hi I would of not connected the battery back up till it was dry I would on put in a garage and covered it in polythene and put a desiccant dehumidifier under there with it, would pull all the moisture out with a day easy hope you get it fixed, but all those modules are expensive and most need programing to the car, might not be cost effective to repair from a insurers point of view cheers Joe

Hi, I bet there 2012 disks when you get them, would also like to see a link, cheers

hi where did you manage source one from in the end cheers Joe

hi Ive used gliptone pruducts on mine and works really well https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gliptone-Liquid-Leather-Cleaner-Conditioner-Kit-GT11-GT12/251358192920?hash=item3a861da518:g:bE8AAOSwxN5WZqKn cheers joe

hi lots of info and its free http://www.jagrepair.com/ cheers Joe

hi the glow plug light comes on whether the glow plugs work or not, so worth checking

hi when you get similar issues its usually the first thing thats changed, worth doing as its not expensive to do is it petrol or diesel

hi usually with diesels when they get hard to start its glow plugs they fail and its not a issue till winter comes and it gets colder worth getting the glow plugs checked, may have a couple gone cheers Joe

hi if its not gearbox, them first best option would be to get it plugged in and see if there are any fault codes petrol cars are usually straight forward faults, diesel can be a bit more complicated cheers Joe

hi is it using water, usually water coolants issues and bubbling can be head gasket if its air locks, then you get a cold heater, does the radiator get hot at both sides Id get a sniff test done to check head gaskets or even a compression test cheers Joe

hi as above, if its a auto, maybe low fluid, get the oil levels checked is it auto or manual, does it get better when its hot cheers Joe

Hi Try this The procedure to program the remote fob or fobs is very simple and should take less than one minute. No tools are required. All remote fobs available must be present when the car is in programming mode, so that they can be programmed at the same time as the new fob. Any fobs that have previously been programmed to the car will need reprogramming at a later date if they are not available when carrying out the following procedure. 1. Enter the car and sit in the Drivers seat. 2. Place the key in the ignition. 3. Hold the headlight flasher arm back – the blue “high beam” light will come on the dashboard and the headlights will come on. 4. Keep holding the headlight flasher back and turn the ignition key to position 1. 5. Release the flasher, and then flash the headlights FOUR TIMES. You will hear a “Beep” AND/OR see a small red light illuminate briefly on the Gear Selector on the fourth flash of the headlight – this is to confirm that the car has entered programming mode. 6. Program each transmitter (up to FIVE fobs can be programmed) by pressing any button on the fob. You will hear a “Beep” AND/OR see the red light on the Gear Selector with each press of a button. 7. The car must “Beep” or red light flash five times to complete programming. Therefore, if you are only programming one transmitter you should operate the transmitter 5 times. If you are programming two transmitters you will operate one transmitter twice, and three times on the other. 8. Wait for the car to exit programming – this will be indicated by a final “Beep” AND/OR the red light on the Gear Selector. 9. The remotes are now ready to use.

hi model, engine and year might help does it have a after market imobilser when did it last work cheers Joe

hi theres some times calibration procedure with changing the actuators so the actuators know what position there in, if not, they can burn out, because they try to keep opening or closing, trying to reach a position thats not possible maybe worth checking cheers Joe

hi have a look here, they dont do a full kit, but do the parts seperate and at prces that wont break the bank had bushes from here before and they seem ok https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/ cheers Joe

hi what year and engine is it

hi have you tried euro car parts, they do them for most if not try British car parts as well cheers Joe

hi the idea of the plastic clips and fixing was to stop rust by !Removed! screws into your new sill they will start rusting where the screw go in cheers Joe

Swapping the mafs is easy, they just plug in

hi if the codes are pointing to the mafs and swapping them does not cure it the faults could possibly wiring to the mafs, maybe worth checking the continuity of the wiring between the ecu and both mafs to check the wiring ok hope there using jaguar software to read the fault codes as some generic code readers give wrong codes and end up giving you misleading faults codes cheers Joe

hi the fuse has clips all the way round and then pulls up theres just enough space to get to the sounder I bough a new sounder off ebay, they come up every now and then cheers Joe

hi do you know what the obd fault code was the engine running with no maf is normal, it uses default parameters and runs with restricted performace what engine is it, is it diesel with 2 mafs cheers Joe

hi any of the bluetooth modules will work on yours, the higher the letter at the end, the newer the revision model and supports more phones better module is the later black plastic one that phone/bluetooth combines and this swaps with the phone module in the boot cheers Joe

hi thats the zf 6 speed gearbox cheers Joe

Hi I prefer the standard rectangle one the shaped one reminds me of the rover 75, so that would put me off but its down to every body taste at the end of the day cheers Joe
