Jaguar XFR Door Lock fix

If you want to change door cards, replace parts of the door lock, the window or the window mechanism, this might help. It's not a step by step job, and tbh, it hacked me right off, but the locks are now sorted.

My partner bought a 2012 XFR Supercharger (aka “the Diva”) to use for Track Days here in the U.S. Most folks don’t expect to see a full-size, 4-door Jaguar sedan on track, but there is nothing like hearing her “purr” when she gets to around 200 kph. 🐾 ☺️ 🏁 She’s part of the family, and we love her dearly. ❤☺️

    • @turnerscarsUK

      Sorry I've only just got round to reply, if you mean the cable to the handle, it's a faff. It has to be pushed in hard, then not moved too much as you put the door back on. I used a bit of gaffer tape to assist too. I hope you got sorted.

    I bought my 2014 xfr 2.5 years ago with 55k on it for £28k, it's hands down the best car I've ever had. Why did I buy it? I've had subarus the last 10 years and needed to scratch the V8 itch. An f10 m5 was on the cards however it felt dull in comparison to the xfr. The xfr has so much character. M5 are great cars however what's cooler than daily driving a supercharged V8, it's the uk's own muscle car. Mine has been totally reliable with only regular maintenance needed. It runs out of approved warranty in 6 months so then I will be having it tuned to 600bhp with a remap & smaller pulley on the supercharger. I no longer daily it as I want to keep the miles down on it,it's currently sitting @ 64k. Absolutely 💯 you should experience an xfr. Fantastic cars 💪 💪 💪

I did buy an extended aftermarket warranty which covered every single thing so remember if you get one of these cars you have to get an extended aftermarket warranty to cover all your parts your suspension your electronics and your engine in your supercharger also the bubbling of the dashboard that's an easy fix go get a heat gun make little holes with a pin. Run the heat gun over the bubbles and press it down with a rag and it goes away.. you should do it every couple of months and also tint your windshield it'll help protect the dash

      Wowsers, that seems really high! I'd have thought a used better condition one would be cheaper? Mine is a 2010.

      @@turnerscarsUK A used one is hard to find. I did find one on eBay for like $900.00 plus $1000.00 to install.

    I've got this fun job to do in the spring. Got an advisory on MOT on Wed, passed though.

      Great news about the pass! The work itself isn't too difficult, just time consuming 👍

    I have a 2010 XFR and for the suspension all my bushings were shot on the A arms and links so all had been replaced. world of difference. also check out the trans mount bushing/bracket. another offender.

    Jaguar spent millions of quid developing their car to reach the best MPG it could manage with 550BHP. Screw with the exhaust and/or intakes and you'll get worse performance, lousy MPG, and your car will sound like a bag of nails. Before you screw around with anything MAFF related, have you changed the plugs, checked the HT leads and had a full service including air filters etc. and run a proper diagnostic check? Turbochargers are more efficient than superchargers because they use the wasted energy from the engines exhaust cycle to drive a compressor. The extra performance is largely free. Superchargers are mechanically driven from the engine so use energy directly from the engine to drive themselves. The instant response is a consequence of burning fuel to drive the compressor ergo, higher fuel consumption. I really don't get the obsession of people wanting to hear a loud exhaust note inside a luxury car. It just doesn't make sense other than narcissistic compulsion. Apart from anything else it's a red flag to plod that a car has been modified, which invariably invalidates the insurance, and they get a gold star for nicking someone who is happy to advertise they are really dumb. Your car looks like it's been in a minor shunt and badly repaired/resprayed by someone with a paint can. It also looks like your car has tracking/wheel balancing/alignment problems probably influenced by crumbling rubber bushes. Nobody mentions this but the first things to cause trouble on older cars are the electrics, swiftly followed by rubber components. A well cared for engine will run forever but rubber bushes/hoses etc. deteriorate badly and are invariably ignored. Most electrical problems can be solved with a new battery and alternator. No point in doing one or the other, change both of them, as well as any (surprise surprise) rubber belt drives. I have worked on cars and bikes for the last 50 years, modding them in the early days when insurance companies didn't care, and the two biggest problems of all are lousy batteries and alternators, and rubber components of all description. The difference is, a car dies temporarily from electrical problems, it dies permanently with rubber problems. If an alternator dies at 70MPH the car slowly grinds to a halt. If a rubber coolant hose or worse, oil hose, ruptures at 70MPH the engine grenades itself. There is no such thing as a cheap performance car.
