Ah right , still you got it sorted and hopefully it will give you trouble free motoring for a while ....

Hi Rod .... Could the garage not remove the carbon and give it a clean instead of fitting a new turbo mate ? My Jag has only done 50,800 miles ... Ray ...

Hi Jim ... Thanks for your reply , my car has done 50,800 miles and with regard to the gearbox being serviced I don`t know mate ... I had a garage look at the fault codes today and there were quite a few , maybe still on there the car was first used , anyway there were two that could be the problem , one a tirbo error and the other a gearbox fault , reading other posts these could be related ... I drove the car back approx 6 miles and the light came up and the car went into limp mode , its odd as its always arounf 6/7 miles after resetting it comes back on again . Tomorrow I`m going to drive to teh garage and see exactly what the faults are now in the ECU... Cheers Ray

Anyone had this problem before ? , The car has been reat since I bought on Christmas eve. Today got in it , pulled off the drive and got to the first junction , pulled out and the engine management came on and a waring "Gearbox Fault" flashed up under the speedo....stopped when I could ,switched off ,then tried it again ,fine no warning lights , carried on for 6 miles then it happened again , same as before stopped ,switched off ,re-started fine .Drove back from shopping approx 6 milles stopped at junction waiting to turn right ,pull off and agin the lights came on . It seems to get stuck in gear when the lights came on . Re-statrt it ,lights out and the box changes loverly again , Any ideas guys ???? Its a 2008 X-type 2.2d Soverign Auto ....

Hello mate , yeah good , they seem to make the ride a little less hard so I reclon I`ll be sticking to these now .... Look for a new home for my 17" wheels now .....

Thanks for that mate ....

Hi guys... Anyone know the colour of a switched feed in the boot , I have the sovereign with the sat nav and multi changer and I need a switched live feed for my DAB converter ,any ideas .... There are so many wires going into the sat/changer just not to sure where to tap into ..... Cheers

Hi Guys ... I need a live lead so I can hard wire my Dab converter and my speed camera detector , do any of you know if I can take it from the ignition barrel as that`s easy to get to , and possibly what colour wire should I look for .. Both the units have in line fuses so shouldn`t need to connect to the fuse box .... Cheers

I`ve bought a set of 16" wheels , should be here by Monday so I`ll let you know soon after ... Cheers

Hello mate .. I`m Braintree Essex, style not sure , I`ll try and upload a pic .... There you go ....

Well I`m hoping to pick a set of 16" wheels & tires up at the weekend , in which case I will be selling my 17" with 225/45/17 wheels and tires ...

Cheers mate, I`ll do the same if I get them first , lol

Hi guys I`m thinking of changing my wheel size to 16" wheels from 17" 235 /45/17 tires, so I can run a higher profile tire to hopefully give a smoother ride and less tire noise , has anybody done this to there jag and will it give a smoother,quieter drive ? Cheers

He didn`t do mate , couldn`t communicate with the ECU, however after speaking to the manufacturers of the ecu he is going to try again on Tuesday using a different protocol ... Fingers crossed
