What did you do to your X308 Today?
so its pretty self-explanatory post what you did to your X308 today
|
got a E-01 for my Compact Disc Changer, so the prying and lifting didnt work, so i decided to take the whole unit apart, and mission successful, even though i know its going to eventually get stuck again:icon_badrazz:

The #1 thing to do after a snow storm - I left it in the garage.

Changed all the light bulbs to Xenon and boy what a difference in night vision. Great bulbs and cheap and easy to replace.

Sprayed rear suspension arms in black, sat the the bottoms of rear shocks in my homemade electrolyte bath for de-rusting ready for paint and new bushes (awaiting delivery)....degreased tiebars, A-frame, driveshafts and hubs ready for de-rusting and paint, then had a cup of tea....tried to find a local electro-plating shop for my bolts but gave up - will paint them instead...

I was thinking 'what size bath has this guy got', until I realised you'd taken them off first. :icon_lol:
Graham Just using a household 8 gallon black plastic bin. Not sure whether to spray the shocks in green as original, or black (which is effectively free as I have black paint....) What do you all think? |

ok so funny thing, during my cruise, i kept smelling something funny in the car dont know if it was through the air vents or something else then i figured i should stop by my local auto parts store and clear my Random Misfire Code, P0300 start up my car no CEL im happy, throw her in reverse, stalls :icon_shrug: dont know what happened start her back up, she gets close to stalling but i let off the brake and continue with my reversing driving along then Restricted Performance appears:confused: now im confused, i continue driving along then experience a really rough shift dont know what gear maybe into 4th Restricted Performance goes away all im thinking is why do i now have a mysterious Gremlin? Drive home continued normal from that point on should i be worried? or is there a potential problem? |

I've often wondered why Jaguar paint the shocks green. It's a soft paint and doesn't stand up anywhere near as well as black. Never yet seen shocks without rust on them.

Drive home continued normal from that point on should i be worried? or is there a potential problem? I use 7 different scan tools depending on the make and year. I also have a code reader to quickly read or clear codes. It sometimes does wierd things on some makes. Usually on european cars. Thankfully, it's always been temporary. |
