My dads jag had died. Opened car (keyless) now both battery's have died can I get into the boot with key

Hi Neil, the symptoms you are experiencing are most likely caused by the battery in your XK. In a modern car, like your XK, the battery's ability to start the car is no longer the definitive that the battery is good, even if you have it fully charged. The reason for the faults appearing and reappearing is the spikes to the 12V system caused by an old or failing battery. If you fit a replacement battery, the faults will be cancelled and not reappear. Folks like me consider the battery in my car as a consumable with a life span of just 5 years. Beyond that age, the battery is not capable of sustaining the stable voltages that the car's electronic circuitry needs. N6 JMX

Hi All, Can anyone inform me of where the immobiliser is located on this Jaguar. Lost my fob and my Jag is parked in my garage - the key turns all the instruments on but won't fire up the engine so auto electrician suggested I disconnect immobiliser but cannot locate it. Rgds Bodsy

I looked at my inbox, with nothing there.

Hi Mario, have you tried "Swallows Racing" in the south or "DCR AutoParts" in the north? Both should be able to give you a steer on the parts you require. Pop either into your browser for contact details, or come back here and I can send you links. N6 JMX

Hi all, Recently purchased my first jag, the 2003 s-type 4.2L and im having an issue. after clearing up all the leaks and replacing aging hoses, ive come across an issue with the coolant temp as its reading -30 when engine is left over night. When engine is at temp, it only reaches 24deg, not enough to trigger the fan controls. is there some way to reset the value, ive already replaced the temp sensor and checked over the majority of the wiring at this point, pulling my hair out 🙂

Hello everyone, my first message on here, sorry if there is an existing thread already dedicated to this. I have a Jaguar XF R type 2020 and have had it for approximately a year. Out of the blue this week, the sound from the infotainment system has suddenly stopped. There is a clear connection and I can still connect Bluetooth etc but still no sound at all, radio, sat nav, voice control, sensor alarms, nothing at all. Furthermore, the volume switch will not move from level 12. I can still use the touchscreen/see the satnav but no sound at all. I have checked fuses, connections, reset, reconnected devices, restored factory setting etc but still no sound. If anybody has any advice to try and resolve, it really would be appreciated. I maybe resigned to a diagnostic and hoping of course my amp hasn’t blown but wanted to check if anybody had other (cheaper) suggestions. Many thanks everyone!

On removing the 2 fuel pumps from the vehicle I see that one has previously been repaired as it has wires crimped. The second seems to be original and has a black box between the fuel pump and the connector on the fuel tank. The previously replaced fuel pump does not have such a box fitted. Does anyone know what this does? Is it important and should both fuel pump have this black box fitted. Finally, is it possible get hold of new ones?

I also have an iCarsoft JLR code reader - all good with it so far but it has spent most of its time with me in my Honda CR-V due to a recurring knock sensor fault which has turned out to be something else.

Welcome aboard Adrian, lovely looking XKR there, first i think i've seen in white.

Thanks for he thoughts and advice, I'm still thinking about it, but there is a drain plug and a level screw that can be used to gauge the right amount has been put in. There are no issues with the auto transmission at present so I might just go for checking the level and topping it up if necessary. Then there is the question of what ATF fluid to use- I've seen somewhere that there are two types - one for earlier boxes and one for later models ...... so is mine an earlier or later box on a 2005 car? Any ideas? Thanks.
