XK X150 rear lights
If the light cluster in question is the one on the tail gate then the most likely problem will be a broken wire in the loom at the hinge point of the tailgate.

Imoboliser issue XK8 150
This will definitely stop the car from starting as the ecu does not see the gearbox in Park or Neutral. Have a look at the cables on the side of the gearbox, they may need adjusting.

60k miles is the manufacturers recommended time for changing the oil and filters.

Having issues with xj
Check the ground points behind the headlights as a first port of call. They may look ok but, they corrode from the inside out, show them a spanner and they may well crumble.

Alarm light not flashing when car is locked
Just had word back from a friend of mine, the alarm light should flash in the right hand side of the instrument cluster when it is armed. Hope this helps.

Sat Nav On Screen Error
Hi Paul, You could try this place; https://www.satnavishop.co.uk Id be tempted to take out your existing disc and give it a clean first, just in case. Thanks for the kind words, I have enjoyed each and every Jaguar I have owned.🤙

Sat Nav On Screen Error
If you are trying to input a postcode or address that is newer than the disc you have, then this may be causing your problem. 2012 is the last official disc from Jaguar though there are websites that provide more up to date information.

My lack of attention to the forum recently
Absolutely fabulous news and I’m sure, a great relief to both of you.

windscreen washer
The fuse is F12 15A in the primary junction fuse box. It may also be the pipes that are blocked or the small filter at the pump end. The bottle can also get gunged up so before you spend any money, check all the pipes are clear, the bottle and the filter.

Air Conditioner Gas Type
The refrigerant is R12, there should be a label in the engine bay to tell you.

updating sat nav on 2013 XKR?
The only way is through the aftermarket satnav websites where you can find up to date discs. The last official disc from Jaguar is the one you have now, 2012.

Drivers door module issue
The drivers door module supply comes in on pin 1 which is the brown wire. It is supplied from the driver’s side dash fuse panel from fuse F15 25A.

Mislocking
Hi John and welcome. When it happens again have a look on the dash message centre, it should tell you what the car thinks is not closed.

Sat Nav Replacement Disc
Hi Paul and welcome. Are you sure it’s the disc and not the reader at fault? The last official disc from Jaguar is 2012. There are up to date discs available from different websites but that is up to you.

Keyless &mirrors
This will help you Alfie, as you will see the module sits above the speaker so the card will need to be removed. You may also need to programme the new module.

Buzzing noise.
Hi Simon, Your only recourse is to replace it. To do so you will need to remove the bottom half of the dash to access the connector. You will also need to remove the dash surround and the securing bolt that holds it in place. The photo shows the sensor, the fan is behind that. You can actually remove the whole thing from the front though you will only get around 6 inches from the housing. You may then be able to blow air back through the fan. If that doesn’t cure it then replace it. I think they are available for around £40. This picture shows how far it comes out of the dash.

2008 XF Draining Battery
There has been cases of one of the ignition relays sticking on and therefore not allowing the car to shutdown correctly. A decent auto sparky should be able to find out for you.
-
Keyless &mirrors
Definitely something wrong Alfie, the mirrors should unfold and fold with operation of both doors individually. You could try going into the vehicles settings and also using a code reader, if you haven’t already. The mirror movement is controlled by the passenger door module which in turn is fed by fuse F1 25A mini in the aux fuse box.

Buzzing noise.
It is the aspirator fan behind the dash that is running and making the buzzing sound. Try squirting some compressed air through the small grill in front of the indicator stalk.

Rustproofing
I have used the Lanoguard on my rear subframe and components and can confirm, it’s easy to use and covers very well indeed.

Ah, ok. When you try to start is the PATS light flashing.
