Jaguar Owners Club

Hi Mick T Ebay have some kits available for your car. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=hid+lighting+kit&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xjaguar+hid+lighting+kit&_nkw=jaguar+%23hid+lighting+kit&_sacat=0 However, a couple of things to be aware of...unless they are compatible with the Canbus electronic system of your vehicle then this can result in errors being generated in the system. Also, the HID kit isn't really road legal as it cannot dip automatically when going over bumps/inclines and also if the weight distribution changes within the car and can lead to dazzling the oncoming traffic. Therefore, they shouldn't really go through the MOT test. They do however, produce a lot better light and illuminate far better than halogen. Regards, Trevor

Hi Bloodnock It sounds like carbon deposits within the air intake system causing your idle problem. The intake manifold tends to suffer from carbon and is easily rectified by removing it and cleaning with a degreaser. Also, check all breather pipes are clear and also secure (no splits, kinks, etc). I would start there before condemning any electronic components. Regards, Trevor

Hi Martin I have found a few bits and pieces for your car on eBay. You should be able to source a readily available Copper-Hide hammer from a good tool shop for a reasonable price. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAGUAR-3-8-4-2-E-TYPE-TOOL-ROLL-/260474671129?pt=UK_Car_Interior_Accessories&hash=item3ca5801019 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-JAGUAR-XKE-E-TYPE-TOOL-ROLL-/251338176397?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a84ec378d and various listings for tool kits http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.Xe+type+jaguar+tools&_nkw=e+type+jaguar+tools&_sacat=0&_from=R40 Regards, Trevor

Hi Joey Welcome to the club ! Glad to hear you're enjoying your Jag....it looks great! Regards, Trevor

Hi John Welcome to the club ! Glad to hear you're enjoying your Jag...watch out for those cameras! Regards, Trevor

lol...great analogies! In reference to the wireless headphones...I imagine that they would be able to be used anywhere within the car (assuming they are Bluetooth linked to the devices). I have attached a link to a Jaguar 'How to Guide' in this post which may assist in programming your devices to the car.

Sounds like it all turned out for the best! I have heard the Astons are notoriously unreliable...but they're still a lovely machine. I hope you enjoy the Jag and pop by the forum any time...would be nice to know how it all pans out for you. Regards, Trevor

Hi Trevor....(great name by the way!) Welcome to the club and also to the Jaguar world! Sorry to hear you had problems with the Aston...hopefully you shouldn't have too many problems with the Jag. There is some tutorial information in this forum on programming and operating the radio, etc....if not, feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Trevor

sorry...misunderstood your message. Yes, that is what I have read also. Give it a try and see if the hoses are getting hot whilst you are running the heating system.

You could try that but be cautious of hot steam/water suddenly being emitted under high pressure! Also, make sure that the heater control is in the 'hot' position before bleeding the system

Found this description for bleeding the system. The valve would be on the plastic section of the top hose. The other (aluminium) pipe that you describe sounds like an air conditioning pipe. The bleed valve is on a pipe just to the lower right of the throttle body at the front of the engine. To open it, turn it a 1/4 turn clockwise. This allows air / water to run down a pipe at the back of it, back to the expansion tank. With the valve, open re-fill the system until water starts to come back to the tank via the pipe off the back of the bleed. Once that's done, start the car and run it with the heater on 29 degrees for 5 mins, topping up the tank as necessary. Once the water level is constant, close the valve and put the lid back on.

Hi John Welcome to the club! Certainly looks good in Radiance Red....enjoy it ! Regards, Trevor
