Smile Biting the bullet...

Hi guys,

I'm Des,

I spent 20 years as steel fabricator/Welder, but after looking round the workshop and seeing no-one over 55 I decided to go back to school and get a BSc in Computer Science, now happily working hands on in a support role, I always had a big interest in mechanical work, kept it as a hobby though so I didn't kill the interest. That leads be to my car I have had my 2014 XF for about 3 years. We have had our fair share of issues but I still love her, when I grow up I want an XJ.

so far issues include:

EGR dying - mapped out.
No battery retaining bracket, cost me 3 batteries within a year causing multiple electrical issues including the BCM loosing the VIN !!! - £10 retaining bracket fixed the root cause.
Now there is a boost pressure issue.

I have posted on a thread and I hope someone can help, so far I have replaced the MAF, MAP and turbo actuator and the results are the same.

Any Questions? drop me a message.

Welcome to the forums Des,

Good to have you with us.

I can see you've already found your way to the X250 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. You can also use the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
