Afternoon you lot.

I've said my hellos in the n00b section,  time to get down to business. ive got a couple of questions regarding the upkeep of the ol' girl. 54 plate V6 AWD. this is my first jag so im completely unfamiliar of their quirks and common issues. 

  1. Rear Passenger Speaker doesnt work, is there a common fault with these or will i be looking to replace?
  2. At motorway speeds there's a pulsating drone, from what sounds like drivers rear, i'm suspecting its the start of a bad wheel bearing but would be nice to know of antything else i should be looking for? It's 'worse' under acceleration but 'noticeable' when on cruise control.
  3. Wing Mirror glasses. there seems to be whole myriad of different types available convex, flat, electrochromatic, ones with 'warnings' in ones without. my drivers side heater doesnt work so would be looking to replace, neither appear to be electrochromatic (even though center rearview mirror is) but don't really know what I'm looking to replace with. Would like convex, electrochromatic but without taking everything to bits, I'm a little unsure of how to check, short of emailing the dealer... is it possible to say everything fitted with <x> would have <x> mirror glass??
  4. Is there any decent aftermarket 'dealer level' diagnostics software available for Jags. (Fiat/Alfa have a program called MultiECUScan, which is phenominal, VAG have VAGCOM,  wondering if there's anything for these)
  5. Where can i find Service intervals and fluid specs of all the various drivetrain equipment, engine, g/box, transfer box etc etc, will look on Autodata a little later on but seem to remember i only have access upto 2004.

think thats it for now, other than these minor niggles i cant say as its a particularly bad motor, would like to get her back upto how nice she should be with a little time and effort.
