Hi everyone I am Richard and have just got a 2006 S-Type 2.7 Diesel. Wasn't a planned buy but the owner was desperate to get shut of it as it has faults and he'd got sick of throwing money at it, and his local garages wouldn't touch it so he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I'm an extremely enthusiastic amateur mechanic with, even if I say so myself a pretty good setup and the tools and equipment to do most tasks and am also used to completely stripping and rebuilding cars so I figured I'd give it a go. Plus as a UK national living in the Black Forest in Germany I felt somewhat honour bound to try to rescue the poor thing ;0) I usually work on older cars but actually work in software for a large auto manufacturer so figured it would also be a good opportunity to get to work on something more modern than usual.

Cheers mate..i'll check it out. Scott.

could be a sensorthe most likely culprit is a faulty washer fluid level sensor. This sensor, located within the washer fluid reservoir, may be malfunctioning and sending an incorrect signal to the dashboard. To resolve this, you'll need to have the sensor tested and replaced if necessary. or thermostat related

So I thought I would use this as a journal of my new journey in the Jaaaaag. She is nothing short of a masterpiece, I’ve never driven anything like it, the engine is quiet but deadly, great mpg, everything works (mostly) and I’m very impressed. now for the mostly part. when I bought it I knew the air suspension fault was on there, luckily someone at work has a diagnostic tool and found it was the plausibility issue c2303 which should be the compressor. The ride heights are good in all corners although she will be sat for a few days now so hopefully will still be the case. Yesterday my key fob wouldn’t open the car and the alarm went off, didn’t know you start the car straight away to make sure it doesn’t, I only have 1 key. I took the fob to timpsons to have another battery put in, but the fob is corroded and probably glued in to keep it together, so it couldn’t be done. I have bought another shell with new fob, I’m thinking that I can programme the new fob which I read how to do, and move the key and chip onto the new shell. any ideas if that wouldn’t work, the chip and key are together on the top half of the key, so transplanting it onto the new shell should work. apart from those so far so good, the wife finally likes it but still thinks I’m having my mid life crisis.

Hi Vinny, there are currently 9 Mk2 variants listed for sale in another classic Jaguar Forum site, follow the link below: jec.org.uk/classifieds/index.php?page=cars-for-sale&category=1594 N6 JMX

You do know that you have posted these items for sale in a Jaguar General tab, which is a bit strange since there is a "Jaguar Marketplace" section further down the Forum. One more post in the General section and your post disappears from the headline view and I doubt anyone is going to look in a General tab for any items that might be for sale. Suggest you repost in the Marketplace section, where people would look. N6 JMX

ITEM IS NOW SOLD!

I put a new shifter box in The only way I can take the vehicle out of park is by hitting the silver button, I don’t know what it’s called but I have pictures for reference Refer to pic number 1 Then when I first took the console apart I realized that a sensor was unplugged which I believe could be the initial problem to why I can’t go into other gears without the silver button, is this supposed to hook up anywhere? Refer to pic number 2 I tried basic things like unplugging and plugging the battery, unplugging the dsc fuse and plugging it back in to maybe reset it after putting the new shifter in. All I know is I got back in my car and as I noticed the DSC system fault, ever since it wouldn’t let me shift gears. Any suggestions?

I’m interested in the same. Did you get this to work?

Transportation

Hi Martin, welcome to the club. My XKR is 15 years old, 60,000 miles and still under the Jaguar manufacturers warranty. Only thing you know for certain is that a failure to renew at the annual subscription will guarantee a big bill, which in hindsight could just as easily have been covered by squirreling away the annual premium for the warranty package into a savings account.

I'm paying £1200 pa for above on a 2017 XFS diesel, current mileage 53,000 and I only now do about 3-4,000 mls a year, not sure whether or not to continue the guarantee, (I paid £1500 to a main dealer last year to replace the timing belt, which they had to be done at 7 years)
