I bought the 1999 convert for my wife with 59000 miles. We are getting a "restricted performance" message that comes and goes along with the amber engine light. The performance is definitely restricted when the message appears. I plan to have the system evaluated to see if I can determine the cause. Any suggestions?

We also appear to have a hydraulic leak in the convert roof latch area, occasional drops of fluid not a steady stream.

Actually norri, the second this week. I would be the third if I am not mistaken.

Welcome to the forums gkirkland.

Have you gotten the codes read? If not I maybe able to help with that. I am located near Pleasant and Gold Hill, let me know.

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com. I know that you are anxious to get started and we are anxious to meet you and talk about your car. We have a baseline / criteria that must be met before full access can be granted. Please enjoy the forum and be patient once the baseline has been satisfied full access will be granted. Please continue to post and accept my welcome to the forum.

If you haven’t already you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for. To do this go to, User CP, Edit Signature, Add Vehicle Details and such and Save Your Signature.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

Also, should you have questions related to your vehicle please post it in the section for your model year (MY) car. This way you will reach all the members that are familiar with your MY car.
