hi looks like you cap has split, should just pull out, should be all one piece the yellow part should be stuck inside the cap new cap time cheers Joe

hi looks possible, its usually leaks, and that age where they start to perish, especially if disturbed cheers Joe

hi usually air leaks on the intake system somewhere, if its doing i on shut throttle could be the flexi on the egr wont be fuel pump that would give a different fault code as fuel pressure is monitored with a sensor when you take you foot off the throttle coasting the injectors are turned off, otherwise you get unburnt fuel down the exhaust, which would destroy the cats cheers Joe

hi it all down to diesel in the oil from either leaky injectors or blocked dpf so change the oil regular and keep an eye on oil level, if it goes up between checks you have issues diesel dilutes the oil, its not a very good lubricant and you get heat generated by the main bearing, centre one fails first, cranks gets that hot it weakens and snaps, worse case senario, but its quite common so keep an eye on your oil cheers Joe

HI Unfortunately theres been no updates for jaguar, S-type, X-type and XJ, which all used the same system since 2012 since 2012 theres been a massive amount of road changes, but if you google it you can download load it and burn it yourself cheapest option would be to update your tomtom, I went down the Jagdroid route, got my touchscreen converted to android 9 and you can do anything you want as on a new android phone, google maps, front and rear camera, dab radio, google assistant, superb if its a keeper, have a look here http://www.jagdroid.org/ cheers Joe

Hi Any good lock smith should be able to decode the chube lock, as its used on many fords, then once you have a key it need coding to the car so it will start, as it needs to recognise the transponder chip in the keyfob there are many locksmith in the uk that do this, there should be some where you are cheers Joe

Hi if its stood that long it will be fuel pump seized, if they stand with low fuel and the pump is out of the fuel, the rust very easily and seize, seen it so many time there a inspection cover under the rear seats, where you can remove the fuel pump cheers Joe

Hi if oil is rising, thats bad, usually a leaky injector, which means diesel is getting into the engine oil Id get the injectors checked and oil changed, diesel not a very good lubricant and its the biggest killer of the 2.7 engines cheers Joe

Hi Common fault on the s-type, all the bulbs have a permanent 12v feed one side of the bulb, other side goes to rear body module which switch the earth to bring it on so if you touch the body while removing the cluster or accidentally putting the bulb in the wrong way round will pop a fuse also make sure the bulb is correct 21w4w, but sometime they give you a 21w5w, which will go in but pop a fuse theres 2 fuses to each rear light, make sure the fuses are good there are no earth at the rears lights only positive feeds, as above, one side of bulb has a permanent 12v feed, earth is switch by the rear body module cheers Joe if you need wiring diagrams have a look here http://www.jagrepair.com/

Hi not sure on the xf's , but theres usually somewhere under the bonnet to connect a charger if your not using it much, I recommend a CTEK smart charger, with a convenience kit, the convenience kit allow a charging socket in the boot you just plug in when not in use and it keeps your battery fully charged, save any problems, these cars are so sensitive to low battery voltage, it causes the modules to go in fault. had one mine, ever since I had it, never had any problems with the car what so ever cheers Joe

hi what color is the smoke, blue smoke means burning oil, if its smoke a bit, its most probably turbocharger seals, they smoke at idle when seals are starting to fail black smoke usually means burning fuel, possible injector white smoke, can be water or just condensation on cold mornings does it use any engine oil or water you can also get smoke from passenger side of engine bay, wheel arch are, this normal below 5 deg C, aux diesel heater webasto runs at that temp to assist heater warm up times. cheers Joe

Hi Check the battery fully charged, low battery causes all sort of problems on these I'd put it on charge over night and see how it goes cheers Joe

HI With Jaguar software IDS/SDD you can find the full spec but you use the VIN, Reg number only get you basic info online cheers Joe

hi if you look to the top theres pictures of what you need cheers Joe

Hi This ia a common problem as cars get older, its usually the the battery that fails in the active sounder, usually gives loads of ramdom faults, easiest way to fix is disconnect the the active sounder, under the fusebox in the engine bay you could get a replacement sounder, but odds are it would fail as the battery inside them are well past it now new sounder do pop up every now and then, but not often personally I would just unplug the sounder, there not really a theft risk these days cheers Joe

hi That number is on the bumper usually and not the correct part number is it front or rear, has it got the XS body kit on it Have you tried Jaguar autoreserve, they have most parts in cheers Joe

Hi There no gains to be had on normally aspirated cars with out spending big money should have gone for the 3.0 remap will only give a couple of hp and as for exhaust next to nothing, a couple hp again. not worth the money for so little gains exhaust upgrade on the V6 only just make more noise and dont sound the best on a V6, like they do on a V8 cheers Joe

hi looks great and welcome I'm also in staffordshire if you need any info give us a pm will keep an eye for you pic of mine below cheers Joe

hi telling people what engine may help

hi try unplugging the airbag module a few times, just incase of a bad connection if the battery has been flat in the past, its a common time for them to fail air bag modules can be bought for less than £20, worth swapping and see what happens cheers Joe

hi its the laser getting tired sat nav dvd runs continous so its seen some hours now they can be fixed most time by cleaning the laser with a dvd cd cleaner if not, used are cheap and plug and play, try somewhere like jaguar auto reserve, there parts are guaranteed cheers Joe

hi air bag modules are plug and play as long as you get the same part number, require no programing, you just have to make sure it has the same amount of airbags most descent code readers will read air bag modules I have a cheap icarsoft and that reads the airbags on most cars including jaguar plugging into Jaguar ids/sdd software will tell you exactly where the fault it also air bag modules are cheap second hand, try auto reserve jaguar, they sell second hand part and there guaranteed to work cheers Joe

HI not possible Front and rear are different, front are sealed into the hub, rears are seperate, bolt to the hub, external cheers Joe rear abs sensor front abs sensor front abs sensor fitted to hub

hi its pot luck really, it could start straight u or be an absolute nightmare would of thought getting parts over there would also be awkward depends what engine is in it also
