  1. Hi Both, Thanks for the reply This is the head unit I have but no CD multichanger, can I just fit a second hand one into the glove box? And will it be a straight forward plug and play? With regards to the idle problem after doing some googling it appears to be a vacuum leak in the elbow at the back centre of the engine. When I was looking I noticed a hissing and by squeezing this connector the hissing stopped. How ever I removed the pipe and elbow that runs under the manifold and when blowing through them both there was no obvious air leak, any one know where this goes below that elbow joint? With regard to servicing my brother is a mechanic and was going to get him to do it but his jaguar experience is limited would you recommend the extra money to go to a specialist? Thanks Chris
  2. Hi all, I am a new S-Type owner a 1999 3.0 V6 in Silver. After looking through the discussion about them being an old mans car I may be the youngest owner on here at 24. I have always loves Jaguars since my Dad and Grandad had them when I was younger and have looked for one for ages. I have a couple of questions though, I will start with what is hopefully an easy one. My model doesn't have the 6 disk multi changer but has the button on the head unit for it can I just buy one from a newer model and plug and play or is it not that easy? Secondly the harder question. The car is cutting out on idle, this only tend to be on longer trips or when I am stuck in traffic which made me consider over heating? It happens in park and drive and starts straight away afterwards but will just cut out at random when stationary. The temperature gauge doesn't show it as getting hot though? Anyone came across this before? Any advice? Many Thanks and Hello Chris
