Hi guys (and gals). I'm a newby having picked up my 54 plate Xtype 2.0d in British racing green. Already love it to bits although have a couple of minor issues. Cd changer in boot will not start. I can eject the cassette and reload with disks but when I press the CDC button nothing happens. Also can't seem to work out how to pair phone. When i press the phone button I get "no phone". Are the two problems connected with a fibre cable issue ? Cheers in advance.

hi simon, welcome to the club. sorry im no use at helping you with your probs but other members will. regards charlie

Simon,

Welcome to the club, the members are all fairly tame and can usually find an answer to most problems .

Charlie is being far to modest , but has a Vauxhall fetish at the moment .

ATB,

Trevor

Thanks guys. Love the car already. Looking forward to a few years use of it.

Welcome to the Club, Simon.

I had problems trying to pair my phone with a 2005 X type and came to the conclusion that there was no phone connection.

Has you car got the touch screen? If so, use the Audio button which makes it easy.

If not, I will search my memory of the x type for a solution.

Meanwhile, enjoy your car -- The Jaguar experience is a bit unique.

Regards,

Peter.

Thanks peter. It is not the touch screen type. I'll see at the weekend if I can spot something obvious from the boot end.

Old Peter · August 6, 2014

Hi Simon,

I have had a look at the X Type handbook, but the one I found by googling said very little about the CD Changer.

When I was changing some discs of my S type on one occasion they would not work. I must have had a senior moment as I had put them in the wrong way!

Otherwise, I must think it would be connections/fuse.

Regards,

Peter.

Ok thanks will check.

trevor she told me last week she hates the vauxhall. i said it was you that picked it, she said it wasnt me it was you. i said no it wasnt. it was you i said why did you pick it, she said i liked the colour. bonkers eh ps it was bought to carry my mother & the dogs they have been in it once. regards charlie

Charlie,

I realise that, I was just teasing, the only time I like 'er indoor's dog is when the thing is in the kennels, and the only time it goes in the car is to the kennels or to the vets .

This is the trouble you get with women, and some peeps even renew their wedding vows ! ( only teasing again) .

Get shot of the Vauxhall, just keep the XK.

ATB,

Trevor

I think I've found the problem. On disconnecting the fibre optic cable is looks dead (no light through it) hopefully it's a fuse. When I get a replacement handbook I'll try it. Keep you posted.

jag2 · August 6, 2014

simon good your getting to the bottom of it, charlie

jag2 · August 6, 2014

i know trevor, i do put my foot down now and then, the xk stays or i move out in to a caravan lol. no both cars are here now and staying, just wished i hadnt sold her merc. charlie

knightsmith · August 6, 2014

Simon,

Can't you download a manual online ?

Charlie,

Would you like myself an Peter to pop up to sort things out before you go your own way on September 18th ?

ATB,

Trevor

Hi Simon, and welcome to the club.

I'm new to Jags too, with a 55 plate X Type diesel. Love it.

Get some pics posted.

Chris

Old Peter · August 6, 2014

Google " x type jaguar handbook" and print it off.

All there.

Peter

Stanton Slim · August 6, 2014

Managed to print off the handbook. Maybe a fuse. I'll check over the weekend. Thanks all

jag2 · August 6, 2014

trevor me and HM had a talk the other nite shes all for it. were as i am undecided, watched the debate on tv between salmon and darling. darling was getting heated. think salmon won that one . in my humble opinion i think it will be close. just like new xkr or f-type haha charlie

knightsmith · August 7, 2014

Charlie,

I was only joking, not bothered about it in the slightest, as long as you keep Andy Murray up there . it is probably about the most boring thing this year , and you watched it? surely entertainment can't be that scarce up their, you have the Edinburgh fringe ? !

It's times like this I'm glad I haven't got a telly

Prefer the XKR to the F Type .

ATB,

Trevor

The last king of Scotland was Field Marshall the Reverend Doctor Idi Amin, VC and two Bars, Dada, and the next will be King Alex Salmon.

He thinks that the Scottish need to be governed by the Scottish. The corollary is that Nursery should be run by babies, prisons should be run by criminals, and lunatic asylums should be run by lunatics.

That is purely an aside.

I am very interested in the solution that hopefully Simon will find to sort out his CD player at the weekend.

My weekend will feature driving my S type up North to Leigh [pronounced Leyth] when the Leythers are being hosts to Widnes playing Castleford in the Rugby League Challenge Cup semi final.

knightsmith · August 7, 2014

Peter,

The CD player solution sounds more interesting than what the Scots are up to .

The rugby sounds good, used to play it a lot in my younger days, albeit rugby union which they play down south.

I do like both codes though, and have had some cracking days out at Wembley in years gone by for various rugby league finals .

I hope you have a fab day out, which I'm sure you will.

ATB,

Trevor

P.S. I cannot make heads nor tail of that American Football though can you ? perhaps Alex Salmond can, he seems to know everything

jag2 · August 7, 2014

peter amin was some bananna . he had a soft spot for the queen so the english had a lucky escape ther haha. enjoy your rugby take poor trevor with you hes spending to much time on the moors with his wellies on amongst the sheep lol charlie

knightsmith · August 7, 2014

Charlie,

You cannot spend too much time on the moors ( that's the big green open space with tall things growing out of it) .

ATB,

Trevor
