Thanks all and apologies for slow reply, I must not have settings correct on here to notify me of responses!

Here it is!

Yes the car definitely has the little circles at the front, but it’s as if the car doesn’t recognise them, only the rear, and the message when the rear ones automatically come on only mentions rear sensors.
I’m not sure where to find the build sheet? Is this something I can order from Jaguar? Didn’t come with the car.
Anyway, the supplying dealer is going to rectify the sensor issue so will find out what the problem is when this has been done. Thanks for the comments!

Looks good! Ask the dealer for a copy of the TOPIx Vehicle Summary.

So the saga of the front parking sensors continues - they supplying used car dealer (not JLR) has said that the sensors on the front bumper must be aftermarket ones added on, and they have stopped working - but there is no sign of an extra button in the cabin, and the sensors in the front bumper look like original ones, they have certainly not been stuck on and they are in the correct place.
I have logged on to the ToPix thing to have a look for the original spec of the car but can’t find any documents for the factory spec of the car. Any thoughts on how to access this? Wonder if my local jag dealer would be friendly enough to supply this despite me not buying it from them..?

Any thoughts?

Speak to your local Jag dealer, it’s fairly straightforward for them to enter your VIN into TOPix and print off or download a pdf of the factory build sheet. It can’t harm to ask, the worst that can happen is they say ‘no’!

Congratulations on your new acquisition, beautiful car 😍

You can see your factory fitted rear sensors. Either Castle Brom forgot to fit the front ones or your supplying garage are fobbing you off. Tough one to judge...

Not sure a main dealer would get involved unless you booked it in for repair.

Are the front circles on the outside area of the front or all across? If just the outside likely Lane Keep Assist sensor rather than parking sensor.

Good morning JFtype,

Thank you for your post.

Should you wish for me to investigate the specification of your vehicle please send me a PM with your VIN and your contact details and I would be happy to assist you further.

Thanks, Dan - Jaguar UK
