As per title. The noise is connected with rotation only. There are no knocks or clunks (so not CV, by my understanding). It gets faster as I go faster, and so it would seem like bearings, the shafts, or the wheel. I'm sure it is not connected to the brakes as discs and pads were renewed as...

Hi All, My first day owning a Jag is proving rather stressful.. Having just bought my 2006 X type 2.5 manual, I'm now worried about potential problems. The main one is that pulling away in 1st or 2nd, or changing between these gears, I am getting a knock or jerk from the engine. The dealer...

For a racing formula that never actually launched in UK.

Being the numbskull that I am, I seem to have misplaced my locking wheelnut key. Misplaced in this context meaning "I left it on the wheel and drove off". I have another on the way, but could take a while to arrive, Might be a stab in the dark but if anybody around Swansea has said key, I'd be...

Hi, I have registered to this site in order to pick the brains of anyone who may be in the know here. I bought myself a 2005 X type 2.0 Diesel in November of last year, for the first 1200 miles it was driving lovely, very smooth, all be it with far less fuel efficiency than would be expected...

Hello I own a 2009 x type estate 2.2 diesel Sport premium. I hit a deer the other day and if I can repair it myself I won’t have to let it be written off. The help I need concerns how the slam panel is attached to the car, welded or other method. What sort of job would it be. Would it need any...

Fuel gauge problem. Hi all I have a 2009 x type 2.2 diesel. When I fill up with diesel the fuel gauge takes ages to go up. (About 15-20 min) it seems to go down normally. Also noticed the trip computer also takes ages to update how many miles are left with amount of fuel. Would this be a problem...

Hello all! I've got a 2.0D Estate from 2005 which I think is a great car painted black and the previous owner sprayed the wheels black too so it's got a bit of a sporty look to it. Now the car has had some work done to it in the last 6 months, mostly under my ownership the last owner was...
