Hi Vinny, there are currently 9 Mk2 variants listed for sale in another classic Jaguar Forum site, follow the link below: jec.org.uk/classifieds/index.php?page=cars-for-sale&category=1594 N6 JMX

You do know that you have posted these items for sale in a Jaguar General tab, which is a bit strange since there is a "Jaguar Marketplace" section further down the Forum. One more post in the General section and your post disappears from the headline view and I doubt anyone is going to look in a General tab for any items that might be for sale. Suggest you repost in the Marketplace section, where people would look. N6 JMX

ITEM IS NOW SOLD!

I put a new shifter box in The only way I can take the vehicle out of park is by hitting the silver button, I don’t know what it’s called but I have pictures for reference Refer to pic number 1 Then when I first took the console apart I realized that a sensor was unplugged which I believe could be the initial problem to why I can’t go into other gears without the silver button, is this supposed to hook up anywhere? Refer to pic number 2 I tried basic things like unplugging and plugging the battery, unplugging the dsc fuse and plugging it back in to maybe reset it after putting the new shifter in. All I know is I got back in my car and as I noticed the DSC system fault, ever since it wouldn’t let me shift gears. Any suggestions?

I’m interested in the same. Did you get this to work?

Looking for source for fi insulator bushing and oring

maybe a silly question I have 2004 x type 2 litre V6 what spark plugs do I need and why platinum cant a standard plug be used

Hi Martin, welcome to the club. My XKR is 15 years old, 60,000 miles and still under the Jaguar manufacturers warranty. Only thing you know for certain is that a failure to renew at the annual subscription will guarantee a big bill, which in hindsight could just as easily have been covered by squirreling away the annual premium for the warranty package into a savings account.

Just purchased a 2007 s-type, I have a problem with a hard brake pedal when coming to a stop, braking is great upto that point. As car is in drive I have to press very hard on brake to control car. Is this a similar problem

Hi Joseph, you need to get your car on diagnostic equipment to find out if there are any stored fault codes, then someone may be able to point you towards the appropriate cure. N6 JMX

Hi. Wondering if someone could help me, there is a strange banging noise coming from rear left hand side of my xe r sport, it happens when I put it into drive and sometimes park but stops when the car is driving. Help please

Sorry for the delay. I’m in the us and ready, willing and excited about purchasing. amcope@gmail.com

Not as scary as it sounds, a Dedicated Ground Return is a negative cable from the alternator that runs back to the battery. Here I have bolted a tag to the alternator housing with the cable lug riveted. Cable is pure copper 8awg, and I used 5 meters. From the tag to behind the FR wheel liner then along the RH rocker cover, then behind the RR wheel liner above the exhaust to a convenient blind grommet into the boot. This is delivering a better charge and it is not surprising since the negative to the battery runs thru 3 meters of mild steel chassis after the engine. The DRG is also better for canbus due to lower signal interference.

Thanks for posting this. I was under the impression that it was a straight swap. Nice to know on advance what replacement parts I will need. ( bought at a reasonable cost!) Now I just need to see if my local jag specialist is willing to do the swap without charging a fortune! Thanks again, AL

Still desperate for a laptop with sdd V130 software willing to pay cash My Jaguar is still on the drive with alarm and valet mode. Today I have removed cleaned every earth point and checked every fuse still not going, missing driving it now. If anyone has a laptop I will pay cash and collect. Phil

My 2011 XF is leaking oil on the bottom of the timing chain cover. My mechanic recommends I replaced it but it’s a couple thousand pounds. He’s recommending I replaced the timing chain and tension mechanism at the same time which will break my cost to about 3500 pounds. That is just about what the car is worth.. should I repair it or get rid of the car?

Here she is in all her glory, very pleased with my purchase. The dealer didn’t take any pictures of the inside but it’s ivory with light brown carpets. Full history almost all Jaguar 100k miles for an absolute steal. Hurry up and get this dent done that the dealer said he’s getting done. Can’t wait to drive now.

The remap will be in association with an Elite four pipe back box which supposedly releases another 20hp so overall I'm looking at a 40 - 50hp increase, but the main driver is looks (4 pipe) deeper noise and a slight increase in mpg which will increase the cars touring range, gaining a slightly sharper quicker car is a bonus. I prefer the XK to the XKR as it has a smoother ride, a lovely supple feel in corners (still with little roll) and has better ground clearance.

Ah, OK Jim, didn't notice the year of the car !

Hi Jim (N6 JMX), I've emailed the company in Bristol and am now just waiting on a reply (although that was a couple of days ago and I've not heard anything back from them yet). I may just give them a nudge to see if they received my original message. D.

Hi Scott, excellent, well done you. Hope you are very happy in the world of Jaguar motoring. If height is fine, you may well find a sensor has a fault. N6 JMX
