Answer
Hi Bela,

Sorry, but I can't help, as I have no experience on Diesel engines and never even seen a Diesel Jaguar as all my years working in Jaguar dealerships was in the US.

Hopefully someone reading this who knows Jaguar Diesels will contact this Internet program and offer some assistance.

If all else fails, I believe any good diesel mechanic should be able to diagnose the problem even if they are not familuar with Jaguars. Any needed parts should be available from the Internet.
