Hello Check the Air Mass

check the sensor pick up ,not sure if it picks up from the abs sensor or if its on the gearbox on this model.then theirs the 4WD models .i cannot remember every car i repair because unlike the old days in the uk when their was only 4/5 makes of cars .

If you are sure the alternator is ok then the battery is dead......replace the battery!

well cobber swear at it in urdo or similar ,then order a new steering lock from uk where its cheaper like david manners.you will need to cut the old one off which is great fun,has some joker tried to nick the wheels ? give it a drop of engine oil down the hole and let it soak in and see what happens but it could have a tumbler inside the lock worn giving it the eabygibies

Test dont show basicstuf like fuelpump or ignition wear

i assume your car is auto.the switches for the only start in p and n are in the J gate and in the gearbox rotary switch, they both need to to be in sync for the car to crank and start, check the selector cable adjustment. its easy to check put lever in r and make sure the lever is PERFECTLY IN LINE WITH THE R SLOT IN THE J GATE.if not remove J gate surround and if necessary for access center console, adjust outer cable using 24mm spanner until it lines up exactly, the selector cable is also prone to stretching and going out of adjustment due to a fault in the gearbox that makes it hard to get out of park and if you force it it can damage/stretch the cable,

Sure go to your local Mac or Snap-On dealer, they will sell you one also go online to either one and read the spec sheet then go to a jobber tool sales place an buy one that is comparable

Check your Antifreeze level.

It is located passenger side kick panel, there is a hole to stick your finger in and push the button.

if its the zf auto box drain the fluid from the plug in the sump pan when empty refit plug remove level plug from rh side of gearbox. 8mm allen screw, yust above exhaust, refill with correct fluid through that hole,run engine get transmission oil temperature to between 50 - 70 degees C you need temp probe to do that or jag diagnostic gear or you can guess by feeling transmission sump pan. work the gearshift through all gears. then remove level plug allow to drain if level to high or top up if low, make sur you use the correct fluid, hope this helps

has your car got steering wheel controls for audio etc, if so check the steering wheel cassette

you will need to go at a jag dealer with your car and they will pull out the radio security code... and to be sure that it dont appen again think about investing on a memory saver next time OBD CAR COMPUTER MEMORY SAVER REPLACE BATTERY SAFE WITHOUT LOSING ECU... its about 10bucks and it gonna save you a lot of problems

the cylinder numbers are confusing early engines are rh bank (lh as you look from front) 1357, lh bank 2468, later engines rh bank 1234 lh bank 5678 at your year it could be either way round.

get someone with a code reader to check the dtc, thats the the way to go to help you sort it out,could be lots of things, common probs are air leaks in the induction system or ignition coils/spark plug issues

the adaptive damping system, adcm. is linked to the abs system. it controles the valves in the shock absorbers to make the suspension hard or soft and i think it adaptes to how you drive. you should take your car to someone with suitable diagnostic equipment to get the fault codes out of the system, the problem is more than likely one of the shock absorbers. the system defaults to hard suspension when a fault is present and puts that warning on. hope that is helpfull.

The sensor is located and probably built into the boot latch. The sensor is good because the light goes off if you close it slowly. the latch is just worn out with that particular part. Replace the latch. It is not hard to replace if you have a few hand tools.

i guess your engine had jumped valve timing due to broken plastic chain tensioners/slipper pads, common problem. are you sure you have got the valve timing right? not easy to do without the special tools. the compressions are to low they should be 165 psi minimum. you could have valve damage. if your engine had the old plastic tensioners then it is more than likeley to be one of engines with nicosil coated cylinder bores which wear out quickley. which will give low compression readings, recheck your valve timing first. you need a crankshaft timing tool which fits in place of the crankshaft position sensor on the flywheel housing and 2 camshaft locking bars to fit over the 2 camshafts on each bank.it is critical to get it right, hope this helps.
