Hi Wesley, might I suggest you list your registration for sale in the Jaguar Marketplace section of the Forum, look further down the list of Sections and you will find the right place. Listing the registration in the XF section is not the place where folks looking to buy stuff are going to go to first. Plus, one more post in the XF section and your post disappears off the top spot, never to be seen again. Just a suggestion. N6 JMX

I have on retention the plate X25OXF or X250 XF if you wished to space it so. i purchased this direct from DVLA about 17 years ago. It’s for sale so judging whether there is some interest out there. The plate is for sale at £1500. Thanks Wes

Hi Retsof, be very careful with these plug in updates - they have in the past caused significant issues with the control system in Jaguars. N6 JMX

Thanks John, should have a chance to get to it this weekend, it's running fine at the moment. annoyingly. At least if it just broke I could fix it.

I bought this usb update on line from UK-Navi-Expert, purchased through Evri and on plugging it in, requires a login code. AMA devised I should send my VIN number to the manufacturer to get the code. Unable to get through to UK-Navi-Expert@ gmail.com maybe there is a standard code for this? Anyone have any ideas, or a better contact address for the manufacturer?

Hi Andy, given that the headlining of a convertible is not affixed to a board, but more akin to a tent, it might be possible to have a decent upholsterer make you a new headlining using the old one as a template. You could then make it in Alcantara or other exotic material as you desire. For the A-pillars and top rail, there was an article in the March 2021 issue of the JEC magazine regarding recovering these with a faux leather purchased from eBay. If you don't have access to the back copies of the magazine - they are available online digitally for JEC members - drop me a PM with your email address and I will see if I can forward you a copy.

Hi All, I’m new to the group and to Jaguar ownership.. I’ve recently bought a 1997 Jaguar XK8 convertible with a few bits that need doing. Thanks to the information on this forum I’ve just replaced a leaking roof lifting ram and got the hood working again. Unfortunately, it has had some mice in it whilst it’s been stored over recent months by the previous owner who have had a good munch on the headlining.. thankfully, they haven’t touched the actual hood and, having had the back seats etc out today, it doesn’t look like they’ve got to any wiring at all. I am in need of a new headlining and I’d like to do the A posts and bit above the windscreen at the same time, I also need a tonneau cover as it’s been lost. Ive looked through the chats on here but haven’t been able to find any recommendations for the headliners or tonneau that have come to anything. Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

Hi Fraser, to be clear you should highlight you are looking for an "original S-type" from 1963 - 1968 as opposed to the Modern S-type from 1999 - 2007. N6 JMX

My friend’s parents wedding car was a S type, for their 50th wedding anniversary they’d love to be taken to their celebration in the same model. They live in Nottingham. Could anyone help?

Our 2008 3.0 S-Type (VIN N84369) needs a new coolant temperature sensor, but I can't figure out where it is. The official shop manual is no help; the diagrams are worthless. Can anyone tell me where the sensor is located? Thank you!
