i'm afraid not.. even with the bonnet fully up i could lift the blades only 6 inches.. they will not lift up anymore even when clearing the bonnet.... but with the diagram you will see they are designed so you dont have to take the arm off.

i was right

oh.. yeah its definitely broken then  

The sensor i think sits in front of the radiator... i will check

i like watching the police programs and quite often they are sent on the chase of a car fitted with a tracker and they always find the car.

Only thing is, if its stolen for fun then you can guarantee it will be caned to death and then dumped. If they find it then you are left with a car with damage and you will either foot the bill fixing it or lose your no claims and high premiums fixing it through the insurance,.. written off or not

So, if it gets stolen, then a claim will probably be the case anyway. you could be extremely lucky and it is pristine when found.

I personally would not bother, let the insurance company pay out and get another car, at the same time save a load of money not having the tracker installed.

Just my opinion :)

are you sure its not the wrong setting and not Fahrenheit?

it was about 12 over the weekend which works out about 52 fahrenheight

just a thought

welcome to the Jaguar owners club and hope you enjoy your x-type.. great cars and drive really nice!

i have added a pic to my post to help others.

i think if it says No Phone then it is installed.. i could be wrong... do you have the manual? it will tell you how to link the car from there

have you submitted the chassis number to them to check?

Do you have a local DVLA office near you? you need to check with them for the chassis number

if not then i would call them to advise

Its really not as hard as it seems.... first off i tried the old remove the arm with a 13mm socket, but i could not prise the arm off the spindle for some reason... so in the end i took a look at the blade and worked it out that the small clip need pushing upwards and at the same time push the blade away from you if you are on the passenger side (on a Right hand drive car for our international members) and pull towards you if on the drivers side.

Unclip the pipe and and the whole blade is removed.

took 5 mins to do both blades.

Today I changed the wiper blades on my S-Type.

At first it seems complicated as you cannot pull the wiper arms past the bonnet, leaving you in that head scratching situation.

But on the wiper blade mount there is a small clip underneath which you push upwards as hard as you can and then slide the blade off... with a small wiggle it will come off the arm.

Take off the hose from the washer jet and then when the blade is free you need to take the centre mount clip off (quite hard to get the plastic clip off, use a big headed screw driver to prise it off, but be careful not to break) which as the washer jet attached to it and apply to new blade.

I put 10" and 12" PIAA blades on mine... works a treat

PIAA blades are awesome as they are silicone, i have a few sets in my garage if anyone wants to buy a set.
