Top 20 2006 Jaguar XJ8 - Page 6 Questions & Answers

the normal prob is caused by the wiring around rh trunk hinge broken removing supply to release motor. you have a manual key slot in rh of trunk lid think its in either of the trunk badges or the plinth this siezes up because everyone uses the remote or dash switch but when the wiring fails you cant use the key slot try spraying plenty of relase fluid in the slot say wd40 and gently keep trying to free it off that has allways worked for me when you get in remove the plastic rh trunk hinge cover and repair fractured wiring good luck

Attach battery power to the alternator output wire under the hood and open the trunk as you normally would as now you should have power for the trunk opener.DO NOT try to start the car using this method.

All you do is take off pump drive pulley (3) bolts, remove upper radiator hose off of radiator, upper cooling transmissiion line to give you more room and two bolts hold on the pump. Remove high pressure hose and reservoir hose

For Jaguar radio codes contact this link with the serial number: Car radio codes in Uxbridge London Gumtree

Many o2 sensors have gone bad but 50% of the time when a code is set on a car about an o2 sensor there is another cause which is changing the emissions & setting the o2 code (ex. vacuum leak, bad plug, injector, it could very well be the cat etc.) The root cause of the problem must be found NOT JUST READING CODES! TAKE YOUR CAR ELSWHERE.

If it is a standard fit paper filter then you can only shake any debris off as these are only supposed to be replaced.

auto or manual take a guess auto , probably the gear selector

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.

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.

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.

Most likely you need an overhaul.

do u mean the plastic coolant tower? if so its held by 3 torx screws and u have to remove the inlet manifold for access, the thermostat housing containing the stat by 3 x 8mm headed bolts easy to get at

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.

remove rear mudflaps if fitted, remove screws from rear of wheel arch liners. two 19mm headed bolts from underside of bumper, be warned they sieze and a lot of force will destroy the bumper mounts and the bumper beam not cheap to repair.

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.

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.
