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.

full Ceramic coating
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.

Check to see if there is any water in the boot area first but it may be the boot wiring loom at fault. Easy fix if it is.

Electrical Diagnosis
Hi Carl, The first place will always be the battery, make sure it is fully charged. That said, XF’s do seem to have problems with door locks and once you start getting problems with them the only fix is to replace. The interior light is directly linked to the door lock mechanism and is further indication of door lock problems. A battery maintainer and a Jaguar related code reader should definitely be on your shopping list.

Battery conditioner recommendations
Welcome to the forum. Get yourself a CTEK 7 or CTEK 10, simple plug and play and will keep your battery on the top line.

1997 XJ long wheel base barn find
Yeah, because they’ve never been know to be wrong , have they? The dash is definitely from the XJ8 so therefore follows it will be the 4.0L V8. Still puzzled as to the front bumper chrome.

1997 XJ long wheel base barn find
From those pictures it has a XJ6 front bumper, as it’s an XJR it would therefore be a 4.0L straight 6 engine. I would be interested to see a picture of the engine itself.

Torque setting
The force required is equivalent to a third of that for a wheel nut. So to give you an idea, loosen a wheel nut and tighten it to 42Nm to give you an idea of how much force you need to exert on the spanner. Don't forget to retighten the wheel nut.
