Hello, For anybody interested, or as a reference in case anybody experiences the same problems, the faults have now been diagnosed and repaired by Paul at Wiltshire Independent Jaguar in Swindon. The code C1279 was the Yaw Rate Sensor circuit failure. The (expensive) sensor has been replaced, which ...

Thanks Paul, very much appreciated. Iv'e just had a quick look with the J gate surround removed and i can just see it under the handbrake switch. I think when i had the centre consul off yesterday the air duct being there made me think that the sensor wasn't there. Now i know differently, thank you ...

Thanks Paul, Thats really helpful. I'll try and have a look at the OSR wheel ride height sensor tomorrow, weather permitting. If the ride height sensor isn't the culprit, would i need to remove the J gate selector to get to the Yaw sensor? I did remove the centre consul and J gate surround this afte...

Hi, Not quite sure where to post this plea for help as i was investigating two problems, but as this fault code shows up on my ICarsoft under ABS section i have put it here. Please feel free to correct me if its not relevant. Car is a 2005 3 litre V6 X350 with 80K miles. First thing i noticed was a ...

Embarrassing confession coming up as it turns out i do not have HID headlamps on my car just standard halogen lamps. Only sussed it out when researching for second hand units and thinking these do not look like the headlamps in my car. So with the help of several past posts in this forum, i was able...

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the reply, i'll check that out. Well worth a try.

Hi, My 2005 X350 3.0 V6 failed its MOT yesterday on quite a few items but the one causing concern is the Offside HID dipped beam not working and Headlight levelling device inoperative. Car is booked in to independent Jag specialist (Wiltshire Jag Swindon) but there was a moment of silence when i men...

Hi, My 2005 V6 X350 failed its test yesterday on several suspension dust covers. All the rear Anti roll bar linkage dust covers failed both sides, with upper and lower? Not too worried about that (other than cost) and realise ARB links will have to be replaced. Both front suspension arm ball joint d...

Andy Thats a good shout, i have had excellent advice from David Marks in the past.
I did another round trip of 30 miles yesterday evening in traffic and country roads and it never missed a beat.
Thanks

Hello again, I had a very reasonable conversation with the garage owner when i collected the car on Tuesday morning. He said their diagnostic check showed that the gearbox was showing evidence of internal clutch slipping in 2nd to third gear and did i notice the car was not pulling as it should in t...

Hi Andy and David, The extended warranty only covers a maximum up to a £1000.00 per repair so quite a bit short i'm afraid. I too thought that this quote was a bit steep and am grateful for your thoughtful and practical replies regarding sourcing a used box and getting a Independent Jag garage to fi...

Hi Again, Just an update after car has been into Transmission garage for diagnostic. it doesn't sound good. I had a call back from the receptionist who said that the box requires a rebuild. She quoted £3210.00 for the work to be done. Does that sound like a fair quote anybody? Or should i shop about...

Yeah, You are absolutely right.

Hi,
Contacted the warranty company and got the go ahead to get a transmission diagnostic, so booked in with Auto Transmissions Gloucester on Monday 3rd April. I fear a sleepless week ahead.

Hi Andy , Code was "P0782 2-3 shift/Gear load 2-3" to be accurate.
