Hi scottus, welcome to the forum. I am sure that you, like me, will find the wealth of information and knowledge on this forum is second to none. I could not have tackled half of the work I have without the support of the members, they don't even know about it !!!! The cars are brilliant. I've had m...

Hi lovejags, I don’t think there is any way of connecting a phone via Bluetooth on a 308. Parrot hands free can be wired in to use the speakers but I don’t think the steering wheel controls can be used. Will be interested to be proved wrong because I’ll update my Daimler super. Sorry it’s not more p...

Hello Bob, having been down the path of x350 acquisition early this year I understand and relate to your situation. They are fine cars, technically advanced and complex and therefore demanding of cash/time or both to keep in excellent order. A very satisfying car to own, drive and work on. Hopefully...

Hi all, bought my xjr during lockdown so it hasn't done a lot since I became it's owner. Following advise on the Forum the gearbox oil has been flushed with a new filter, expensive but immediately justified. Central locking rectified with the installation of a replacement drivers door module, foldin...

Hi all, just an update on my issue. Having read up on other threads regarding the difficulties in dealing with individual micro switches I bit the bullet and ordered a replacement door module. Fitted the module, both keys recognised and functioning other than not unlocking on remote. Will now get th...

Hi Stu, glad you've had an inexpensive positive result. Credit to your persistence in seeking an answer. If I've read your thread correctly the 3.8v reading was obtained with the same faulty multimeter that wouldn't record amps. If so I would be tempted to forget it. An incomplete locking cycle that...

Hi Tim, hope you've had some luck with your fob programming. I'm on a similar mission, my fobs didn't work when I recently purchased the car. I wasn't getting the beep on the 4th flash either. I removed the door panel and removed the door control module, unplugged the connections and flooded the mal...

Hello all, firstly thanks to all the forum contributors who unknowingly helped in the purchase of my first x350. My x308's, Daimler super 8 and xjr are current projects but I wanted something to drive other than my zafira and transit A black xjr with warm charcoal/ivory interior is now my Sunday bes...

Welcome Ryan, smiles per mile I’ve not had a car like it. Happy motoring and good luck with the project.

Mike, thank you for your response. It’s been a while but progress has been made. I rang Andy at autoreserve, a very helpful and knowledgable guy. He offered advice and encouragement that was very much appreciated. I decided to go down the road of the known good engine replacement as suggested by you...

Hello all, new to the forum but not under the circumstances I hoped for. Was hoping to be posting about the wonders of owning my pride and joy. It’s the only car I’ve owned that generates a smile every time I sit in her. Miss Daisy is a fully loaded 5 seat Daimler super v8 123000 miles A few months ...
