O.T.H

Hi Jon Welcome happy motoring. Thats a nice color and looks really good . Frank

It sounds like mixture at idle so I would say you have a small hole--a split pipe etc on the induction side so I would check that first .???? Frank

Welcome --I love my X Type and I hope you will yours-- beautiful car . Frank

Sounds Awesome keep going

I like it looks good--- years ago I had the same problem with dust and as you say dust proofing booths cost a lot of money ---I tried a set of curtains but after a few uses the dust was back again If you still have a small amount still on after the final coat.??? I found a good polish after it had weathered for a while was the answer .???? I really like the color and I think it will look fantastic when its all built up . all the best Frank

Well done it looks great. Frank

Really looking good a lot of work but getting there. Frank

Hi David Thats well worth bringing back to life well done ... Looking forward to more photo's :D

Hi David Fantastic a complete rebuild like this is a great project What year is it .???? Frank

Happy New Year ---To all ---Please be careful and drive safely in 2015----- Frank

Hi Sal I'm sorry they said that and as Peter said I think I would write to them explaining the problems then if they do not just check it over I would never go there again .?????? Surely it would only courtesy on there part to just check to see if it was there fault .???? Frank

Hi Sal It sounds to me that when the service was being carried out someone could have moved some wires or connections on a sensor so its now giving trouble .??? I would take it back so they can check it if I was you I think.???? Happy New Year to you too. Frank

Hi Peter Yes Peter but if its in the rear and it shows a rev change it must be the dif or something in the drive line ????? I would say.??? Frank

Hi Shaun Can I just ask is your car a 4 WD I'm not really S types but if it is that clears things a little.?????? Frank

Yes well said------------- "A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL"---------------- Frank

Hi Sean I think you will find that happens to most cars with a elec fan ---The fan runs for a shot time after the engine has been shut off to cool things off , I would think about checking the thermostat or temp sender and conections first ???? Frank

Hi Robert here's something I found that could help.??? 2005 Jaguar X-Type 2.0d - Jaguar diesel idling high, especially when driving - My Jag has a frustrating and dangerous problem. The idle speed increases when the car is in motion, getting up to 1500 rpm - which when in 5th means acceleration with no input from me! With the cluth depressed it drops to about 1000, and when the car actually is stopped returns to the correct 800 (with occassional surging) I have had the local garage hook it up to diagnostics but the car is clean with no codes at all. I cleaned the EGR valve myself and that made no difference. I would say the problem is worsening. Could this be a sensor? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Answer== Check your engine oil level isn't above the high mark. If ok, I would check the turbo oil seals arn't passing excessive oil. owner Unplugged the MAF last night - no change : Answer== Does that not tell you something.It could be that the MAF is faulty or that the wiring to it or the plug is faulty all three common problems on this engine.Having a faulty non operative MAF will give exactly the problems you describe. Then have a look at this???? http://www.oilem.com/tag/maf-sensor-cleaner/

Hi robert you didn't say if its diesel or petrol if it was OK and it just started fast idle I would say its developed a air-leak on the induction side somewhere.????? Check all your pipes etc Frank

I dont know if anyone else would agree but I think I would have the battery checked out .??? allsorts happens if they are on there way out . Frank

Im really sorry Charlie has taken the Huff but making a statment that we all run bangers isnt nice !!! we all run what we like or what we can afford and some of the old cars are great all to his own .?? I liked his imput into the club as he alway gave his apinion and thats what life is all about we are not all the same . thank goodness. So all the best Charles. Frank

Hi Deane ...I would go with Peter on this and say perhaps ..Plug Leads.??? Frank

Its OK no problem I hate the winter as well. ;)

Hi Charlie I'm sorry if I have upset you but if you give it out you have to be able to take it ---I also worked long hrs in all weathers Ive also had good times but life didnt treat me too good--- never mind---it seems you a bit grumpy today so I wish you the best ..Keep smiling ... My X type is petrol Its done 123,000 miles .?? Frank

It seems we all run bangers except for money man Charlie ?????? New cars break-down so I'm told .??? I don't know because I've never been lucy enough to own one + I think you loose more money the first year of ownership than any of these old bangers put together thats my opinion . Frank
