Hi folks, Mine is a 2003 X100 Coupe. I have this light showing, 17 blinks; my garage has diagnosed a faulty sensor in the cluster above the interior mirror which will be replaced. This fault occurred immediately after the headlining was replaced. David Marks has told me that if this light is showing...

Thank you.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for picking up on this.

Hi folks, Can anyone tell me the connections to the mirror. I have three wires... one possibly purple... no connector. Another brown with female spade connector. Another black also with female connector. There are three terminals: One + One - Male at the other end. Finally... has anyone got a spare ...

Are you responding to my concern about jolting into gear and not changing up?

Hi Doug,

A diff or gearbox failure will be more than expensive... better piece of mind... change the oil. Get it done by an accredited garage.

Good luck, Ron C

Hi Andy, Speed sensor replaced and diagnostics re-run... all dashboard faults cleared, everything as normal, no jolting into gear... all OK. Test run (15 miles) all working perfectly, a MoT pass and no advisories. A longer run next week should fully should settle things. Is this really a "switch it ...

Indeed, but often useful.

Good morning Andy,

Entirely spontaneous...

It's often the way; garage the car with a fault and the display has cleared when you go back.

Good morning folks,

This morning after many days lay off the gearchange is working normally; no jolting into drive or reverse...here's hoping.

Hi Andy,

Thankyou; that's good information and advice.

I had the gearbox oil changed at 54,085 miles, mileage is now 87,000 so should be OK, but I will consider once the speed sensor is changed and the next diagnoses has been reported.

Best regards, Ron C

Good morning Jim,

New last October and showing in good state, I wish it is simply low voltage.

Regards, Ron C

Good morning both, Thank you for responding. The car is booked to have the rear driver's side wheel speed sensor replaced, the garage (not a back street operator) tell me they can't use the diagnostic computer to search for more faults until the wheel sensor is changed. At present the dashboard read...

Hi folks,

My 2003 XK8, 4.2L jolts when put into gear; either drive or reverse and won't change up, dash board shows as "gear box fault" in yellow. There are other yellow fault warnings.

What do you think?

Good afternoon Jimbo, Thank you for responding, I have done much as you suggest and will try again. The real issue is poor access to the area where the detached pad has to be re-glued, my XK8 has a boot as opposed to a hatch, the job is best tackled by a small flexible person with long strong finger...
