My neighbour has a 1960s 3.4 Jaguar which his mother bought new it's simply stunning in red with chrome wire wheels, that's the only Jaguar I'd love to own, the modern versions just don't hit the spot.

I'm guessing you are in the polishing brigade?

I prefer the modern stuff. If I had a mint classic laden with chrome, I'd never use it, making it just an ornament.

3.2 manifolds will slightly improve power, as they are less restrictive.  You will still need to mount the EGR, so keep the 3.0 plenum and keep the EGR plugged in, just make sure it's blanked.  Can't remember how much (5mm?) but the 3.0l downpipes need a bit chopped off to fit 3.2 manifolds.

But if you want to keep the 3.0 manifolds, yes, they can be plugged anywhere.

On further reflection, shouldn't the rear fan kick in and out from slow to fast speed as the radiator gets hotter and cooler? It seems that once it goes on to fast at the moment it stays there, I don't think this is right.

On the V6 - and 2.2 will be broadly similar, except less fans - the slow speed fan comes on at just over mid-point on the gauge (so around 96C on prefacelifts, and 87C on facelifts - the temps are actually the same if measured, but the gauge markings on the FL are lower for reasons only GM knows).

The high speed fan comes on as the needle approaches the upper marking on the gauge - so around 98/99C on PFL, and 88C on FL.  It's rare to hit these conditions except in hot weather after a run.


(All assuming A/C off, if on, obviously the slow fans come on anyway)

Ot probably only reads the oil level when cold. Once running/hot the level will be very different.

Iirc it only showed on my 335d when certain conditions were met (warm, parked on level ground, something, something else). As VXL V6 mentioned, dipstick is better

Oil Level is shown on the Idrive and there is also a dipstick on the N57 engine - red on the N/S of the block at the rear.

It's the tiniest solution but not the only one

That would depend on the radiator temps. The system is set up to run the fans as required as long as there's a charge in the battery. Hence the warning sticker on the slam panel

Think there's a guide in the FAQs and if you're any good with a wiring diagram, the one in Haynes will give a reasonable insight into which bit does what The MFL(later models) 2.0 16v and ECC should give you an idea

*Haven't worked out how to reset the trip yet. 

Has it got the button under the fuel gauge on the dash or BC on the left hand stork. I seem to recall that the F10 had the dash button. Incidentally, if it does have the button to reset the trip, you can press and hold it to show other information. You can also use that button to unlock other menus to show any error codes stored.

I found this one thanks! 

It shows the basic vehicle status as well, as found with the rotary knob, apart from the oil level (even when engine running) for some reason.
