Greetings All - I am new to join the forum although I have frequently read posts over the past few years as a guest when needing help. Current ride is a 2002 XJ Sport with around 70,000 Miles on the clock. Have not had any issues for the last 18 months, but all good things come to an end so several weeks ago the check engine light came on during a 1 hour drive. I cleared the code with my code reader (Innova) to see if it was a one off thing but it came back again and another code as well. The codes are;
P0443....EVAP Emission Control System Purge Control Valve
Circuit
P0446....Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Control
Circuit
Looking at other posts on the forum, it would appear that there are a number of different possible causes - purge valve, canister close valve, leaking vapor hose, faulty oxygen sensor among others. It seems like a daunting task to track down the culprit and was hoping someone has some thoughts on a reasonable way to approach this. I don't have a smoke generator to check for leaks but if this becomes necessary I will beg or borrow one.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to Jaguar Forums
Welcome Steve ... and greetings from fellow enthusiasts in Australia.
I also encourage you, as per the posted links of others, to jump over to the XJ model specific sections where there is plenty to read and absorb ... also, to visit the regional section shared by other members in your area ... and finally, to add your car details to your signature as a permanent flag to enable other members to offer accurate advice ... from Main Menu, click <User CP> then <Edit Signature>.
All that remains is to dive into the forum ... and enjoy!
Best wishes,
Ken
