hi everyone,,

i just bought a 2005 XJR,, despite the mileage of 80k miles,, the car still in excellent condition,,

i really need your feedback,, opinions,, and common issues expected,,

i already have a couple of minor issues:

-park assist sometimes doesn't function
-a/c fan squeaks

thanks in advance,,

Khalid

 

When you say park assist sometimes doesn't function what happens-a continuous beep,no sound at all. Please post more detail.

 

one long beep and P button turns red,,

 

i even have more to ask:

-what should i expect from an XJR in corners? does it handle like a race car?
my car feels soapy and didn't give the confidence to try,,

-who sells OEM parts online for good prices?

-the car lightly vibrates @ 50 mph,, all tires are balanced and in good shape,, any idea?

thank you all,,

 

i just found out that the engine vibrates @ 1900 and 2900 rpm,, car on neutral,, a/c off,,

is that normal?

 

Hi. The long beep and red light indicates the park assist system has gone into fail mode. Usually a failed sensor is the cause. You can do the clicking-listening test. Switch on ignition, engage D or R. And then hold your ear close to each sensor in turn and listen for a continual clicking sound. If no sound then it's a failed sensor. The rear ones are a real pain to swap out as you need to get the bumper (fender) off. They cost approx £25 each.

Hope this helps
