ECU JAGUAR X308 1998 2.G Workshop Manual

Inset A, shows the angled cut-away at 25° - 35° at front edge. The front end of coachlines terminate 50mm - 60mm behind
the headlamp apertures.The two sides must be symmetrical.
The 3mm - 3.5mm wide coachline shown in Inset B, terminates with vertical face and ends 10mm - 20mm forward of tail
lamp aperture.
Inset C shows the upper edge of th e coachline positioned 6mm - 8mm be low the body side feature line.
Paint
Two-pack solid color paint can be applied. Following application of paint by hand brus h or suitable air brush, allow the paint
to dry fully before peeling away the remain ing strips of Striping Tape. The paint takes in excess of 12 hours to air dry and
fully harden, curing can however be accelerated by careful application of heat from infra-red lamps..
• NOTE: Masking tape must only be removed when the paint has hardened.
For the repair of minor damage (cuts, et c.), Paint Touch-up Pens in the colours required, are available via Jaguar Parts
Operations.

• NOTE: The above table refers to water borne paint introduced on 1998MY vehicles. This paint is identified by a four figure
number commencing with a 1. Solvent-based paint is identified by the same succeeding three figures, but this is followed by three different letters. E.G. JBC1712 JHG Westminster Blue is a water-borne paint. JBC712 JFG Westminster Blue is a
solvent-borne paint.

GLAZING
In order that the design condition of the vehicle is preserved when direct glazing repairs are carried out, it is essential that
only approved materials an d processes are employed.
Glass and Body Preparation
Betaseal HV3 System methods an d materials, are used on all Jaguar vehicles . Ease of working and extended process time
can however be gained by ensuring that the vehicle body and replacement glass are at a minimum room temperature of 20°
C prior to adhesive a pplication and fitting.
In the event of damage to the body flange finish, rectify as appropriate with the full paint refinishing process as described in
the Paint Refinishing Manual.
Adhesive Application Temperature
The specified adhesive has a high viscosity and is not easily applied at 'room te mperature' using conventional methods.
When the adhesive is applied it chills ra pidly on contact with the body and reverts to the hard condition, providing retention
strength with in minutes.
Raising the temperature of the adhesive will reduce viscosity an d speed up the flow. It is recommended that the adhesive is
pre-warmed in a heated cabinet for a mini mum of twenty minutes and applied with an extrusion gun incorporating integral
heating elements.
Adhesive Application
CAUTION: The glass will not bond to the body if the time taken to apply the adhesive and position the glass, exceeds
the stated limit.
It is recommended that the be ad of adhesive conforms to the shape and dimensions shown in the Adhesive Application

Adhesive Application

Key to Adhesive Application Drawing
Adhesive Curing
The specified adhesive cures by exposure to moisture (not by heat). Cure times may vary considerably dependent upon
ambient humidity levels. Initial 'chill off' will occur within 1 to 4 minutes ( dependent upon the application temperature and
rate of cooling), after which the screen must not be moved.
BUMPER REPAIR\RENEWAL
Bumper Description
Each bumper comprises a beam mounte d to the body via two strut assemblies and a moulded polypropylene cover
incorporating side armatures and chrome plated plastic upper trims. The front bumper cover which is moulded to form a
lower air intake for the cooling pack, also incorporates twin fog lamps, brake cooling ducts and side marker lamps or
reflectors (dependent upon market). A plastic undertray secured to the lower edge of the front bumper and the BIW
improves airflow and minimises the ingres s of road grime in that area. Standard bumpers have glass mat thermoplastic
(GMT) beams mounted on GMT struts. For certain markets, aluminium bumper beams are installed on menasco energy
absorbing struts.

lever mechanism driven by an electric motor. A sliding roof control module (SRCM) controls the motor in response to
selections made on the roof console switch , or input from the security system for automatic closing. Both the motor and the SRCM are accessed by removing the roof console.In the event of an electrical failure the sliding roof can be manually
operated. This is achieved by inserting a wide bladed screwdriver into a slot in the motor drive gear and turning clockwise to open or counter clockwise to close the sliding roof.
• NOTE: The drive gear becomes disengaged from the motor during manual operation. Before restoring electrical operation
the drive gear must be rotated one quarter turn in the reverse direction to re-engage the motor.
The SRCM is held in position by clips and has two electrical connectors in terfacing with the motor and the roof console
switch/security system. Prior to installing a new SRCM, the sun ro of must be in a neutral closed position. This provides the
SRCM with a sliding roof datum, to ensure accurate and consistent operation. Obstacle sensin g operates on closing in the
slide mode only. If the sliding roof lid encounters an ob struction between 4mm and 200mm from the closed position, the
SRCM detects increased motor load and reve rses the motor, driving the sliding roof to the fully open position. The sliding
roof lid surround seal has a metal inner sect ion which will deform on removal. If removed, this seal must be discarded and a
new seal must be installed on the lid using a Jaguar approved crimping tool.
