Apologies if this has been covered before. I have looked through the archive but didn't find any relevant posts. I have only one working key for my May 2000 4l V8 but have acquired a second remote and blank Jaguar key with the immobiliser chip. My question is what is the correct procedure for progra...

It is possible but fairly difficult to replace the expansion tank on a RHD pre 2002 car without removing the engine brace. The aluminium casting that provides the support for the wiper spindles is secured with three bolts and if these are removed it can be pushed out of the way enough to wriggle the...
