Thanks guys, BMS have the right battery at the right price (pretty much the lowest around). And next day delivery, thanks.

Hi Rob, if you have read this thread, it tells you above how to manually lower and raise the convertible top. Check the handbook at around page 111. Since your profile does not contain a location, no-one will know where abouts you reside, so your other question on cost to rebuild the cylinders is a touch moot. You will need to locate a suitable hydraulics workshop to assess and check the cylinders, once you have them removed from the vehicle. N6 JMX

On a 2003 jag s type 3.0 v6 4 door...check engine light / restricted performance/ cleaned the sensors/ throttle body actuator clip fell apart/no accelerator response/ while looking at the engine right side coil packs after the 3rd one, found a open hole ??? Into the engine. (Didn't think that right no sensor on the wiring harness for that location, looking at that side as example.... I put a plug in it. ) / the clip and no manual held me up for 3 weeks trying to get replacement with little funds. Online or napa $5.- $125. ( Part numbers I did find didn't translate to auto store part numbers) /so with no clip just squeezed wire ends so they stayed on the pins of the throttle body/ orange wire on top grn on bottom/had accel response yeppie/then put the code reader again/ now #2 misfire on ond meter. Check the coil pack on #2 it's saturated in oil,check the other 2 on that bank also saturated in oil ???/ Cleaned out the oil and coil packs/ put engine cleaner via gas thru it runs better still cuts out if I accell to fast and still a rough idle/Have not removed the manifold to check the left bank of coil packs has oil in them as well (not without a repair manual and gasget replacements)/ now however the check engine light is flashing now along with the red warning light on the dash still restricted perform. That's the sequence of troubleshooting this far. Have gotten responses....new engine/ blown worn head gasket / piston rings / to the catalytic converter/ me... the plug I put in (matching the other ones???)... filling the hole...couldn't find anything as to what should be there really...Any suggestions asap greatly appreciated. Thanks G.

once you find a battery, try the battery mega store, order before 12 and get it next day, a lot cheaper than most shops cheers Joe

I can now report that this car has been sold to a guy looking to get it back on the road rather than break it for parts. So that's one more future classic saved. 🙂

How much to rebuild convertible top cylinders, how can I manually take down top for now

How much to rebuild cylinders

Go to the Kwik Fit website and locate the "Batteries" tab, enter your registration number and post code, then press search. The website does all the work for you and then you can do a search for the best price for the battery you select - do not have to purchase from Kwik Fit. Note that the most important attribute to your selected replacement should be dimensions. It MUST fit into the battery tray and be held securely in place, it would be an MoT failure if not secured.

My 2008 jaguar x type alpine stereo also had the drivers door speaker and back speakers stopped working. After changing the car battery I did adjust the balance adjustments and fader but no help

Hi… iv managed to get hold of a laptop with SDD, and iv been playing around with it cos iv got the bits to fit a heated steering wheel to my 250 XF, but it appears that i might have to have SDD in engineering mode to update the CCF. How do i go about getting a code or a key generator to generate a code?

Welcome Gordon 😊

Thank you for the link and the welcome. I will certainly look that up. Much appreciated.

Hi Steve, well done you and welcome to the wonderful world of XKR motoring - I am sure you will enjoy it immensely. If you are looking for an XK marque specific club to join for outings and gatherings, I would recommend the XKCC, there is a coordinator in your area and you will find them at: Home | XKCC N6 JMX

Hi Gary, Thanks for the comments. I decided to buy the car in the end after seeking many opinions and I'm very pleased that I did as it seems to be absolutely fine. After all, I don't suppose there are many one owner, low (ish) mileage examples left. In the 3 months of so that I've had it I've only done about a third of the mileage that you have, however the car feels solid, and runs smoothly without any signs of smoke or other nasties. I also had it thoroughly checked out by Tom Lenthall who gave it a clean bill of health. I'm pleased you also found a good one, yours is incredibly low mileage and must drive like new! I'm now looking forward to summer of motoring and a few car shows.

Anxiety

I'm thinking of a set of summer tyres on 17" bola rims from wheelbase, quick photoshop mock up bellow. Aside from the fact they'll be worth more than the car, what do you think? They're as close to a Jaguar pepper pot as I can find, I like the disc look, I'm not so keen on 5 star spoke designs for this car, helps fill the space better. For reference original jag alloys wheels. Sorry it's so muddy!

Separation

Wanted a laptop with V130 software for sale for my xj350 v8 3.6 it's security shutdown on me and our 50th anniversary is the end of this month . Can anyone help please? Philip

2017 F Pace with 10” touch pro system. When using navigation there are are no direction voice commands although media playing does lower the volume as if it is working. Though the various searches I have tried altering the volume when it should be saying something. I have tried setting the keyboard and languages as it was mentioned this can effect all with no luck . Finally contacted my local dealer in the uk from the Sytner group and they want to charge me £222 to look at and then might be more if they have to spend more time etc. is anybody aware of other options prior to this ridiculous cost just to get sat nav voice working.
