Hi, The radio must be providing a live 'out' to the lighting circuit. The yellow is the permanent 12v in, so it looks like the 'adaptor' has linked the the orange/white to it. If you remove the fuse from the radio and the lights still light then its a cable/adaptor issue I think. You need to check w...

Used in the past for my X300 and X-type.

Generally speaking when a wire becomes 'loose' after taking a plug off, its because the pin itself has come out of the connector.
They usually have a small 'barb' to keep them in th plug. You may need to lift that and push it back into the connector plug. (noddy drawing attached)

I met a local guy called David Dancey and he is a good source of parts. He trades as Just-Jaguar and is located on A48 between Swansea and Carmarthen. He mails all over and supplies parts to some well known Jag people.

If a battery disconnect didnt help. I think you will need to remove again and make sure non of the contact/connections are wrong or damaged.

Yes and not cheap if you get the wrong one.
Call David on 07591273977 he breaks X300s /Jags and is breaking an 308 executive at the moment. I saw it last Weds. He is also good on price.

Removing one of the silencers each side should give a bit of bark when required, but still relaxed cruising.
The Cats are pretty effective silencers so losin a box shouldnt be an issue.

What astonished me was the state of the front springs when removed, and only 2 months since MOT. I have 40 years working on cars an...

Hi all, I had a sound like a bearing failure coming from the front of the engine. 4.0 X300. It turned out to be the idler pulley for the aircon/steering belt. I initially removed the seal and put some grease in it but have now replaced it. I found a replacement pulley which is metal and was a good s...
