  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. Hi Max, That's a shame, sorry it did not help. If I can find any more info will let you know Rgds Aubrey.
  4. 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.
  5. Hi, I just booked to go to Jaguars at Gaydon 4th sept at the motor museum.
  6. 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.

    Hi Neil P00BF diagnostic trouble code (DTC) means that there is a problem with the Mass or Volume Air Flow (MAF) "B" sensor circuit.. That letter denotes either part of the sensor or circuit, or even a single MAF sensor if the vehicle has more than one. Or might be either (a) cracked manifold or (b) sticking turbo actuator. It could be Turbo Actuator as I had that on mine Could not get over 60 and it dropped down rapidly up hill, but fine at lower speeds / gears Regards, Julie.
  9. Sorry meant to say Hi Richard,😃 I've got computer problems today At present I have X type hoping to get another S type in couple of months, had one before. Like the XF - good looking car. Best Regards, Julie.
  10. Found this may be of help CAUSES Faulty Engine Mount 'A' Engine Mount 'A' harness is open or shorted Engine Mount 'A' circuit poor electrical connection It means that the wire(s) connected from and to the component (sensor, solenoids, actuator, etc.) is either open (cut, broken, disconnected) or shorted (touching other wires, components, body). "Open" and "short" are common electrical terms. An open is a break in a wire or at a connection. A short is an accidental connection of the wire to ground or another wire. In simple electronics, this usually means something won't work at all. With complex electronics (such as ECMs or PCMs) this can sometimes mean something works, but not the way it's supposed to. How is the P0A14 code repair? Start by checking the "Possible Causes" listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector's pins.
  11. I had red on my S type and it did look good - thanks👍
  12. Hi, I want to paint the brake calipers on my X type. Can not decide between Red or Silver what do you think looks best?
