It needs an egr valve on it, get one from a jag dealer there cheaper

They can go at anytime and cannot be cleaned like the vac operated ones as there are electric on the euro 4 engines (these seize and strip the gears in side)

I got mine from this jag main dealer excellent service

I can't stress enough how important it is to document ALL your communications.

It may be worth recording your phone conversations - but make sure you tell him you're recording them.

But would the EGR cause the glow plug light to come on ? i'm thinking injectors . apparatly the garage cleaned the EGR last time. I s there a way to check if its faulty

gazza2502

just to add , the car starts 1st turn off the key & does not put any smoke out of the exhaust.

To be fair, I wouldn't worry about it. It's up to them to fix it, you shouldn't be expected to even pay Ł147 at a guess from ebay.

Hopefully by 12 noon it'll be somewhere near sorted

Well got no reply again , so time to set the ball rolling with trading standards . I have green flag breakdown cover , do you think it will be worth calling them out to diagnose the problem ?

T.E.D. Jordan

auto sparx up at Kingstown would diagnose it fairly cheap for you I would imagine.

If you have it use it if its going to cost you nothing. Out of interest what did you pay for it? As said in a previous post a garage selling a 100k mondy hmmmm

gazza2502

Ł 1700 looked at a few 07 ones at less money but they had no service history

Fordmad!

Id get the car diagnosed just to see whats wrong and just press on with legal proceedings all you can do really

gazza2502

Will Green Flag be able to diagnose it outside my house ?

Fordmad!

If youve got home cover they should do just say you went to it in the morning and it wont start

You need to be careful about letting any other garage diagnose, or work on the car. The supplying dealer has to be given a chance to rectify the issue first before ANYONE else does. You won't have a case if you let anyone else work on it. What's actually wrong with it isn't really your concern - it's the dealer's responsibility.

Have you got any proper legal advice yet?

gazza2502

Yes got it all logged with trading standards, just got to fill in the template letters & send them off . The dealer then has 14 days to reply. Then small claims court.

Went to my dads tonight & put the car in his garage to have a look , there are puddles of diesel on top of 2 injectors . Could this be the leak off pipes letting air into the fueling system ? & by the way everyone thanks for your help
