Jaguar Owners Club

Have you got an Engine Management warning lamp illuminating on the dashboard? A common fault with the X type and the Mondeo TDCI engines is the Electronic Turbo Actuator failing. Unfortunately, this can be an expensive repair so certainly worth taking the car to a garage who can scan the Electronic Control Modules (ECM) for fault codes and live data. This will establish whether the Actuator is at fault. Another (cheaper repair) is the EGR and inlet manifold 'clogging' up with carbon and will need removing to clean. Hope this helps? Regards Trevor

Hi Jagalex Sometimes the rubbers can be a tight fit within the blade which can lead to the wipers not touching the screen on each end. I'm sure they will loosen/soften up over a short time which should cure it. Regards, Trevor

I have just looked the colour code up on the Jaguar website and it is listed as 'Black Amethyst Metallic'....a very nice colour that suits the car!

Hi Brian...and welcome to the club! I think with all cars, there will be teething problems with them, but glad to hear you haven't been put off the Jaguar brand. Mudflaps, generally nowadays there is no real need to fit them (unless rallying the car) as they can promote rust by way of trapping mud in between where they are fastened to the vehicle and keeping the moisture within which then leads to corrosion. However, there are protective coatings (in spray cans) which are transparent and can protect the paintwork from stonechips...maybe worth giving that a try? Regards Trevor
