  1. Hi fellow Jaguar owners, I have a question to ask you knowledgeable people when it comes to all matters Jaguar. My S type 2.7D Auto has recently developed a slight whine type noise when pressing the accelerator pedal. This stops whenever I lift my foot off the pedal. Any ideas as to what might be going on? A possible leaking air hose has been suggested to me as a possible cause. All assistance gratefully welcomed, regards Graham
  2. Hi Dan That's very helpful of you. If I decide to go with I'll be in touch Regards, Graham
  3. Hi Paul Thanks for your input, it has been helpful and has given me food for thought Regards Graham
  4. Hi fellow Jaguar owners. I have question about remapping. I am thinking of having my 2007 S-Type 2.7D remapped. This will increase the bhp and torque settings but more importantly will improve fuel consumption rates and apparently reduce CO2 emissisions. There seems to be a debate as to whether I have to notify my insurers of the modification. I am led to believe that some insurers will not insure a remapped car, would that be true? If my insurers are one of those who will not, do any of you know of one that will? I also own a 1998 4.0 V8 XJ8 an would welcome any advice about insuring both cars.

  6. Hi fellow Jaguar owners. I have just taken delivery of a 2007 S Type 2.7D which makes 2 Jags I now own. (no references to John Prescott please). I also need to update the sat nav as this has not been done since 2012. I have tried the link suggested but this does not seem to up and running now. All I am getting is an offer to purchase the domain. Can anybody suggest another source for the update please?
  7. Hi fellow Jag owners. I am considering by a second Jaguar my XJ8 to replace my aging daily car. I am looking at a 2004 petrol automatic S type. Are there any pitfulls with this model that I should be aware of?
  8. Thanks guys for your input. I'll make some enquiries locally Regards Graham
  9. Hi, I am in the same boat with no spare key for my recent purchase of the XJ8. My local Jaguar agent have quoted me around £300 to get a spare and code it to the car. Is that about right or are there cheaper options available? I also do not like not having a backup key. Regards Graham
  10. Whilst being biased I have to admit I've seen a few owners giving the rest of us a bad name. Perhaps they have forgotten that they are driving a Jag and think they are driving a BMW. I will however remain the most courteous of drivers in order to maintain standards (until some numpty cuts me up or does something really stupid around me) Regards Graham
  11. Hi Peter That was one of the products I was looking at. I can see from your photo that the seats are in excellent condition, I will buy some and give my seats the treat they deserve. Many thanks for steering me in the right direction. Best regards, Graham
  12. Hi everybody Can anyone please advise what is the best treatment to use on my leather seats in my XJ8? They are actually in tip top condition and I want to keep them in that condition. There are so many products on the market and I don't want to make the wrong choice. Best regards Graham
  13. Hi Peter

    Managed to download a driver's handbook for my XJ8 but it's for the U.S.  and Canada. Still I don't suppose it's much different they have everything on the wrong side of the car. They have to be different :)

      Once you get used to the language and the measurements the language is OK.

      Much better than Chinese.

      Peter.

  14. Hi Joe Thanks for your info, simular to my own investigations. Makes your wonder if installing one is worth the trouble and expense. You're right that insurance companies won't give any discounts. Maybe I won't bother. Thanks again, best regards Graham
