bits until it's an entirely new car. Might swap out the servo next. Fortunately parts don't seem that expensive, and it's already more reliable than any of my land rovers. But when it works it's great.
