There is a another post from the same chap (Steve) in the New Owners section where the car he is looking at is a "low" miles (28,000) 2009 facelift X-150 with a sketchy service history and these 2 x faults showing - from a private seller, meaning nil warranty. Asking price is £16.5k and whilst the Pedestrian System can be the front sensors, my experience is that the explosive cartridges are the most common fault - they need not have deployed (making the bonnet unable to close) but they do have age related deficiency's that requires them to be replaced. For that price and poor presentation / service record, I would walk away, there are plenty good examples available with more protection. N6 JMX

Hi Dan, sorry for your loss but I hope you find the JOC community able to assist you with your task. Appreciate you are new to the Forum, but if you explore the Forum Pages a little deeper, you will find that there is a specific section for dealing with the sale of cars. In the Forum front page, scroll to the bottom of the viewable pages and you will find there a "Sale" section. Make a post in there, listing the exact model of car including year, engine size, fuel type, mileage, condition, etc, Ideally, you should also provide an indication of the sale price you are looking for from the car - sorry I can't help you with that as I am not knowledgeable on the S-type models. You will also be able to attach some photos to show the car, ideally in a good light and a suitably picturesque location - driveway is not ideal but better than nothing. Show photos of the side, three-quarter view, rear and front. Show the fitted wire wheels in a separate image close-up. Provide an image of the interior, front and back, and one of the boot and engine bay - bonnet raised. Give mention of the MoT history, i.e. does it have a current MoT and the expiry date. Mention the service history - where it was performed and at what intervals. Let folks know how long the car was with your dad and how he used it - daily driver, weekend car, show car, etc. Hope this helps guide you to make a listing in the correct location of the site. Good Luck. N6 JMX

What does everyone think? I personally am really hoping that I don`t lose my love for Jaguar, but I do fear this may spark the end of our relationship!! https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/jaguar-unveils-new-logo-and-look-as-it-prepares-for-an-electric-future/ar-AA1ulqoV?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=040710aebc7f47f48508ce7c50aa3f1f&ei=11

Sorry to hear that but I understand as I am in the same position. Best of luck

compared to the traditional Jaguar logo, they look very amateur a bit like a kids drawing contest work

I'm reluctantly selling my beautiful XJ TDV6 that I have had the pleasure of owning for the last four years and have had 40k miles of smiling driving! Many trips to France for skiing and wine buying. A really good car that just wafts along. Fully maintained including recent cam belt change. Just had an MOT which had a few jobs but all done along with a service. Please call me to discuss history. Price: £5,950 OVNO Location: Devon Nick 07968 186559

Thought I'd better say hi . I've not long bought a 2016 XF portfolio that also had a lot of options fitted to it including large incontrol pro screen, full LCD drivers display, some fancy brown leather seats that are heated all round and cooled in the front., HUD (I love this) and heated steering I did have a ford X type Jag about 5 years before, great car but needed more space. XF is high(🤷🏻‍♂️) mileage 111,000 when I bought it, now 114,000 . Cam chain kit done just before purchase. No major issues, had a full service by a friends garage and underneath fully checked. Also had coolant flush and changed and Gearbox flushed and serviced - for peace of mind and so I have a baseline to work from. Fitted a new battery as (a) I had no idea how old it was and (B) When It was cold and under a lot of electrical load first thing when the car was cold, it stalled out.(As soon as the heated screens,seat, steering wheel and hi defrost tuned off it was fine)and I've not had a problem since. Niggly jibs to do is a drivers door rattle when closing or being enthusiastic with the music suspect it's the foam insulation on the cables, and not being able to sign into the navigation, although it works and my incontrol pro app records journeys etc (bought the two year deal after the free month) but I'm in frustratingly slow chat with jaguar help for this, but now they want to see my logbook again (even though it was all changed after I took it to a main stealer and I have an active account set up.

Hi Trevor, I believe the production ceased on the 31st of October 2024, for all / any new vehicles in the UK as the F-Pace was axed from the line-up, following the demise of the XE, the XF and the F-Type earlier in the summer. The E-Pace and the I-Pace, previously assembled at Magna Steyr in Austria, have also ceased being built for the UK market - although still being produced for other global markets for the time being. The company claims that they did not make any money on these deleted models, so it's not an issue for them. Must be some business model that can support no sales for at least the next 14 months - new "all electric" production sales begin in 2026. Hopefully we are not about to enter the arena of enjoying our classic cars where the manufacturer has gone from the world of vehicle production, like Triumph, Austin, Rover, etc. Suppose we will now just have to imagine (or reimagine) what it's like to enter a showroom and pour over a new Jaguar!

