Thanks Mark, I hadn't considered the units 'going to sleep' when not moving, makes perfect sense though! I'll probably get them done for the sake of completeness, not a big outlay at the side of £700+ on a set of tyres!

.....
 (a similar PUCH one was used on Cav and Calibra 4x4s).  ....

And look how successful they were .... 

They were superb if looked after, needed 50k mile oil changes, matched tread depths, and accumulators changing occasionally. Of course, most didn't bother!

Well-maintained units would do 200k miles with no issues, no different to the Haldex and slipper systems of today 

I just remember that in the day, loads of 4x4 drove around in 2 wheel drive .... they pulled a fuse somewhere

That seems extremely good value! Were these from JLR direct, or an eGay find?  EDIT: a quick look online seems to indicate they are the same part number as for XJ 2010 on - LR070840

T'was Gay of E.  I'd need to cross ref the part numbers, as LR is Landrover, JDE is Jaguar, and C2D is part of the long term plan to align part numbers and prices (LR were always cheaper...   ...but fear not, LR prices are rising to match Jag, not the other way round, bastids).

I expect the later XJ ones are different, as the system reports tyre pressures.  Mine just alerts if one is 25% less than it should be, or something like that.


As far as I can work out, mine are original, so coming up to 13yrs old if fitted at factory, or about 12yrs old if fitted at PDI.  Mileage wise, not quite 150k - It turned over 147k at precisely the time I was waving to that Grand Tour come Farmer geezer in his L322...   ...I might have been a bit distracted looking at the dash, and not at him pulling out

Actually, probably is same sensor, as her car takes the same ones, and that does display actual pressures.  Listed for my Jags as part C2D47173

Can't you just search for the Ford part numbers...

Can't you just search for the Ford part numbers... 

Leftover electronic parts from the Ford era tend to have FoMoCo logos on the back, these don't.  TBH, even on my 2010 car, there is little that has FoMoCo stuff...    ...in fact, only seen it on the IAM.


JLR do seem to drop stuff from the previous owner's part bins quite quickly. Look how quickly they dumped the dreadfully unreliable 7 series electrics from the L322...

Does the FType still use the Ford V6?

I think you might mean do Ford still use the pre-Ford Jaguar design .  But no idea or interest if the current 3l petrol V6 is still derived from that, or a new design

Ignoring the outrageous price, they look different to the ones in mine.

Just paid £45 for a 2nd set  of 4 to use as spares, now that DTM has scared me into thinking mine are about to expire

[Viral_Jim]

Thanks TB, reassuring that mine probably have a bit of life left in them! Although given the state of price inflation ATM, I may pick a set up as spares 🤣

PM me reg, and I'll look up all possible current and superseded part numbers for yours tomorrow (y), if that nice Mr DTM fella doesn't beat me to it

[TheBoy]

I imagine the later systems fitted will be broadly similar.  But if nobody knows, PM me the reg, and I'll try to take a gander on TOPix...   ...although I'm away for a few days in some miserable place in Suffolk, so might not be prompt to respond

The sun always shines in Suffolk. 

ronnyd, I was the wrong side of the Orwell.  I did catch some sunshine before I crossed over - https://youtu.be/eIwIu16Skq4

But all the time I was East of the Orwell, this was the best sun I got - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNZ7TwZLkfg

Thanks for the links TB. Nice to see places where i walk when i go to Felixstowe or Woodbridge. Great views along Orwell to Pln Mill with the Trinity terminal at Felixstowe in the distance. Also along to Woodbridge and the Tide Mill, then back to Adastral Park at Martlesham.

ronnyd, if you regularly cross over the Orwell (and clearly you do being able to point out the landmarks), can you just count you only have 5 fingers per hand?
