Hello to all, this is the 1st time I have ever joined a Forum. So yup I'm a rookie. So here goes. I said I am a new Jag owner, that means new to me. I bought a 2003 X type 2.5 with 146,000 . It had a check engine light. Took it to a local garage (national chain) and it showed all 4 O2 sensors. The guy I bought the car from did put on aftermarket catalytic converter's on it and that's when engine light came on and he never had them cleared. My garage cleared codes. A mile later liht came back on and it showed bank 1 upstream & bank 2 downstream. Then A battery light came on and the positive cable was scorching hot. I read the forum and it was suggested to change cables. When assesing how cables were attached i noticed a small (2 wire) cable coming out of the positive cable that connects to the fuse box, this small wire is not pluged into anything. I'm hoping someone can tell me what it for and where it goes, and also could the aftermarket converters cause the O2 sensor fault. I am showin 22 mpg's in town only drivin. Thanks in advance for any help. And just in case anyone's wandering. Yes, I look just like Mr Clean. You see a bottle you see me...

Hello everyone,
Just bought a 2003 X Type 2.5 with 146,000. It has a couple issues but nothing that can't be taken care of with the help from everyone on this forum. Car is near showroom condition. I live in South Florida.

 

Welcome to the forum

 

It certainly sounds like your car needs some TLC! Not surprising at 146,000 miles. Doubtless our X-type section can help you with all those codes.
