Hi skinnypuppy_22,

What year and model are you asking about? The answer varies depending on the car. If you will use your User Control Panel to add this information to your signature line, others won't have to ask in order to provide accurate responses.

If you are asking about an X308, there are Zerk fittings/grease nipples on the halfshaft U-joints (two per side), but the driveshaft has rubber flexible couplings at both ends so no grease fittings.

Cheers,

Don

The driveshaft has rubber flex couplings at the ends, but also a U-joint in the middle (next to the center bearing). As far as I know, there is no grease fitting on this U-joint.

Wait: Samil is talking about the main drive shaft. There are Zerk (grease) fittings on the output shafts between the dif and wheels. Best to use a lift.

Be useful to know where you are located. If the vin is the same as my last X308, sold in April 2016, the zerks were greased in 2013 and 2015,

Default How to Enter Profile & Signature Info in User Control Panel

Hi skinnypuppy_22,

Just above the title of this thread you will see a black bar containing ten menu options, with "User CP" at the left end.

Click on User CP to go to your User Control Panel.

In the left column, under Settings & Options, click Edit Signature.

Near the top of the next page is a Preview of what your signature currently looks like. Scroll down to the Edit Signature window.

In the Edit Signature window, add the year, model, engine and mileage of your Jaguar, and any other details you'd like to share.

Once you have added the information and double-checked it for accuracy, scroll down farther and click on Save Signature.

To edit your location, on that same User Control Panel, click on Edit Your Details in the left column under Your Details.

Enter the appropriate details in any of the available fields (you can complete only theCountry of Residence and Location fields if you don't want to complete any of the other fields).

Once you've proof-read your entry to confirm its accuracy, scroll down and click on Save Changes.

That's it!

Cheers,

Don

Hmmm I do not see the black bar about this thread.. Maybe it's because I'm on a mobile device??
