    I think Mk II Jaguars are 1960's not 1950's. Nice car

    Camera / photography question

    Just putting my tuppence worth in. I see the new Leica Q3 is 63MP or something like that. This is a fixed focal length lens camera, so any telephoto type work requires cropping. Standard focal length is 28mm, so if you want to use its digital zoom at 90mm you have effectively a 6MP camera...

    Gearbox/Engine light issue - 2004 4200 CC

    The pump was replaced less than 20,000 km ago. I wish I could have got a relay for a tenner. The cheapest I could find was $22 USD and shipping was another $28.

    Gearbox/Engine light issue - 2004 4200 CC

    I've ordered a new relay as a precaution, which I should have by next Friday. I'll run the car over the weekend and see how it goes - hopefully no repeats, but I have spare fuses if necessary.

    Gearbox/Engine light issue - 2004 4200 CC

    A good point, though the relay checked out fine. I haven't driven it yet, but just thinking about it, though the pump primed and went off normally, I thought the pitch was a bit lower that I recall it being. This maybe points to the motor on the pump being at fault. Time will tell I guess. I...

    Gearbox/Engine light issue - 2004 4200 CC

    Well I changed the fuse and it all appears to be working fine. Pump times seem normal and gear selection seems fine. I ran the engine up and no issues. I bought a few spare fuses, so I'll just have to drive it and see. There must be a reason why the fuse blew, but at this stage nothing obvious.

    Gearbox/Engine light issue - 2004 4200 CC

    Hi Mike, Thanks for the advice about unscrewing the bracket it certainly made access much easier, once I'd managed to unscrew it. So the obvious issue is that the 30A fuse has blown. I haven't tested the relay yet but suspect it will be fine (not sure which contacts to use really). Anyone...

    Gearbox/Engine light issue - 2004 4200 CC

    Thanks for the quick response. Do they have clips holding them or is it a straight pull off? It's very hard to see up in there. Hoping its not the pump and just a relay or fuse. It was working fine earlier. I just checked and my lost truck trip home was two years ago - how time flies..

    Gearbox/Engine light issue - 2004 4200 CC

    While out driving on Saturday, I pulled into a parking lot and then wasn't able to select any gear. We pushed the car to the kerb with the engine running and shut off the engine. Now the dash shows an engine light and a transmission light and the car won't start. I notice that the pump isn't...

    Tyre recommendations

    Yes, I've been very happy with my Michelin Pilot Sport 4's too.

    Location of ODB connector on a 4200 CC

    Thanks everyone. I had another good look and managed to find it. It's hidden away, below and to the right of the steering wheel - as Fifty said up from the accelerator pedal. I found it by touch.

    Location of ODB connector on a 4200 CC

    Hi all. My car is going fine but threw an engine light this morning. Now I'm sure I've plugged in an ODB port reader before, but can't find now where I plugged it in. I've searched everyhere online, but I've drawn a blank. It always says below the steering wheel, or to the left, but I've...
