  1. That circuit board has burnt out, that’s the black bits. As far as I’m aware, they do not supply the circuit board separately. As long as you find the whole console from the same model car, it will simply be plug and play.
  2. Post up some pictures when you get it and enjoy.
  3. Keep your battery above 12.4v at all times and you’ll suffer less problems. If you don’t drive the car often then, as suggested above, a CTEK maintainer is the way to go.
  4. Usual problem is dry joints within the console, general fix is to replace with a used unit. A code reader may shed more light on it for you.
  5. Nikisil linings only went up to 2000MY, after that, better linings were used so no need to worry on that score.
  6. If you have the money then buy it, it is a fair price for what it is and it’s condition and mileage.
  7. This may help,
  8. You have got something wrong with your car. Either a failing battery or more likely, a parasitic draw. A maintainer will only mask the problem, though still a good idea to get one.
  9. If you continue to keep your battery at between 11.9v and 12.4v then I’m afraid you will be replacing it every 2 to 3 years. At 12.4v the battery starts to sulphate and that is what strangles the life out of it. Keep the battery fully charged at 12.8v by using a maintainer and you’ll have far less problems.
  10. It lives underneath the drivers side bonnet catch. You will need to remove the trim pieces to get at it.
  11. Welcome to the forum. Ask away, I’m sure we’ll be able to help.
  12. Check the main cables from the battery and if needs be, replace them. Also check the ground points in the engine bay.
  13. You’re not likely to get an answer on a 8 year old thread. Here is a link to the ones I bought, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20x-ALLOY-WHEEL-NUTS-JAGUAR-S-TYPE-X-TYPE-CHROME-LUG-BOLT-STUD-QUALITY-20L/322551270259?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D279707e90cd84407af62051fd274c338%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D322551270259%26itm%3D322551270259%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2481888&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A31c8544d-e131-11e9-8a5f-74dbd180d657|parentrq%3A731334ab16d0a4b7b67e7f6dff7a4b99|iid%3A1
  14. Have a look for the plate on the passenger side ‘B’ pillar, the code is to the right of the paint code and should be 2 letters.
  15. Try this website, www.jaguarforums.com it is a US based forum.
  16. Welcome to the forum. This is the electrical manual for your car, scroll down to page 23. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepairPhotos/jagxk2003.pdf
  17. Check the ground points behind the headlights and in the front wheel arch.
  18. Once bitten, forever smitten. Welcome to the forum, enjoy.🤗
  19. Though very good, the ceramic coatings are not a one time deal and forget about it, they still require maintenance. When looking at around £600 for a proper job I’d be looking at other alternatives. Wrinkly’s preferred method is a very good alternative for a car that is kept outside and used daily.
  20. Excellent news and thanks for the update.🤙
  21. Cheap fixes are always the best.🤙
  22. For your car the CTEK 7 would be ample to keep the battery healthy.
  23. Welcome to the forum, enjoy.🙂
  24. Welcome to the forum, enjoy.🙂
