Looks excellent David

IMHO it’s better to weld the Girl up.
Preventative maintenance is always best too…
I always ask my mechanic to touch in and rustproof any areas and recoat with waxoyl every year.

But more on the scene is…Excellent

Good luck and good wishes. Keep our family, faith and proper vehicles safe.

Overall what a disappointing waste. We must do much more to protect and promote what already exists by restoring, maintaining modifying and improving. If we can all do our upmost in supporting this important mission then we can help safeguard our future and our mental health.

No but I’ve heard the same. Would be interesting to look into some specialists who can do so.
Cheers

It’s difficult to say if it was this sensor (IATS) or , I also noticed a cracked clip on the crankcase breather pipe. As this also could contribute to air being sucked in to the plenum through a slight gap, and it’s after the MAF, it would increase the airflow telling the ecu to increase the fuel. O...

Ok Andy thanks a lot.. it’s either the crank breather pipe (clip broken) letting air sucked in after the MAF or this air temp sensor. Or both. I cleaned it up anyhow but ordered another from Jaguar as a precaution. Before and after pics of the cleaned sensor …

Hi all, Can anyone please tell me what this sensor is called , what it does and the part number? It’s on my x308 4.0 sc, 2001. Located underneath air duct inserted into the intake main plenum I think. It’s the one to the right of the TPS. Small 2 pin plug with clip. I have “restricted performance “ ...

Hi,just trying to ascertain what is needed here. The MIL came on amber and “restricted performance “.. I checked her with the scanner and have P0172 & 175 “system too rich” bank 1 and 2…. Now the system check says fuel OK, O2S is OK, with CCM, CAT at INC. I also noticed the gear 1 stays in gear for ...

Did you get it sorted?

I’m convinced that that that was a sticky butterfly. Reason: The other day I’d disconnected the battery and charged my XJR overnight. Wife wanted to be taken somewhere in the morning so - Hooked her back up, usual high idle 2500 on cold start up when resetting itself.. went down to 1000, (usually I ...

Cheers Andy, as usual a good oversight of this section!
All the best, Stu

A different cause to the others on this post, but I’d thought I’d share.. I had low coolant warning after around 200 miles use, had to top up about a pint. Didn’t think it was the rad as it was bought as a genuine jaguar item from a reputable dealer known to the club only 18 months/3000 miles ago. S...

Best wishes and a happy new year to all !!

Hi I reckon the heads on mine are rounded. I’ve been told they are actually TS20s. This means they are 5-star instead of normal 6-star Torx . These are just the simple 2 screws that hold the TPS on to the throttle body. However I cannot find them on Jaguar parts numbers or in SNG. I’m sure they are ...
