Hi, Yesterday the battery warning light came up on my xf 2011. Then multiple faults suck as abs, gear etc. After reading a bit it suggested it is probably the alternator. The mechanic opened the boot to check the battery and it was filled with water! He said he pulled about 8 litres out. He...

My mechanic is at a loss. My options randomly work. Valet unlock hazard lights interior lights. All randomly work then stop. Then start. My steering wheel goes up at random times. Then will go back. My memory buttons don’t work. What should I do to remove the gremlins? Joke but this has been...

I seem to be having some electrical/security issues with a used 1990 Jaguar xj6. I cannot figure out if it is a faulty fob or something to do with the Jaguar Security System 'Black box'. This is actually my first car so I am a bit confused. I'll also note that I live in New York so some of the...

Hi I've been looking into a bit of a headlight issue I'm trying to wrap my head around. From what I've read everyone meets Lucas the prince of darkness at some stage of Jaguar ownership. I've completed the recommendations on this page, including cleaning and checking fuses of my right hand...

I have a Daimler, 4 Litre, Vandenplas -98 which I love to drive. I have had it for 7 years and have had a few electrical issues. Recently, while driving, the red light indicating no fastened seat belt, came on. My belt was fastened. It was raining and then the wipers stopped/started. It was...

Hello - I have a 2007 2.7 XJ X358 I use this very little and disconnect the battery when not used, When I last connected the battery it seemed to run ok. However last time when it was stationary without the iginition on I heard a clicking sound around the r/h rear of the car, I then left it and...

So I recently bought a 2013 XF. It’s a lovely car and I really enjoy the little touches which make it feel more than just a way to get from A to B, one in particular being the rotating air vents. Unfortunately a short while after buying it I noticed the driver’s side air vent was a little...

Hi guys, 2008 XF 2.7D Recently my hazard lights came on and wouldn't turn off again. I disconnected the battery and they went off, but I can't turn them back on again. Around the same time I also noticed I can't open the fuel filler door. I had the car scanned and it returned the following...

Hi folks, New here, so hope I'm not committing any faux pas in posting here with my inquiry. I tried searching for related issues but found mostly just things about door trim. I'm in the Seattle area (Pacific Northwest US, Washington), if anyone knows of reputable shops that might be able to...

Hello, The front left (driver) window when trying moving it, either up or down, it goes in steps... I mean, you keep pressing the switch to put it down but it goes down about 4 centimeters and stop. You have to release the switch and press it again and it goes another 4 cm down again. So you...

Hi I own a 2001 S type. It has been a week since I bought the car and it came with so many problems. The main issue at the time is the coolant leak under the car. I don't know if the leak is from the hose underneath the driver's side or the resouvoir itself. The second concern is that the...

I'm getting recurring electrical gremlins crop up on the car. I believe this is mostly down to the fact I'm working from home so driving less. The battery appears to be the original so I think a change is in order. But so many choices! As I understand it the AGM option may be better for cars...

Hi Everyone, Just a quick question. Is there anywhere I can get the electrical diagrams (schematics) for the XK-R? I know they are to be got on Topix, as is the Workshop Manual (which I have!) :rolleyes: Thanks Damien.

The car is a 2004 2.0 Diesel X Type. Scenario Came home from the airport after holiday with no issues, although there was possibly a random flat spot. Next morning I could happily spin the engine over, in fact I could probably have driven to work on the starter motor, but she wouldn't fire...

Just started having a few electrical issues on my new X-type - went completely dead the other day as I jumped in to start (as if immobiliser kicked in) and this evening it's just locked me in Park and the J-gate had no selector light lit up. Got the car into gear and drove home, first thing to...

I have an irritating problem with my 2001 XKR, I'm hoping your collective wisdom can help resolve! When I turn the key to position 2, the dash lights come on but the intensity of the lights oscillates between bright and dim (about 5 Hz). Sometimes this is accompanied by a clicking sound at the...

Morning I'll keep this separate from my existing alternator post as it's not entirely related. EBay has a alternator and the part number matches mine but it advises to check if my current unit uses 'smart charging on fords' . Can anybody tell me what this means and how I know. I have a 04 2.0...

Having a FEW problems with my beloved car. I'm now in search of an alternator for a 2.0 diesel estate04 plate. Going to check today to see if I can get any numbers off it. Has anybody got a good unit that I can have, to buy obviously. Thanks

Hi All, I've brought my car to a mechanic some time ago due some performance issues and he said he can't fix it it seems like some electrical issue. He also listed a few error but he didn't seem to be sure, also he mentioned a Unknown error and then he recommended some electrician. At this...

The car is a RHD 1997 X300 Sovereign 4.0 automatic and, having left it parked at my girlfriend's house for a few days, it refuses to turn over. Turn on the ignition and all the dashboard lights come on as usual, but when the key is moved to the 'start' position absolutely nothing happens - not...
