hi its hard to say on the diesels really, could be one of many things really and only guess work get it plugged in , if its going into limp mode then theres fault code which will tell you where the fault is cheers Joe

hi If its the zf 6hp26, 6 speed, 6 speed gearbox goes to 2 to 5 on the left side of j-gate, though sealed for life still needs servicing, if its done 115k it well overdue if it low on oil it can make it slip and even do damage theres kits on ebay, for the service parts, which include oil, filter, new pins for filter and a mechatronics sleeve which are prone to leak only use genuine zf parts and especially zf oil lifeguard 6, if not can cause lots of issues at a later date also if it done at jaguar or a descent jaguar indy, they check the gearbox software is up to date, they clear adaptations and do a learn cycle, these alone are known to fix most of the issues but yours sounds like its low on oil, with it slipping, torque converter relies on oil and if it low could be the issue cheers Joe

hi yes thats the bluetooth socket you have two options you either need the earlier option, phone module in the boot with extra D2B fibre optic link, bluetooth module in the armrest and a mic fitted to the roof console or the later option, plastic type phone/bluetooth combined module in the boot, with extra D2B fibre optic link and bluetooth antenna for phone/bluetooth module and mic fitted to roof console. later setup is easier to fit and sometime cheaper as only one module is needed cheers Joe

hi most of these sound like a low battery have you charged it overnight, this might cure it a low battery cause lots of problems with the modules plus all these codes are not listed in jtis these are the one i could find cheers Joe

hi not sure a replacement module will work with out programing, there configured to the car if the replacement does not work it will need programing to the car cheers Joe

hi nice easy fix, might be worth changing them for led's there much brighter cheers Joe

hi like above there on ebay and the switches alone are very cheap cheers Joe

hi the bottom 8 lines should be live data and should alter as you rev the car p010c and p010p are not jaguar codes, I assume the generic ones by your foxwell, jaguar jtis does not list these, you would need to plug in with jaguar software cheers

hi yes its ok, it meets jaguar spec, its a basic oil though last time mine was serviced by Jaguar they used Castrol edge professional 5W30 C1 in mine cheers Joe

hi thats correct for most 4wd drive cars you have 3 diffs, lose any drive shaft and you lose all drive transfer case just diverts power to the rear if you want 100% power to front and rear, only way is to get the centre diff locked, easiest way it to weld it up, dont think there are any after market centre diff lock options some more serious awd cars have the ability to lock the centre diff, top of the range awd's are able to lock all 3 diffs , but it not a cheap option some cars use lsd's, limited slip differentials, which will give certain levels of power splits like 60/40 or 50/50 power splits to front and rear modern off roaders like land rovers cheat, they usually still have the centre diff lock option, but the use the abs to replace the front and rear diff lockers, by automatically electronically applying the brakes to the wheel that spins, hence giving the opposite wheel traction, cheers Joe

hi its not that easy, for a start halogen and hid have different connectors, so you would have to cut and chop the wiring then you would lose manual headlight level adjustment cheers Joe

hi its the the wheels, 20" and low profile tyres is more for handling a set of 18" wheels would cure it, cheers Joe

hi propshaft rubber dougnuts can fail and vibrate, or even inbalance, has it had any work done on diff, prop or gearbox if prop is taken apart and not put back the exact same, it can cause vibration due to out of balance gearbox, if it in sport, it does hold on to the gears for longer, other thing the gearbox learns your driving style, so if previous owner drove it like that it will continue to do it for a while getting the gearbox adaptations cleared, will clear all old driving styles and learn your alone cheers Joe

hi yes bottom one drain, side one is level, but the gearbox has to be at a exact temperature cheers Joe

HI No need to flush, that's what the filter there for the oil should come out quite clean, the oil just degrades due to high temperature and age, if it come out heavily contaminated or dirty, it has other issues and a service aint going fix it Genuine parts alone are £200, it takes a few hours to do and a strict procedure for end level check when you drain, you only get about 6.5 L of fluid out and about 5 L stays in the torque converter, only way to empty that is to remove and drain I did mine a couple of years ago, it worth doing, but doing right, use the genuine parts and the genuine oil ZF Lifeguard 6, if you don't you will regret it mixing oils from different brands is bad and can make the oil go bad if mixed don't recommend flushing because flushing will disturb dirt and particle's from the filter and move them round the gearbox, which is bad, as the gearbox basically is a hydraulic system with lots of solenoids and also there's the ecu for the gearbox also submersed in the oil as well having a indy or dealer do is good as they should also check the software is up to date and they also reset the adaptations, the ecu memory and how the gearbox drives, it also learns how the drivers style, problem is it also remember faults and bad gear changes, these will be all cleared and usually makes the car drive really well again cheers joe

hi cantact raistlin on here he does that retro fit cheers Joe

hi go to british diagnostics you can get the diagnostic lead and software for about £100 and you can do anything jaguar can, diagnostics, fault finding and programing modules I have one, well recomended http://britishdiagnostics.co.uk/ cheers Joe

hi hard to tel from that pic if you can get a better pic, might be able to tell cheers Joe

hi post a pic up could be phone module or a tracker cheers Joe

hi only way to know for sure is to get it plugged in really, every body's opinion will just be guess work plugging in jaguar software will give a exact fault code but usually it something like a stiff cable, a low battery or a stiff caliper, its just a electronic motor really, it tries to reach 2 positions parked and released, if it cant get there within a certain time and load resistance, then it will come up with a fault cheers Joe

hi I'd get changed as soon as, as the oil level is quite critical on the autobox you can look on SNG Barratt, for part number but I'd phone with a vin, as they may be different from year to year and engine to engine there not expensive and quite straight forward to change cheers Joe

hi there are no earths on the rear lights they use a permanent 12v feed to the lights and the rear body module switched the negative earth to each bulb to bring them on check the fuses, each cluster has two 12v feeds make sure you have both and as above, check there all clean and free from any corrosion 1 feed does indicator and reverse, the other feed does fog, side and brake lights, looks like you have lost one of the 12v feeds cheers Joe

hi If you phone a jaguar dealer they will usually tell you the radio code or try this cheers Joe

hi My S-type R usually has Castrol edge professional OE 5W30 Thats what Jaguar put in on the last 4 services you can still get it from mytyres link here MY TYRES cheers Joe

hi try this below cheers Joe
