Cheers Andy, Thanks for your response, Yes the reversing sensors are an odd one... looking back over the old receipts and history.. it turns out that the reversing sensor system was an after fit supplied and fitted by Racing Green Jaguar way back.. the new (secod hand - refinished) bumper which has ...

Alrighty then... After getting to the underside of the drivers wing.. there was no sounder in evidence at all.. So reassembled and did the same on the passenger side front wing (on the left as you sit in the drivers seat) and there it was.. looked ok but removing it was another matter, one of the bo...

Hi Ian, Thanks for your message... and the location of the sounder.. In answer to your first question.. The one I have acquired, I heard working on the vehicle it was taken from which was to be scrapped..but that was about 8 months ago now, I also had a rear bumper inc. reverse sensors to replace th...

Hi all, Happy New Year...! I have owned my 1998 XJR nearly 7yrs now, when I purchased it, it used to beep when I locked and unlocked it.. after about 6 months this stopped happening all the time instead being very intermittent and I found it would be more likely to work when the weather was damp tha...

Thanks BB, I know that your first course of action doesn't work... as I tried this when I first discovered the problem and that was also done when we replaced the mirror with a known good one. So it's over to the Steering Column Stalk will let you know... Thanks again

This may be a little long thus I apologise in advance... Shortly after purchasing my 1998 XJR in Feb this year I realised that the auto dipping mirror and the auto headlights weren't functioning... this may have been the case prior to purchase as I hadn't checked either in fact it was a couple of we...

Thanks for your response Rob, but can those members write it down in a blow by blow account ala Haynes manual... that would be most helpful...! :) The links posted by others were helpful ( and I have archived them for reference on my PC, though that one you mention is for the 1999 AJ27 engine and mi...

I had spate of the restricted performance message which I believed was due to a problem with Cruise Control as it only seemed to occur when I was using it or it was switched on... took it and had it checked on two occasions for fault codes... none present!! continued on for another month and I also ...

Would that be the same Jaguar Heritage that I phoned a few months ago to be told that they don't really do pats etc that cover the X308? :o I was and remain quite amazed at how little the X308 is catered for especially considering that when I purchased my first X300 XJ Sport which at that time was t...

Thanks Mike, any idea of anything in Hard Copy?

In view of the fact that there is no Haynes type manual available for the X-300/308 is anyone aware if there is any other workshop or service type manual available for these cars please?

And as if to illustrate all above... have received the December Issue of the magazine today and there is no XJ forum section in the magazine at all.. Oh well...

Thanks for that Stuart, I believe the original finish is a powder coating and as you say it is very thin... I have seen another couple of XJR's both approx the same age as mine, give or take a year and their Superchargers have no evidence of such chipping so I have no idea what happened to the one o...

Well, thanks for that Mike... I'm still trying to locate somewhere/someone who can assist me in my search.. I also spotted this on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAGUAR-XJR-XKR-HI-PERFORMANCE-EATON-M112-SUPERCHARGER-PACKAGE-4-LITRE-ENGINE-/120814876520?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1...

Hi all, I have for sale a pristine copy of the above publication which has only ever been out of it's polythene cover to browse following purchase back in 2008. It cost then £36.95 and the purchase invoice is still with it, it now costs £42.95 from the same source. I have put the item for sale on Eb...
