  1. Aye mate, My saloon looks a bit sorry now mate.......
  2. Meant to add, HID kits do not interfere with the canbus system, Hope this puts your mind at rest Virre!!
  3. No Peter it just overrides the code and becomes fully operational with a "welcome" on the lcd radio screen, Sat nav just kicks straight in.
  4. Anything is do-able, Except make a 2.1 into anything bigger, Not for the fact that it can't be done but the cost effectiveness of doing it.... First and foremost 2.5 and 3.0 are AWD, 2.1 isn't, T box, rear diff, propshaft, rear hubs and driveshafts, Cable accelerator on the 2.1, etc etc, the list goes on, All these differences and considerations make it an unrealistic option, Sorry,
  5. My auto gearbox failed on me the other night, Today I set about breaking my saloon for the donor gearbox, Started it at 9,15 am to move it into place in my unit, Started removing the bumper at 9,30 and by 12 the engine was out and on the bench, By 2pm the t box and gearbox were separated from the engine, Cats and ancillaries off, Just need to find time to transplant it in now, Upgraded tensioner pulley to do in the morning and then respray the wifes car tomorrow afty. Busy busy... :D
  6. Sounds like its a cluster issue, If the ecu is reading the rpm correctly and the needle isnt its the cluster, I have the same problem with mine being erratic, Looks as though you may have to change it.
  7. Thats the one Woody, Works for me everytime, Some however do take a few tries for it to work.
  8. Try disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes It should settle down, If that fails the next step is to test the battery itself, A weak or old battery can cause a multitude of problems on these X's.
  9. CD multichanger is an easy retrofit, all you need is the changer and a fibre optic lead, plug and play, Just sold my last one.
  10. Definite retro fit on the X type, I have done it on mine and for several other X typers...
  11. Hi Old Peter I am intrigued by your post, Is there a way of locating the correct code without going to the dealer etc??? I have always used the 3 finger salute.
  12. It is a factory plug, However it is also a 12v supply, Useful for front end additions.
  13. Good evening Ron I have in fact this evening joined and if I might say looks like a pretty good place to be, I do indeed offer a headlight refurb service, Anyone interested can PM me for details and I can supply before and after pictures, I will say that the 55w 6000k hids are the best in my opinion, They give out optimum light without attracting attention from the local constabulary or the MOT tester!!! I have had them in my car now for 2 years and have refurbed countless sets without issue.
  14. I have a really nice 2.5 estate for sale, I also have Bezzas 3.0 engine in my car... Looked after correctly and with oil changes at the right intervals these engines will run forever.
  15. Hi My name is Mark, I am a Jaguar nut............ always have been and always will be, I currently drive a 55 plate 3.0 estate ( it was a 2.5 but I have converted it) and have a 3.0 saloon that I am unsure what to do with, I have a very serious hobby that is breaking X types and also repairing them, I have a lot of experience regarding lots of mods (a lot of which I have done myself), I have been invited here by another member who thinks I could be a big asset to this place, I THINK I have a wealth of knowledge that I am very happy to share, Hope I can fit in and make a significant contribution to this forum
