yes. like with any type of control module it can be reprogrammed. the problem is finding some one to have the equipment other than the dealer who can do it. most dealers want deal with used or second hand parts due to liability reasons.

the amber light is a can malfunction or indicator light....press ur display stalk to display the issue..

No, the steering on this car is defective. Take it back and demand that they fix it ASAP.

check the tail light sockets the wires or terminals at the tail lamp are melted and causing your concern, seen like 4 of em

it will drop when going down hill and no load on engine ,this is normal ,think the shunt resistor in the gauge could be playing up where by its allowing the gauge to fluctuate a bit too quick, but the old adage applies here if it works leave well alone .Whats the outside temperature ?? this will have a big effect as well ,even more so if its below zero outside ,these cars a massive rad in them .Best advice is polish it and treat leather seats with cream and a nice vac out and it will run perfectly and never go wrong ,just like my sovereign

Hello. I can assist you. Actually the top speed is supposed to be 123 MPH. I would recommend that you have a scan done on your Jag as there is definitely something wrong.

you need a diagnostic computer to reset it

the fuel gauge on a jaguar x type is regulated by a floating gas gauge that measures resistence; the float drags a contact across a board that has variable resistence. You can retrieve the sending uint from the gas tank by removing the carpet cover and the spare tire assembly from the trunk. Then you carefully tap the retaining ring from the tank and remove the fuel sending uint. You will see the float, the assembly and the resistor board. carefully take the unit apart, and the sliding joint where the float meets the board (which is made of copper) needs to be cleaned, I suggest Brasso, a metal shiner. Rub it well into the copper joints and let it dry to a haze, then buff it to a brilliant shine. Reassemble the sending unit and replace it into the tank. The unit will work perfectly from empty to full for about another 20 years, and the two dollar investment in the Brasso is well worth is; saves you about 60 bucks on a new sender
