2017 3.0s diesel. I have a ‘ dipped beam fault’ message appearing. My JLR specific icarsoft scanner tells me B1D64 - ‘motor operation, malfunction of left actuator’. I am working my way through the list of anecdotal fixes found on the net and elsewhere but am kind of resigned on having to either rep...

Have come to the conclusion that the croc clip method is probably the best option for me in this case. I can not get the car near to the garage so will use an extension lead to a ‘dry box’ , then a CTek extension from the dry box to the croc clips. Not too much of a hassle to do this from time to ti...

So got myself a used 2017 Fpace 3.0S back in the summer. I would like to permanently install a CTek connection traffic light pigtail or panel connector to a suitable location on the vehicle as it does not really get enough use now to keep the battery on top form. I have all the CTek stuff and correc...

Just doing some basic research before tackling the job of fitting a towbar to the wifes 2004 3.0 Sport AWD.
The question is does the vehicle wiring have a socket that a dedicated wiring kit can plug in to or is it a case of tapping in to the loom.
Any one know??

Read about this in the Dec. 16 mag. I fancy having a go. I have kept an eye out for the parts required - x2 powerfold mirrors, x2 door modules. Over time I have collected both both mirrors - in the correct colour and excellent order (result) - and have spotted the drivers door module with the correc...

Hi all. I seem to recall reading a bit back in the mag an item about the Jaguar service plan menu for older cars. The bit that caught my attention was that the page on the dealer computer system for my 4.2 normally aspirated XK was not immediately noticeable to the worker and had to be searched for,...

After having the car scanned at a local Jaguar specialist with IDS/SDS and codes cleared all seems well now.
Fingers crossed that is the end of the story.

Could be worth a try I suppose. Not sure what the missing voltage would mean to the rest of the system though. The car has its cover on and connected to the bat maintainer now as we are going away for a couple of weeks on a caravan trip. In the meantime the Mrs brought me some slow release bug killi...

Well I pulled the BBS out of the XK today and opened it up. The bad news is that the battery inside has pins ( I think 5? , 3x+ve and 2x -ve.) soldered directly to the PCB and is 6 volts not 2.4 like the one from the Focus, perhaps because of the tilt sensor. It would be possible to de- solder and s...

The sounder arrived,actually from a 2015 Focus not 2013 as I said earlier. It is a plastic sounder unit contained in a metal outer case. The plastic case has the makers name ' Delphi' on it below a code number, PA66-GF30, ignore this number as it refers to the type of plastic the case is made of and...

Thanks Mike.I just remembered that I had obtained ( from eBay on a cd rom ) a workshop manual for the X150 some time ago. I have other cars - the MGB has been taking a lot of my time lately - so just forgot I had it! The manual is pretty impressive for the few pounds I paid for it. More than £5 but ...

Hi all. Just occasionally my 2008 x150 will sound the alarm without any apparent cause. I have ruled out several potential causes including the neighbours cat. I have very recently replaced the original vehicle battery with a Bosch S4 so am happy that a failing battery is not the cause. Last night i...

Update. I sent off emails but have not yet had a reply. I also contacted by telephone Nav- Tv . I was passed on to someone " even more expert". He did not have a clue except to say we usually advise a switched acc connection. This I knew but needed to know if there was one in the boot where the modu...

I have also seen a "taped inside the bumper" type product.
Could it have been one of those "beep beep" reverse warning light bulbs that has either failed or been replaced?

Hi. Having installed the remote and one touch convertible top gadget from the Jagwrangler ( brilliant and easy to install by the way) I then turned to installing a navtv module to enable a reversing camera that would appear on the factory nav touch screen. No real difficulties here either except tha...
