No aircon - kompressor kaput?
Hi all. I have a 2007 Jaguar X350 4.2 XJR with non-functional AC. It has never worked in my ownership (1.5 years) and the car was laid up by the previous owner for at least 12 months before that. I think the previous owner hid the fault by selling in December! Anyway, I tried re-gassing and found th...

Re: Footwell fusebox cover
I need one of these too, and have been trying unsuccessfully to find it on the SNG Barratt website. What I have been finding is many odd items like this, both major and minor, are actually cheaper (if available) brand spanking new from Jaguar than being sold used on Ebay! However this little bit esc...

Re: Boot struts
Mine work fine but are rusty and ugly. I too would be interested to hear how much and where.

Re: 20" Sepangs
Sepangs are a beautiful wheel, but a bit maintenance heavy in the old brake dust dept for my liking! Top tip in keeping corrosion down by regular cleaning - Korrosol or similar (theres loads of other brands do the same job). Removes ingrained metallic debris from road and brake friction material. Mu...

Re: Intention to ban the use of the XK and similar engines in Kit Cars
Jeesus, do these beuracrats have nothing better to do. The kit car industry is a shadow of its former self, how many realistically are registered each year? A couple of hundred? Hardly going to get the polar ice caps melting anytime soon. Does this legislation also covers engine swaps in already reg...

Re: First Jaguar so why not an XJR :-)
Could you point me in the direction of this past magazines section? This forum is huge with so many sub models and sections. Are they freely viewable or JEC members only?

Re: Potential XJR Purchase
Sounds a cheap-ish way to scratch the itch if nothing else. You can always move up the ladder later if it turns you on. I discounted a bargain low mileage £4500 03 XJR a year ago because it had no heated seats. Mistake really.

Re: 4.2 supercharged coolant system schematic diagram.
Eurgh, not a job that can be put off until spring then? I hate dealing with cooling systems this time of year, upside down water running down your armpits. I try to be preventative but its always going to be this time of year when something rears its head.

Re: X350 sidelight laamp replacement/upgrade.
This was one of the first things to do for me, the combination of icy white and, well, orange, makes the dipped beam front end of the XJ look rather silly. Been waiting weeks for my LED bulbs to arrive from Guangdon Province or wherever. I didn't realise until reading this thread that it is going to...

Re: Got one at last
Excellent jimdox, Like you I was looking for a year or more, very frustrating. I have a feeling I know the car you bought, its stunning in the dealer ad but I would still love to see soome more pictures. If I hadn't bought mine a week or three before I would have snapped that one up, Radiance Red wa...
