If you want to do anything on the headlight washers you'll need to remove the front bumper. It is just possible to get the the pump, which is attached to the screen washer bottle, by removing the wheel arch liner on the off-side. I'd apply 12 volts direct from the car's battery initially to see if the pump was at fault. The headlight washer pump is the one with the thick pipes to it. Before you do that though, it would be owrth checking out the fuse / relay by substituion.

Hi Tim, It would surprise many drivers to find out that the Morgan was powered by a Ford or a Rover engine, and that the Aston Martin also had Ford based engines. Car manufacturers put cars together from parts made by other companies. The only company in the UK to have a Car factory that started with a coking plant, blast furnaces, a slab mill, a foundry, sheet and bar rolling mills, and machine shops to make the parts, a press shop and finally an assembly plant was the Ford plant at Dagenham, and the bulk of which closed when the Company realised that they could buy all the products they needed from companies that produced the parts in bulk. The Ford Engine plant at Bridgend supplies engines for many other car manufacturers, and I would like to bet that the Jaguar Engine plant in Wolverhampton will also aim to do the same. Peter.

I use a basic generic OBD2 code reader. Joe is quite right, it just reads engine codes. It cost £20 If I have an issue I cannot resolve, my mechanic who has serviced my cars for 13 years has a diagnostic tool that cost £2500. Quite a difference! Peter.

Hi Most generic obd reader will read engine fault codes but 99% won't read anything else, only engine fault codes so if you want one that reads everything then its got be one like mongoose lead with software mongoose is a pc based diagnostic system and can do most things dealers can but theres a few versions, best versions is v130, v131 that will do all jaguars, later versions suit later cars and wont cover pre 2005 cars its has two programs in it IDS for pre 2005 cars and SDD for post 2005 cars and just be aware that it needs to be installed on a windows xp professional computer/laptop, it won't work on anything else, some sellers offer software that will run on all windows, windows 7 windows 8, but it uses a windows xp pro emulator and this can be very glitchy , freezes, slow and akward to do normal things screen captures I use it and its the best out there for fault finding as it shows fault codes, reasons and remedys but be aware you can do some serious damage with this, if you try updating modules, if it fails, you can brick modules its good for fault finding though and the only other thing theres very little info out there on how to use it cheers Joe

It sounds like your EGR valve might be getting blocked try adding a additive to your tank or it's quite easy to take off and clean

Just had my 2.0d remapped by Celtic Tuning. The engine was a little on the sickly (!) side before the remapp, but a new EGR valve and a new inter-cooler hose which had a slight split in it has made the world of difference. The car now goes as though it's on steroids... Fantastic
