jaguar x type diesel - unknown - Jimbo9

I have a jag x type 05 which has recently been dying whilst driving, then picking up again.

It died completely today however after 10 minutes approx it started but would not rev then died again

I think the obvious thing is fuel related but wondered if anyone had experienced this before

For anyone looking to assist the OP, this is most likely a Ford 2.0 diesel.

My first thoughts would be fuel filter, EGR valve, MAF filter - in that order.

However, I'd expect a diagnostic would show up fault codes and help narrow it down, so that would probably be a better idea than throwing random new parts at the problem.

A friend of mine has Jaguar X Type 2.0 L diesel and had problems something like those described. Took the car to a Jaguar specialist who couldn't find anything wrong. So they contacted Jaguar who informed them that there was a software update which would solve the problem.

It did!
