O.T.H

Hi Steve --I will still say you have a bearing rumble somewhere and I think you will find that nearly all cars have a --What seems like play-back and forward movement -its the play through the shafts and diff etc ??? Frank

Hi David a big welcome to the club I think you will find us helpful and interested because that sounds like a fine car you have there it will be nice to see a photo when you can All the best Frank

Hi Ian I am in total agreement with Paul and I think he gave you a perfect answer to your problem and will just add check all pipes on the sevo .?? Frank

Welcome Peter that looks a really nice XF I think you will find us all very friendly and helpful because we all like to enjoy the Jaguar experience . Frank

Hi Edmund --You could try this one I havent used them but a friend was happy with them .?? http://www.carbreakers-uk.com/buy-online.asp Frank

Hi Andy --You say its on the easy bank so if it was you I would put the old plugs back in and if it runs OK again it would mean that one of your new plugs is breaking down under load [ It does happen at times ??? ]--you can then change them one at a time to find the bad one and get it exchanged. All the best. Frank

Hi Andy I also welcome you to the club its full of people that enjoy there Jaguars and you will find are willing to help with any problem and share there experiances with you . all the best Frank

Hi Steve and I also welcome you to the club. I would also say you have a noisy wheel bearing and recomend you jack the car up and spin the wheels and rock the wheel to see if there's any play to find the one thats the problem .??? Frank

Hi Daniel and welcome to the club I'm sure you will enjoy because we are a freindly bunch. I think you will find once you have the same bulbs all round everything will be OK. Frank

Hi Brian --- I think you should check The secondary junction box it is located on the bulkhead in the LH side of the cabin near the ‘A’ post. It acts as a splice header to avoid having numerous splices in the harness. There could be a wire off or corrosion of some sort best to have a look .?? Well worth a try all the best.??? I've been trying to get a diagram posted but up to now no luck .??? Frank

I agree why be nasty no one needs to- the club is a friendy place enjoyed by many. The best Frank

I would also say battery at fault .???? Frank

Hi Graham if I can just ask this---When you hold the tail pipe can you move it about --say about 2in or so in other words does it move OK --or is it tight ????? Frank

Hi Graham -- Welcome to the Club--You say you dont think its the exhaust but I seem to think that I would check that the exhaust isnt touching the body anywhere???? or if you have a exaust mount thats too tight .??? And after that I would check the engine mountings .??? Just a thought. Good luck Frank

I would say its sure to be a balance on one of the wheels or a faulty wheel so I would have them balanced again pehaps lost a weight or something .??? Frank

Sorry to hear that its so bad ---You said you only had the XF for a month before this problem showed it seems to me as though it was there when you bought it and I think the garage should put it right ???? Is it the the same Jaguar Garage you bought it from who checked it and that said it would cost £5000.??? If it is I think you demand that they put it right . Im no lawyer and do not really understand but dont just let them fob you off here. Frank

Hi Michail I had a very simular problem as you about 4 months ago and fitter who works on my car cured it with no charge?? This is what he done==== Key in ignition and on drop window drivers door. stand out-side the car with the door closed ignition still on put hand into car and work the small locking lever thats just above the inside door handle in and out a few times and if its really stiff squirt some WD40 into the handle and also the lock .?? work it again untill its free .?? Turn ignition off so it resets --window up and retry the locks with the Fob.?? He said if this dos'nt work its the door lock at fault .?? I hope this Helps. Frank

I'm thinking the same as you Ian ---a door or the boot not closed fully --???? Frank

Hi Nick Welcome to the Club you will find it a very freindly club and I am sure there will be a lot of interest into your work on the fantastic looking MK10 it really sounds like a lot of work and dedication to the job at hand and I wish you all the best with it so please keep us up to date with photo's etc Frank

Hi Mark I think you will find that one of the inside door locks isnt returning after its used ---could be any of the doors .??? I mean the small lever thats next to the inside door handles and you have move it again with use???? They do tend to get sticky if not used much. Frank

I don't know about jamming a peace of wood in because you could break it ??? Like I said stand out side the closed door with the window down reach through and move the small lever in and out with a little WD-40 ??? Frank

Hi Gary I have a X Type and I had a problem similar to yours but mine was the drivers door .?? I think the S Type is the same and has a small locking lever next to the inside door handle well it was sticking ---So to cure it I was told to------ Key in and ignition and on -drop the window --[the passengers side in your case]--and then work the small lever a few times so it frees off ----Switch the ignition off and try the locks if that cures it a small amount of WD-40 in the lock could be the answer ..????? I hope this helps Frank

Well Kenny that was a great result just think how much that will cost ?? :huh: :D Frank

Hi Nigel Welcome to the club ---With your boot problem it sound like a faulty lock you have there but I think the first thing to do is check that no debris is in the lock .???? Its easily done accidentally closing the boot and trapping a peace of cloth or something.??? The knocking noise I would say is one of your Suspension arms so a quick check on that if I was you --they are about £20 on EBay and quite easy to fit . All the best with them . Frank

Hi Dave --personally I would say its your clutch presser plate that's the problem Because I think if it was your gearbox you would still have a clutch.??? You said the clutch went hard --I think something broke in the plate and held the clutch out.??? --Or the thrust bearing.??? After saying all that --It could be your clutch master cylinder so I think the first thing I would do is to see if its OK and not stuck out .??? Because that would be the cheapest thing first.??? Good luck ----Frank