Hi Paul, welcome to the forum and thanks for posting a few pictures of your very presentable XF. Hope you have may enjoyable motoring miles with it. Believe it or not, Jaguar actually allows folks to download and keep the Quick Start Guide and the Owners Handbook for free, check out via the link below. If you want a physical handbook for the glovebox, there are usually some to be found on eBay, or from the Breakers like Auto Reserve. Jaguar XF Library & Owner Manual | Jaguar Owners N6 JMX

Thanks O.T.H, I'm very pleased with it

Hi Paul -- Welcome to the club plenty to see and talk about here ?? - And that XF you have looks really good - Frank

How do I replace the windscreen wiper blades on my 2019 Jaguar XF? (This is the X260 model) I cannot seem to get the blades to the service position as shown in the owners handbook? Also I am unsure as to how the blades actually clip on or are taken off. Ca anyone help please?

Hi You might want to put more info up like what engine it has, reg and any service history and plenty of pictures if your selling, would recomend Ebay as a classified, fixed price and has by far the best auidience of any other platform in the uk cheers Joe

Just for info, after discussion with JLR they agreed the car was UK built then exported to Japan. a helpful chap then sent me the original build specification for the car Result!

Hi Paul, good for you. The life span of a battery in a Modern XK is around 5 years with a good proactive maintenance call to change the battery when it gets to that 5 year mark. It's amazing just how many faults the Modern XK can throw up simply because the battery is on the wane. In these cars, the ability to start the car is not a good indicator that the battery is fit for further service as the electronics that make this car work are simply very sensitive to low voltage. The takeaway lesson should be to have the car on a Smart Charger - Ring Automotive or C-Tek - when leaving the car idle for longer periods. In my own case, if my car is going to be standing for more than a couple of days, I connect up my Ring Automotive RSC612 Smart Charger to the remote charging posts in the boot. The RSC612 will also work on vehicles with an AGM battery for Stop/Start technology. Happy motoring. N6 JMX

Lower the window by 11". Remove the door card and sticky foam, cut thru the flexible glue. Loosen the two window clamp bolts and remove the glass, always use a suction cup to hold the glass. Remove the speaker box then disconnect the connectors from the door lock and window motor - access the window connector via the port in the door. Unbolt and remove the window slider frame. I have removed the window motor and gearbox but it is not strictly needed, using T25 remove the DC motor and worm drive. Clean the shaft and apply a mid to heavy grease. The light oil used by Jaguar dries and there is metal contact, greatly slowing the DC motor. With that done replace, paying attention to the brush contacts. Re assembly is a reverse of the procedure. With the glass now in keep the window bolts loose and close the window fully, now tighten the glass clamps. Result: one rejuvenated window motor.

those rims are fire! great choice, mate.

...and my pair.... I've had the Sportbrake for 6 years and the X-Type for 12 months. It still has under 27k on the clock, serviced every 12 months and an interior like new. It even had the previous owners leather driving gloves in the glove box along with a bag of Werthers 🙂 It now has new sills and is fully Lanoguarded underneath. Failed 2 MOTs in its life, once for headlight aim and once for sills in 2017. Currently working on the original wheels but got some refurbed X-Triple 5 on at the moment with Goodyear Vector 3 all seasons.

Hi Andrew, I assume you have not yet undertaken a trial fit of your 18 inch space saver, at least to the front axle of your XKR? As Jim has stated above, the 18 inch, red wheel WILL NOT FIT the XKR as a consequence of the larger front brake callipers. It has to be the 19 inch space saver for the XKR, which in Jaguar supplied days was black in colour, whilst the 18 inch was red. Nowadays, there are multiple companies offering space saver spare wheels and one can no longer rely on selecting by the colour of the wheel. I have spotted black space savers that are only 18 inch. Anyone who needs / wants to procure a space saver spare wheel needs to take due care and attention so as not to be caught out. And, DEFINATELY do not elect to purchase a suitable standard (front) road wheel as that would be dangerous if fitted to the car in a puncture situation. In these cases, it is not a diameter issue to fit over the rear callipers, but it is an "offset" issue to avoid binding on the spokes on the rear. Look at a company called Road Hero, who use Kwik Fit as a retail agent. They offer a complete kit, including chocks and jack, which all came with the Jaguar supplied version. N6 JMX

Hi I'm looking to do CCF edits. Any recomendation on what and where to buy? Thanks

hI What engine do you have as some are different One of the better code readers is a Icarsoft LR V3 Try this in the pic below cheers Joe

R18 is ok for a NA Rob though it won’t fit on a XKR due to the bigger callipers.😊

Don’t know the part number however, you should be looking for the 19 inch space saver. Google may be your friend here.😎
