Update and the final result I will not be buying the car, I have not even been to take a look at it because the owner had a rethink and decided it was worth much more than the price we were talking about, something of a disappointment after all the interest shown, some good some not so good all of i...

Update

Unfortunately I have not been able to view the car yet as the owner is away for a few days, hopefully we can pickup where we left off a bit later on, I shall keep you posted. Thanks for your thoughts on this Jeff and David cause for optimism perhaps! we must wait and see.

Hi Guys, Just to let you know I have read and reread all your posts, (sadly all negative) your advise and comment is well intentioned, informed and valuable I would be foolish to go against it, thank you once again.That said, now more from curiosity than anything else I will be meeting with the owne...

I don't know what's gone wrong but I sent you all a thank you for your input! I can not retrieve it anywhere on the website. I have taken serious note of all the comments made and as a result was about to abandon the idea of even taking a look at this car and rang the owner to give him an explanatio...

I am considering buying a 2005 2.7 diesel car with 95,000 miles on the clock, the owner tells me it is in superb condition, it has a full service record carried out by a jaguar specialist he has used from day one. I know the chap is trustworthy through a mutual friend, the price is more than fair bu...

Thanks Mike K,

RN02 MME X308 Sport 2002 I had a little bother with door locking issues early in the year some of you may recall, following the advice given I eventually traced the fault to the offside passenger door, but unable to effect a proper repair and replacement at the time I disconnected all wiring to the ...

Paul, OK I will carry out a thorough investigation once I have removed the door card, as mentioned this door has been isolated electrically (but still works manually) and I have had no trouble with any others locking/unlocking since.(I would have put a smilie here but don't know how) I also don't kn...

I managed some time on the car at the weekend and with your help I believe I have now resolved all issues, a new fuse cured the selector locking problem, and I have traced the door locking difficulties down to the lock on the drivers side passenger door, I have disconnected all wiring in this door u...

Gear selector issue. Yes with your directions I moved the selector out of park but as soon as I put it back in, it locked! Brake lights are working fine, it is dark now and the car is under my carport which doesn't have any lights so weather permitting I will take a look at fuses tomorrow and do ano...

Thank you Paul, i will try to explain the sequence of events but before I do I should tell you that the problems have now got worse, the gear shift is locked in 'park' the engine starts and runs fine but I cannot move the car. The trouble began a couple of weeks ago or so, when I tried to lock the c...

Door locking has failed again only this time with complications, I cannot lock the car with the fob button or the key, also having problems with drivers window not wanting to close. Presumably these issues will all be linked. Any thoughts?

Happy new year all. Yelnats

Progress report, Today I removed the drivers door card, disconnected all wiring and after a struggle took out the lock assembly, then the Microswitch, this was mucky! I gave it a clean, squirted it with electrical connection cleaner, oiled the lock mechanism and put it all back together (another str...

Thanks for the input BB & Paul. Today I had a look at the fuses in the box under the drivers side passenger seat and discovered one 15amp fuse blown, I replaced it, tried the locking again and it worked... but only once, the fuse blew again. I presume now that the micro switch will be OK and I am li...

Boot loom wires all good. Been advised to put new battery in key fob, I can't believe it could be as simple as that but hey! it wont do any harm. I don't know where to go next, considering taking off the drivers door panel to have a looksee.
