  1. i think we will be doing another factory tour this summer.. maybe two of them.. after that we will have lunch...

     

    keep your eyes peeled for this and we will email everyone, make sure you have allowed us to send emails in your notifications settings in your profile.

  2. if the pads touch the disks then they can get really hot, so when doing motorway driving they will be hot.

     

    go and take a motorway run and then stop and put your hands near the wheel hub (not on the disks) and if they glow warm then they are probably touching slightly. Or it could have done that a while back

     

    They cannot warp without the heat so I would think its all down to the calipers or pads

     

    Don't feel too disallusioned by this.. i had quite a few Lexus before and they also had the same problems which was all down to the caliper.

  3. Hi

     

    Sorry to hear of your warped disk problem.

     

    The warping is caused by over heating of the disk. Do you brake at high speeds a lot? Live on a large hill?

     

    Have you had the calipers overhauled to check the slide pins are not corroded?

     

    When the car goes in to limp mode it should set a fault code, i would go and get the fault code read from the memory and see whats causing that, maybe ABS due to the faulty calipers?

     

    Keep us updated

  4. Well MR D comes to bournemouth

     

    so maybe he would be interested in cming for a pint as well.. i can ask on Facebook for other owners

     

    I run regular Jaguar Factory Tours or the production plant and Veneer factory as well.. so look out for that one as well as about 40 of us go

  5. I've had my S-Type for almost a year now, I'm enjoying it as much now as i was then - should have bough the car sooner.  It's the V8 Sport model, so can shift when the little S button is pressed - in truth it can shift without it but it's awesome with it.  I enjoy the presence and the drive down to Bournemouth to collect my son :)

     

    Is yours the facelift model mate?
