When you're in fifth gear and lets say you hit the gas to pass a vehicle for instance your automatic transmission has a detent or a kickdown function which will lower it down a gear to give it more torque/hp for that range in order to pass. I would say that function is at fault. There are 2 ways this functions either by electrical or mechanical means.(mech. which would have a detent cable similar to shift linkage) yours is electrical. You would need to get this checked at a local transmission shop ask for an estimate first, since it's not slipping it won't be too bad. Avoid jaguar dealer at all costs they will screw you royally (I'm a jag owner and do my own repairs for that reason)
It must be extremely tight or cross threaded. try spraying some penetrating oil into the threads and leaving it for a while, then apply a lot of torque and try turn it off. You may have to replace the tank if the treads are damaged.
I purchased very similar here in the UK £4800 (trade) two years ago, only problem so far has been O2 sensor failure which I replaced myself but was still fairly expensive. Other than that car has been good. Check for Jag service history
follow the breather plastic hose probably blck in color and it should go back close to the right hand side headlight. There will be asort of box it connects to and you will need to remove 4 screws i believe. Under that is the breather. Thats where I find it on most vehicles so please know I am guessing here and leave me a good mark for trying. Thanks, Raz
White smoke is indicative of water (or coolant) evaporating in the heat put out by your motor. The good news is that it stops. The likely cause is condensation that formed over night is burning off.
So, riddle me this:
Do you experience loss of power? Coolant levels inexplicably getting lower? White froth on the dipstick? Oil in the coolant?
If not, there's probably nothing to worry about. But let's err on the side of caution. Have a compression test done on all cylinders. This is the easiest, cheapest and fastest way to tell if a head gasket has failed.
