You will need the 19” black space saver, this is to ensure it clears the larger brake callipers on the xkr’s. As to getting one, good luck as I’m still looking.

Personally, I would remove the seat base first then remove the door card and then operate the lock manually to open the door.

Fingers crossed for you. I would keep the new sensors for a week at least just in case, until you have a bit more confidence in the car. Thanks for the update.

Charge your battery and then check again. These cars do not function well with a less than fully charged battery. Always the first thing to check especially when they disappear upon a restart.

Let’s us know how you get on.👍

If you don’t already have it, here is the electrical manual for your car. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Electrical/XFElectrical/2009 MY XF Electrical Guide.pdf

Your “mum” must be a really good jag mechanic.🤣

Great news and thanks for the update.👍

Excellent news and thanks for the update.👍

There is a known issue with water from the windscreen washer pump wicking into the electrics, specifically causing corrosion in the Central Junction Box/fuse panel in the drivers footwell, which can result in all kinds of electrical issues. There is an updated washer pump and wiring as a fix but it is not a cheap job so worth checking for signs of water ingress and corrosion in the said panel. There is plenty of info about this if you do a Google search. Worth a look.

Either your battery is completely flat or your alternator has gone south either way, some voltage checks would prove useful.

Not quite, the 10 has the same supply function.

I doubt that very much. No. Replace the battery with a new, fully charged one and then get yourself a battery maintainer and keep it hooked up when not in use.

I did think initially, from your description, that it sounded like the alternator as it happened to me a few years ago. Good news is, it will be sorted at the dealership and you won’t have to worry about resetting anything as they should do it all for you.

You don’t need one Jon. Replace battery, reset park brake, windows and reset BMS and away you go. Or, hook up a temporary supply under the bonnet, change the battery and you shouldn’t lose anything.

Bit fiddly but an hour of taking your time should see it done and working for just the price of the part.

That’s a relief and much cheaper than a new alternator.

That sounds more like the alternator giving up.

Door locks are plug and play so that price will be more to do with labour and the cost of a new part.

Excellent news and thanks for the update.👍

An improvement sounds good though I would say you still have some air in the system. If you can live with it then fair enough, but do keep an eye on the temperature gauge if you go on any longer runs.

That is standard.😊

Welcome to the forum, enjoy.
