I believe that this is to protect valuables left in the boot when parking the vehicle. I read here that there is access some where in/ near the glove box but I cannot remember exactly what it was . Surf the net under Jaguar valet problems and you may get the answer.

thats what i do with mine ,the phone thing but error E 1 means that a cd is jammed in the unit,happens to me all the time as i only use it for jaguar meetings .Now what you do is to pull out the cartridge and remove all the CDS then re insert it and press the eject button again and it might if your lucky retrive the cd in the player and return it to the cartridge ,.then refit all the others till it happens again

if your xj8 is the all alloy xj350 model which i am sure it will be at that year, if its petrol it is under the plastic under floor panel on the lh side of the car as you sit in the car. the panel goes all the way down the lh floor pan the filter is at the front part of it. if its a diesel its under the bonnet lh side and you will need to bleed the system after changing it by turning the ignition on/off with a few seconds pause in between each cycle about 10 times. hope this helps.

What's the dash temp gauge say? Is it really overheating, or does it need to be filled to the very top, like mine. Then the light went off.

Hi there:DTC P1386 - VARIABLE CAM TIMING OVERADVANCEDPossible Causes:- Bank 2 VVT solenoid valve to PCM PWM drive circuit fault. - Bank 2 VVT actuator oil supply fault. - Bank 2 VVT actuator stuck.The biggest issues with vvts are oil supply issues. Useally debris like oil sludge in oil pickup screen, loose bearing clearances as an engine wears, and oil passages blocked/partially blocked to and in vvts. The first (i always shoot for cheapest potential likely fix) use a good engine flush(2 bottle for our higher than normal capacity engines) follow directions on bottle. Change oil and switch to a 20-50w. Leave out 1 quart and add 1 qt auto ****** atf(highly detergent, more so than engine oil and wont hurt anything) while you have overly ******** cam codes, it may be an issue of apply and blockage that keeps pressure in vvts too long when supposed to release. Most times its ******** cams( like the 1 i am doing right now....try this first and go from there, rememebr to clears codes and give time, you may have to clear codes a few times as it may continue to reset. DTC P1396 - VVT Solenoid Malfunction - (B bank)Check HERE a TSB about this faylkt code.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Most likely you need an overhaul.

My best guess is that the piston is near the top of the cylinder but the leak is below the rings right now where it is. Perhaps a crack in the block near the bottom of the cylinder allowing the leak only during part of the piston cycle.

you may get more help if this was in the right search. would think the mother board has a fault could be the fuse or the psu side of the mother board.

See if you can get jumper cables on the car. Hot one on the starter post where battery connects, and negative to a frame piece. You may get enough juice flowing to get the doors unlocked.

this could be down to a number of things, one is that the little sender unit on expansion tank has had it, or the vehicle has stood for a while at a low level, inside the coolant tank there is a small pole with a circular tube that slides up and down according to coolant, work that wall in up and down motion for a while and quickly flush tank out with clean water,(vigorously) fill run engine till hot, keep toping up and that's it replace cap. if this does not solve problem by replacing the sender unit on base of coolant tank, be careful with this It must be inserted into the hole square as it has not a lot of play space and they tend to crack very very easily. good luck and hope this helps.

flooded, common problem with the old nicosyl coated liner engines, bores worn out, no compression, check engine no,to see if your car is in the range.
