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?

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.

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.

Hi Geoff, the ability of the battery to start the engine is not a good indicator of the battery condition these days. Even a 2005 car has a lot of electronics incorporated and these are very voltage sensitive. So, even though the car can be started by the existing battery, I would suggest that you get it properly checked by an Auto Electrician - if you don't have the tools and knowledge to do it yourself. Incidentally, perceived wisdom is to consider a car battery, lead acid variety, a consumable item and change when it gets to around 5-years old. Do you know the age of your battery? A series of voltage checks will be required at various stages of the operation to truly assess the battery condition. I am sure someone will be along shortly to advise exactly what the various readings should be, but as a starter: 1. With the engine running, i.e. charging from the alternator, the voltage should be in the region of 14.6V 2. After a long run and stopping the engine, the voltage should be in the region of 13.6V if checked immediately on stopping the engine 3. If placed on a charger / conditioner, then fully charged should give a reading of around 12.8V with the reading taken at least 3 - 4 hours after disconnecting the charger, i.e. given the chance to settle 4. If the reading 3 - 4 hours after disconnecting from the charger were to be 12.5V, then the battery is potentially only at 50% charge Please note that batteries are individual, subject to varying duty cycles and at this time of the year, winter and cold, they will not be at their best condition in any event.

Hi Owen, have you looked on the JEC Classifieds website? There is currently a V12 S3 Coupe for sale there at a very reasonable price - for an E-type. The link below should take you there. Incidentally, there are a total of 8 E-types for sale on the JEC site, ranging in price across the spectrum - but all should be ex enthusiasts' cars. jec.org.uk/classifieds/index.php?page=cars-for-sale&id=13539 N6 JMX

Hi All I am a new owner of a 2014 F Type 3.0 V6 its a car I’ve wanted for a while now it’s got 39800 miles on the clock it’s only done 8000 in the last 5 years can I get a reversing camera to work with the dash screen ?

Hi Mark, well done you and welcome to the wonderful world of Jaguar motoring. Post a few photos once you have it on the driveway. Have a great festive season. N6 JMX

Yes i've changed them and had a guy remotely program them to my car. He had to change like 11 parameters in sdd + i had difficulty removing front bumper due to stripped bolts on one of the sides to change the lamps themselves. wiring is the same for both units so that's at least good.

So basically the issue is that it is too high of a risk and many dealers don't even want to do it anymore. The guy that is GURU at this told me that he just changes the IMC with latest SW as it costs less and less risk is involved. So my suggestion is to be on a hunt for a scrapyard IMC and change it, programm it via SDD if it is 2016-2017 model or pathfinder if it is a later model.

Unfortunately I do not have a 2nd key. The 1st time I got locked out I was looking to get a 2nd key fob and a key cut. I could try that.

Hi All, I have only had this car a couple of months. In the last few weeks the EPB switch has started playing up - as in not releasing the parkling brakes Trying to drive also didnt work in doing the auto release. I have been lucky in that it jsut seemed to start working again after 10 to 15 minutes, however at the weekend - the rear wheel release is not working at all . "Both rear wheels are locked and not just one - as I had thought it might be a stuck caliper due to one of them looking brand new and the other the original factory one." I have tried using the method to put the car into service mode with no luck "With ignition on and engine not running" 1. Pull and hold the parking brake switch in the apply position. 2. Wait one second. 3. Press and hold the accelerator pedal in the wide open throttle position. 4. Wait one second. 5. Set the ignition OFF and back ON immediately. I checked the rear wheels and noticed that the black and red wires on each side look to have been damaged - are these something with sending the signal from the EPB to release the brakes, trying to avoid getting the car lifted / checked over just now as no where is available due to xmas. Pictures "Messages on the cars display" 1 - displays when using the EPB switch. 2 - displays when trying to move the car forwards or reversing. 3 & 4 - rear drivers side wheel - black and red wires damaged / corroded 5 - rear off side wheel - black and red wires damaged / corroded. Not sure how the wires would have ended up like this as look to be compressed by something. Any advice greatly appreciated 🙂 Will check forum to see if i can locate anyone else having the same issue.

The Distilled water/Antifreeze was just to get him to the service date and subsequent replacement of the rad. M

Dear Phil, Can you please confirm that after the longer drive the red DPF error was gone? Or was it yellow/orange color error? I had a Red error: "Exhaust fillter full, visit dealer". I drove for 45 minute but it did not go away, did not do the regeneration. I had to take it to the garage shop to fix it. Which XP it was? Thanks a lot Best regards
