    Hello and welcome Julian. Try this one; https://britcar.com/product.php/317608/5497/boot___trunk_release_button_gold___ruby___jaguar___xj_1995_to_1997_daimler_variants

    The noise is mostly likely the aspirator fan behind the dashboard. This picture shows how much dust can accumulate on the sensor part at the grill. Removing the dash surround and thoroughly cleaning and blowing out with air may help.

    There are places that can repair your existing one, unless it’s too far gone.

    This will help you out and also aid in understanding the system. http://jagrepair.com/HydRoofManualOperationxk8.htm

    Hi David, You May have to manually close the roof fully in order to reset the system.

    Hi David, The quiescent drain for our cars is 30 milliamperes or 0.03A so not very high at all. This is also easily checked. I would ensure the day before you leave, you allow your CTEK to fully charge the battery. However, it would be worth having the capacity of the battery checked as it may have dropped from lack of use. Lead sulphate begins to form at 12.4v and its these sulphites that strangle the battery.

    You’re welcome, Paul. If you intend to remove the battery then always the negative first.

    Hi Paul, With your car there is no problem with disconnecting the battery as you don’t have the BMS (battery monitoring system) fitted. I have the icarsoft i930 for mine which is perfect for what I want and it will tell you which sensor is at fault. If you go the icarsoft route then make sure you buy from a reputable source and it is Jaguar specific.

    As shown in the video, no specialist tools required to change the sensors. You can always disconnect the battery to be completely safe.

    Hi Paul, A code reader will tell you exactly which part of the system is flagging the fault. Usually it will be one of the 2 impact sensors at the front of the car. On your car, both can be changed from the top without having to remove the nose cone. This will help;

    Unfortunately you do not have a ”service connection” to enable remote movement of the seat and there is no way to manually move them. You will therefore have to remove it and then apply 12v to the motor in order to move it. Assuming of course the motor has not been damaged by the water.
