  1. Wow that was an exciting job. You would have to have steady nerves to do that😃
  2. Stunning! She looks wonderful. That's a hard job working on the rigs. I bet it was a bit nerve wracking landing in poor conditions, I don't envy that, I get a bit worried when you get a bit of turbulence going on holiday.
  3. Good Morning Phil, XK-R a stylish car. I have had an S type in past, now X type but looking at another S type possibly, but to be honest Peter is right all Jaguars have the three qualities - I would not buy anything else now. Kind Regards, Julie.
  4. Hi Nick, I am going as well, looking forward to it, should be a good day.
  5. Hi Amanda, Not sure which Jaguar you drive I have x type. It' can be a variety of reasons one of the simplest loose fuel cap just tighten it. May be the battery? have you checked fluid levels? It's difficult to diagnose problem without error code. I would get it checked out at garage or by, if you know one, some one with a diagnostic reader. Hope you get it fixed quickly as it's so essential to you. Kind Regards, Julie.
  6. Hi Max, I have emailed a knowledgeable chap who may be able to help. have found this link may be of use in mean time possibly. Copy and paste the below link into your browser https://www.dropbox.com/s/amy6cogfu19nbts/XJ8_XJR_X308 1997-2003.exe?dl=1
  7. Hi Mark, Yes its worth while as long as its not going to cost a lot. The better it looks the more money you will get. I read if you can see a dent at 10 foot away then fix it. Rgds Aubrey.
  8. Hi Max, That's a shame, sorry it did not help. If I can find any more info will let you know Rgds Aubrey.
  9. I did not see New Tricks but it does not surprise me -TV producers 🙄 Well spotted I find it hard to tell its just the Bumpers and longer body ? Please correct me if I am wrong.
  10. Hi, I just booked to go to Jaguars at Gaydon 4th sept at the motor museum.
  11. Hi Chris, I have read that there is still lag with a supercharger although many say there is not Copied it below so may not just be you possibly Rgds Julie. If a turbo has lag, a supercharger doesn’t, right? The thought is that people want to go with a supercharger because it doesn’t have any of the lag associated with having a turbo. However, this is actually not true. Superchargers still require to be at a certain rotational speed until they are able to produce maximum boost. Until you hit that max boost, there is still that dreaded lag. We could keep talking about turbo lag and supercharger lag forever, and there are many cases where you can use a dual turbo/supercharger setup, or nitrous/turbo setup to reduce lag, but in the end, there is still that lag that you have to overcome. You will get more low end boost with a turbo. Superchargers require RPM to build boost (the higher the RPM, the faster a supercharger spins) so tend to build boost gradually. positive displacement supercharger so it builds boost at much lower RPMs than a centrifugal supercharger which is much more rpm dependent (max boost at redline). Roots blowers are much more efficient at lower RPMs than at higher ones. But there is still going to be a momentary lag from when you tip into the throttle to when boost builds. Even though the supercharger will spin faster as soon as you get on the throttle, it will take a moment for it to move enough air. The "lag" that you are feeling is from the supercharger bypass valve closing and the boost building. It is not from any rpm dependent variables. It's just the transition of the air pressure. The bypass valve allows air to bypass the rotors which prevents boost. If those cars you drove use a maf versus speed density, it will effect throttle response because the air measuring device is farther way from the intake valve

    Hi Neil, That code has to do with the Turbo, but I have read that it could still be the Actuator causing both codes.
