  2. Hi Tim Presume you have already had a look at the sills as these are hidden behind the plastic covers and are VERY prone to rust. Mine had some rust but has had full repair plates welded to both sides and the whole underbody is now protected with Lanoguard. Good Luck with yours John
  3. Hi Tim If the piston seal on the master cylinder or slave cylinder is perished it is possible that the fluid simply by passes the piston, so no compression. However you would expect that to be showing as a leak.... John
  4. Hi Tim The brakes are a simple hydraulic circuit. Pressure applied at the pedal is transmited to the rear of the brake pads pushing them onto the disc. So there are a limited number of reasons for your symptoms. Firstly the brake pedal is not compressing the fluid inside the master cylinder. If that part is working OK and there are no leaks in the system the hydraulic pressure must be passed to the slave cylinder. Unless that is seized the pressure will force the pads against the disc. If all parts are free and connected with no leaks, applying pressure at one end will make the other end move.... unless there is air in the system somewhere. Air is compressible, brake fluid is not, so if you have any air in the system it will absorb the applied pressure rather than transmitting it. No leaks suggests an air-lock somewhere. Regards John
  5. How long is a piece of string? 30 mins use on a track day maybe 500 miles gentle driving. My view is the warning is there for a reason, to tell you it needs attention, so I would do it ASAP and drive VERY gently until it was done. Brakes and tyres are top of my list to keep me, and everyone else safe 🙂 Regards John
  6. Hi Tony My understanding is that the car has at least 3 copies of the entire software stored in different locations within the many modules so a competent mechanic with the right tools should be able to restore the corrupted files from individual modules. I think you have been told some porkies as I am very dubious that "Jaguar" would / could do a remote diagnosis particularly through an independent garage rather than a main dealer. My guess is that one or more modules were corrupted when they disconnected / reconnected the battery to work on the washers. John
  7. Personally I would contact my Bank STAT and explain, as identify fraud scam may well be in hand....... Good luck
  8. ....at that price I would be running away rather than walking.....
  9. Simple enough check on the explosive side is that if they have deployed the rear of the bonnet should be obviously raised. I agree the sensors seem to be the ususal cause of problems with this system. Not sure but I think you should be able to read the oil level and pressure with via the OBD port. Might be worth a discussion to see if the seller is willing to take it to a specialist with you.... Depending on the price and your circumstances might be worth a punt 🙂
  10. Hi That looks like the passive mis-fuelling has NOT been triggered as that is bright yellow plastic. The passive device is to prevent fuel flow when a petrol hose HAS been inserted into the filler. I think you are looking at the actiive mis-fuelling device which is designed to prevent a petrol nozzle actually being inserted in the filler. The handbook suggests that you may be simply holding the pump incorrectly.... https://www.ownerinfo.jaguar.com/document/2H/2017/1390844/proc/G1862756/G1901405 Good luck John
  11. Hi Brian That code could be one of a number of issues with the Catalytic Converter. Personally I would get it to an independent Jaguar specialist to sort. This video might help a bit: Good luck John
  12. Hi Clive. This the one? :https://www.britishparts.co.uk/classic-jaguar/jaguar-xjs/steering-suspension/power-steering-hose-cac3654 Regards John
  13. Hi Probably the gear linkage bolts. This video (actually about transmission oil change) describes how to tighten them. I think as it is an American video that "Drivers side" may actually be our passenger side. Good luck John
  14. Hi Paul My guess is that the software on one, or more modules, has been corrupted by the low voltage. It happened to my XF during the Covid lockdown and stopped the rear doors locking / unlocking and the rear windows opening and closing. Sorted under warranty for me by dealer (non-jaguar). I think if the garage use the Autologic system they should be able to sort it for you. Apparently Jag dealers like to replace the module which costs rather a lot.... For the future I would recomend using a battery maintainer (I use Ctek) if you are not using the car for that long, and probably as a regular habit at least every couple of weeks. As an aside I would replace the battery at least every 5 years as they are a consumable and do deteriorate with age/use and particualry if allowed to go flat... Good luck John
