Am getting some very low external temperature readings showing on what are plainly much hotter days. Can anyone advise me as to where the external temperature sensor can be located. Many thanks and Regards, John

JOC.COM Stand 26.06 2022. Simply Jaguar, Beaulieu

Brian Welcome to the Forum/Club. I take the point you make about gaining a X150, but boy Primrose is certainly the more iconic carriage. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Likewise.

Somewhat surprised at how few members of this Forum/Club attended this event. There were hundreds of Jaguars on display and it was a great day for weather being sunny and really warm all day long. Best Wishes and Regards , John

Darren Unless you really do want a so called upgraded car that has had items done that are not really provable, I would agree with walking away from the "bastardised" car. I would also not want to take the risk of heavy fines, or even having the car impounded, due to DPF removal etc. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Concur

Great invention these torque wrenches !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Regards, John

I feel the advice given by Jaguar in the handbook for the car and/or on a sticker (usually on door pillars) is the correct way to go with tyre sizes. Best wishes and Regards, John

Welcome.

Tonya It appears to be in the correct place (I.E. XF). Sometimes it does take a while for a person who knows the answer to actually read the posted question. There appears to be times when nobody has read the posts at all. It is highly likely that someone will give an answer at sometime. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Patrick Job sorted then, well done. Good Luck and Best Wishes, John

Julie a new battery will need looking after as well. Regards, John

I have watched the price of classic and semi classic cars for many years. This is a model of car that is inevitably going to become a classic of the future (if not sooner). In my opinion after the XK type models and S-Type models Jaguar have not made particularly many (I am not saying none) cars that reflect being a Jaguar by design. Personally I believe this model of car is worth what the seller is prepared to take for it, versus, what you as the buyer is prepared to pay for it. Price, in my opinion, is not the only and utmost regard. I believe a provable service and maintenance history is important and part of a value, as is mileage and condition. The important factors in condition are, including mechanically, bodily and internally. You seem to suggest that all of these factors are sitting well with you in respect of this car. If you consider it a price you are prepared to pay then the best you can do, if satisfied that the car is all good and what you want, is make an offer for the car. You may be lucky to negotiate the price down. On the other hand you may not and have to make a decision (which only you can do) on whether or not you will pay the asking price. You have not said if you are buying from a dealer or if you are buying from a private source. No doubt you are well aware of the different legalities from both, so bear this in mind when making a decision. Be aware of what/if a dealer is offering a warranty, as to what is covered by that warranty and the conditions attached to it. Good luck with any negotiations / decisions. Best Wishes and Regards, John.

The CTEK 7 and 10 also have a setting for RECON, which de-sulphates the battery. Basically regenerating it. Plainly a totally dead battery is a different matter. The CTEX will also act as a supply to start a car with a flat battery. To my mind they are a good investment for the money. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Julie Being a S-Type and having experience of them, battery would not be a surprise. They suffer with parasitic drain very easily. I usually put mine on my CTEK MXS 7 at least once a week, for minimum of 12 hours, hopefully more. My battery was replaced 12 months ago and is for ever throwing codes if it is not kept well charged. Good Luck and Best Wishes, John

Believe the collective noun for Jaguars is a PROWL. Regards, John

The V6 is a 2.5 engine. Welcome to the Club Best Wishes and Regards, John.

Bought the iCarsoft PRO, but still find it very challenging to use. At 72 I am not "over tech gifted" and am finding the User Manual I had to print from the internet is not really that helpful to me. Can read deeper into P0420 that my Foseal Diagnostic did, but cannot understand such things as live "% efficiency readings" from upstream and downstream Lambdas. Yes it gives the readings and that is OK if you understand what they are meaning. I still get intermittent P0420 codes, despite having replaced each and every part of the Bank 1 induction system and exhaust system, and cannot understand why/how these intermittent codes keep occurring. Manifold Gaskets (6), plugs, coils, up and down stream Lambdas, Catalytic Converter (which was killed by misfiring), checked all joints for leaks. All replacement parts as OE. Any ideas from anyone would be much appreciated. Best Wishes and Regards, John.

Now keep getting intermittent P0420 readings, even after all I have done. ANY IDEAS FROM ANYONE / ANYWHERE Cheers , John

I to will not be approaching from Rownhams Services. John

Kevin Well done. This Forum gets many submission (which you would be well advise to check) regarding Jaguar and F Pace Warranty. There have been a couple in the last few days even. Wish you well with your approach to Jaguar. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Kevin There will be a few members very close to you next weekend Sunday 26th June 2022, attending "Simply Jaguar" at The National Motor Museum, Beaulieu.
