  1. Happy Birthday londonimp!

  2. Hi Trevor Thanks for this. The code is definitely P132B though! Please see print out from dealership..............
  3. Hi All - Help needed ! Having problems with the actuator on the turbo, the car goes into "limp home" mode and the coil lights flashes when accelerating the car in 3rd gear. It also has a nasty vibration when accelerating beyond 50mph - this worsens to 70 then eases off after this time but then stops when foot off the accelerator. This also occurs in cruise control. Turbo My mechanic found the code P132B and a diesel specialist replaced the actuator before Christmas, only for the same issue to arise last week! It went back to them and they replaced the actuator again and flushed the turbo today. It went again on the way home today. Does anyone have any ideas please? It's going back to the specialist tomorrow for them to check it over but they have already mentioned a replacement turbo! If this is the case is it worth buying a recon' ? I've just spent £600 on the new actuator but can only find turbo's with the actuator already fitted ! The specialist is taking about £800 for the turbo and my local dealer has mentioned £1500 plus labour. Vibration This started before Christmas also. I've has had the front tyres replaced with balance and tracking - to no joy. ​Could this be linked with the turbo issue? I have read it could be the driveshafts but that seems to refer to the 4wd models only. Any advice and ideas would greatly appreciated. Many thanks and Happy New Year to all here. Dom
  4. Hi Dave No unfortunately they decided their journey was far more important. It's not as if they didn't know though as I heard the alarm going off which is how I discovered it............. Cheers Dom
  5. Dave You're a star thanks. Dom
  6. Greetings all I'm very pleased to say I've just bought my very first Jag :-) For slightly practical purposes I bought a 2006 X-Type 2.0d estate and have to say how very pleased I am with it. Drives like a dream and the comfort is fantastic. I'm a bit of a cricket nut (playing/watching/coaching) so needed something to fit all my kit in (oh and 2 large dogs on the rare family out!). Now for the help bit - Some b$%@&*d has just driven down the side of it but only managed to scrape the rear wheel arch. It's a simple case of some touch up work so not too angry but my problem is I don't know what colour the car is! I've checked everywhere but can't find a description. All I know is it's black and registered in 2006. Can anyone please help? Many thnaks Dom aka Londonimp
