Managed to get some bulb holders that were intended for a BMW and the fit is perfect. HIDs are way better than normal filament bulbs, why don't you like them, the bulb itself is the same style so the light spread should be down to the lense. I paid £75 per pair plus about £15 for the pair of buld ho...

Well I spoke to Jagtech and it look like the exhaust has shifted on the flexy couplings behind the cats had shifted loads, not split but knackered.
This somehow caused all the electrics to trip causing all the faults.
The electrics have been reset and everything appears as normal.

Its gone to Jagtech in Stockton so I should find out whats up.

I did plug my code reader in but I don't think its compatible?

Evening all, Was out in my XJR 1998 and they was a bang sounded like a rifle crack going off under the car, seconds later I got DSC fault, then gearbox fault in the next ten seconds every code had been displayed then limp home mode, the lovely car decided limp home mode was no good and turned itself...

Does anyone know where its located on a 1998 XJR?

Thanks

Has anyone had any experience with Blueflame?
They do a system for the XJ8 for £580 plus £10 postage. It would be the system on ebay but with the centre box fitted. I've no worries about the quality but I don't want it to be intrusive in the car?

Thanks

Phill

You can buy replacement pipes for an XJ8 but the only place I found was Boro Tyres in Whitby and they wanted about £600.
Blueflame in Skelmersdale do a cat back stainless one for £580!

I've spoke to Jaguar today and apparently my arm rest colour is antelope.
I'm after one with the cup holder at the front.

If anyone has one for sale ring me on 07966264850

I can still have super car performance with LPG though. Seems daft not to get LPG if its going to pay for itself.

Think I'm going to have a look over Autogas2000 as they are reasonably priced and a lad I know recommended them.

If anyone finds out about the valves let me know please.

Thanks

Phill

It was actually Autogas 2000 who said about the valves burning. I've spoke to a few places who said it'll be fine. One of the places also said its fine to do an X type even though its prone to valve recession! Does anyone have know if the valves are different on Nikasil engines and steel liner engin...

I'm looking at getting LPG on my 1998 XJR with Nikasil liners. I've been told its a tricky job with prices ranging from £2000+vat to £2700+vat. One problem that has been mentioned is of the valves burning/pitting. The garage said this isn't a problem on steel linered cars. Are the valves different b...

I've just got a set of HID bulbs off ebay but they wont fit the Jag. I've had the same set fitted to my Volvo no problem.

Does anyone know if you can retrofit them easily. Doe X350's have HIDs that I can rob parts from?

All ideas are welcome.

Thanks

Hi,

I had my Volvo remapped by MTE and was impressed.

I've just spoke to Don and he said if I can provide him with an ECU make and model number he can tell me if it can be remapped.

Problem is I don't know where the ECU is?

Thanks

Hi all, Joined here after not having much success on any other Jag forums. I've got a 1998 XJR in Carinval Red with oatmeal interior. Its going well apart from the rear view mirror turning itself into a lava lamp and a rear damper knocking like hell. Am trying to get the garage I bought it from to s...
