Very sorry to say, I no-longer have my X300 M859 CLH. My Nieces Boyfriend took the car from me, did a little work on it, and sold it to an older Gentleman in Perthshire, who reckoned he was going to really do a good paint-job on it! My membership finishes in August, and I'd like to thank everyone wh...

Hi Stu Now then, my understanding of the sensors on the X300 ( Which maybe wrong !) There are two sensors above the Thermostat housing, the sensor with the two wires is the Temperature Sensor. Next to it with a single wire is the Coolant Temp switch/sender that feeds the instrument panel. (My X300 w...

Hi Roy Sorry, so long since I replied, I no longer have a Jaguar, but still like to keep up with the mark. Re, your problem. You could try a couple of things, You can look this up on the website. Disconnect the battery for more than 2 hours, this might do a re-set alone. There is another thing that ...

Hi Roy How about this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401805676399 Cost you £200. Try Autoreserve parts, they are a great help. Ilkeson Derby, DE7 8EU. That 16 figure item number above, just plug it into ebay. search panel. By the way, the E and F at the end of the number doesn't make any difference Hop...

Hi All, Having followed several E10 debates, and PODCASTs, from JEC, I feel the issue falls into two positions. 1. If one uses the car for a significant mileage, then avoid E10 in your classic. In preference use the ESSO supreme 99 but be aware, as from the recent JEC podcast that ESSO only distrib...

Hi Paul Good view. I totally concur. I wonder how many people that enjoy older cars really look at the issues surrounding ownership, and see if they can align those issues with current environmental issues and forced government legislation. I particularly wonder how many people that enjoy these cars...

The last thing I'd want to do is step on any toes. However, in my opinion I firstly wouldn't be using E10 fuel in any car before 2011. Also modern fuels shelf life is less than Three months. In your position I'd make sure my last while of using the car I was putting Shell V Power in it or Esso Syner...

Hi. Common problem on all these models from X300 onwards. This part has not been available for a long time, and latterly was only available as part of the rest of the trim at £100's. Jaguar have a lot to answer for their supply of parts, and their prices, it's no wonder that their newer cars are les...

Do you mean the gear select surround? All bit are readily available on ebay.

Hi Tony Yes, RAC is the better of the Two, (AA or RAC) I have personal cover including my wife, we can both drive any of our cars, or in my case including motorcycles, including Europe cover, £169. This will remain the same with the RAC, whereas the AA increase the cost of cover year on year! I was ...

Hi Peter An X300 is a Six Cylinder or Twelve Cylinder from 1994 to 1997, the forerunner to the XJ8. Virtually the same shape as yours, with a few differences. My car has 16 inch wheels, and I tend to use a medium brand tyre that's hard wearing because I live North Scotland and the roads are not part...

Just a very quick question. My 3.2 X300 with 121k on the clock, has recently started revving to 6000rpm before changing up the autobox. Now previously I'm almost sure when I had my foot flat on the floor in kickdown, it changed up about 5700rpm, just in the red-line, but I'm sure it wasn't as high a...

Do you want a new one, or is a good second-hand ok? This was fitted to mine, but I changed it for colour-coded with mesh. Mines an X300, but the grill currently on my X300 came from an X308, so presumable they interchange. Let me know if your interested, I can post it down and you can check it out t...

Continued Pictures.

Hello to all. Whilst checking my 1995 X300 over recently, I spied a small bit of surface rust just below the rear lights. (My car is virtually rust-free and solid underneath in original condition, with 122k miles, driven all year and lives outside all year far North Scotland.) I removed the rear lig...
