eBay item I know that several members of the forum are keen on obtaining an Audio Connectivity Module kit for S-Type, X-Type and XJ. Please beware. This is NOT what it purports to be. It is, in fact, only parts of the Jaguar Audio Connectivity Module and will NOT function properly, regardless of what the seller tells you. There are several items missing. The seller is clearly not selling what he says he is and anybody who wasn't aware of what an ACM should consist of will be taken in by it. I have reported it to eBay but I assume they will take their usual lackadaisical stance.

Thanks Chaps, Good pointer Andy, the two buttons under the 'Mode' button do the trick (I presume there the ones you meant) I pressed and held for a few seconds and MAN appeared in the bottom left of the bottom screen, released, then pressed for 0.5 increments and held it down for it to count up automatically. Really grateful, just got to find the frequency for Talk Sport! Regards Steve

I think you press the left/right seek button constantly to get manual tuning then press/hold the number you want it to be.

Hi everyone. Picking up my first Jaguar on Saturday, A 2012 XF 2.2D Auto. Getting it from a main dealer so probably paying a bit more than I could have got one for but I don't have much time to search around and the 2 year warranty gives me some peace of mind. Time will tell if that's misguided or not! Have been happily driving a 320D M Sport for 2 years and was quite content to swap it for a newer one until I tired to do a deal with BMW. I cant fault the BMW workshop staff but the sales staff really wind me up. Its not difficult to sell nice cars, you just need to be reasonable and polite ( I would think) but BMW failed on both counts so I toddled off to the local Jaguar Main Dealer, spoke to a salesman, test drove the XF and worked a deal with them instead. Very much looking forward to pulling into the BMW dealer in the XF to cancel the MOT on my 320 :) The car sold itself within 5 minutes of me sitting in it so cant wait for Saturday, hopefully all will be well and we can explore the joyous A30 in Cornwall in comfort with a big grin on our faces.

Hi .. Thanks for the heads up, this will be most useful to forum members thanks for taking the time to post this regards

Sorry if this has already been posted but i felt i need to warn others of a design flaw with my Jag, i purchased my 09 3.0S XF diesel on the 20th of jan and on the 17th of march i was going along and saw a small amount of smoke coming from the engine i stopped immediately and called recovery who had a look and said the aux belt had snapped, took the car back to my usual garage and he stripped it and found the tensioner bearing had collapsed, i will add there were no strange noises prior to its failure, now this is where my tale gets scary, when the tensioner failed it allowed the belt to rub on the cam belt cover and make a hole, this was the smoke i saw, this rubbing caused bits of belt to come off and enter the cam belt throwing out the engine timing on one head and thus a valve to piston smash up, the way the jags are made you cant just replace the bent bits and carry on as the journals are matched to the head the long and short of the story is an engine rebuild at a cost of £5200 luckily i have the best car dealer on the planet, Essex trade cars chelmsford, who is picking up the bill as the warrenty has a 2K limit, when the warrenty firm sent there engineer he told them its a known problem with this engine and he has seen it before, my car had done 51K miles, my advice to ALL with this engine is save yourself a massive bill by getting the tensioner checked ASAP, we would all rather spend £50 and find its ok rather than leave it and its £5200

Hi Kevin and welcome to the club. Buying from a main dealer, and having it serviced by an Independent garage is the best way to go, in my opinion. Main dealer always give a warranty but other dealers often only give a limited one. The XF is a nice car and when you are sitting behind a line of Caravans on Summer weekends you will find the Jaguar far more comfortable doing the same in a German Car! Regards, Peter.
