  1. Hi, Thanks for your response Ron, thats an option that I will consider.
  2. Hi Joe, thanks for the info, it looked a lot simpler to me,from looking at the headlight units on ebay they looked the same as mine with regards to the fitting,the plug looks the same and the unit looks like it would slot straight in,however, I didnt realise that there were so many legal requirements, may be best to forget the idea,btw,I also have to drop the bumper on the XJ to fit a bulb,had to do this recently as the lights had condensated badly, I didnt know how to drop the bumper,it turned out to be easier than I thought,gave myself a lot of unneccesarry work in learning,eg, removed the whole splash guard.
  3. Im thinking about upgrading from halogen to xenon headlights,is it worth it and would I have to go to jag dealer to have them programmed to my system after I fit them, the car is a 04 XJ350,thanks.
  4. Hi everyone, Im looking for the small spring clip that holds the lower part of the bulb access cover, its for a 04 XJ350, thanks.
  5. Windscreen company not accepting guarantee as I wasnt the owner when the guarantee was issued :(
  6. Thanks Peter, I will let you know how I get on.
  7. My car has ripples in the windscreen, obviously a manufacturing problem, this is a windscreen which the previous owner had as a replacement, I have the the receipt with all the details ,date etc, but as its not my name on the receipt, I was told by another windscreen company that the guarantee wouldnt be honoured, any ideas would be appreciated.
  8. Why am I unable to get a sat nav update, the latest available is to year 2012.
  9. power folding mirrors operate with a button which is located in front of your electric window switches, also operate by pressing the lock button twice on your key.
  10. the doors on my car are creaking and groaning, I tried oiling them and this doesnt work, I read on the manual that the door hinges do not need lubed for the life of the car , any ideas anyone, Thanks.
  11. Thanks mate, got them done at Halfords, they dont fold back, there is a small spring clip on the underside of the blade, you just press that and the blade slides clear of the arm.
  12. Thanks very much for your help with this, Cheers, Richard.
  13. I have a condensation prob with the full beam lens of the nearside (passenger) side headlight unit, idealy I would like to remove the unit and take it indoors to dry and clean the fogging from inside the lens, apart from unplugging the electrics, could someone advise how to remove the unit, I would like to know how many bolts are involved, it looks like there is 1 bolt and the rest is manouvering the unit off a series of clips, also it looks like the lens can be removed, is this possible, Thanks.
  14. How do you lubricate the mechanism ?
  15. Thanks again Peter, took it to Halfords, on this model the wiper arms dont fold out, theres a clip on the underside of the fitting and when pressed it releases the wiper fitting, the washer assembley has to be unclipped from the the wiper arm, Im going to practise doing this myself when we get better weather.
