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

What a shame this project got cancelled :( A short video clip to show what this car could do.

Hi Neil ....bit of a strange fault this one. Have you tried switching the controls from automatic climate control to manual override? Only thinking, if there is a fault with any of the climate control sensors then these could be controlling the system to run hot all the time. Maybe some other members have come across this fault before??? Regards, Trevor

Hi Jordi I can't seem to source any replacement sills for your car so you may have to resort to plating the existing ones if they are not too corroded. Maybe other members may know of a supply source? As they have cosmetic sill covers fitted then it doesn't matter too much about how the sills look as long as they are structurally sound. Regards, Trevor

It would be on the top hose and the cap looks the same as a tyre valve dust cap. It is worthwhile opening it very gently and beware of steam & boiling hot water being emitted under high pressure! If you have got air in the system, then you may have to investigate further as to how it got in there?

Hi Mark Welcome to the club! .... and carry on enjoying the Jag :)

Awesome video of the XKR-S GT......enjoy !!!

Wow....that's expensive! Mind you, if you love your car...its got to be worth it :)

Hi Ricky I'm not to sure about fibre optic aftermarket amplifiers but most of the top end prestige cars seem to be equipped with them from the factory. I'm sure if you fitted an aftermarket one how it may affect the operation with regards to the CanBus network and if it will need coding in. I hope some other members may have come across this one and can help you with more information. Regards, Trevor

Good luck and look forward to hearing how it all goes

Thanks Patrick, these manuals are perfect for downloading by members...we have started uploading more of them in the Jaguar Knowledgebase section of this forum.

Hi Phillip It sounds like you could have air in the cooling system. Generally this does not naturally occur but if you have a small coolant leak somewhere in the system or if there has been any work carried out on the cooling system then this could have introduced some air into the heater. The way to determine this is to feel the heater hoses and if they are hot and then further along there is a cold area then that's where the air is (which blocks the flow of coolant). The solution then is to purge the air by letting it out through a bleed point or temporarily loosening a hose clip to enable the air to escape. Alternatively, It could be the hot/cold air heater distribution flap or motor stuck in the cold position. Possibly cycling the hot/cold heater control backwards and forwards may assist in getting it operational again. Hope this helps? Please keep us updated on this fault as it may affect other members who are now switching their heating onto the hot setting. Regards, Trevor

Hi John would be nice to hear how you get on with the evaluation after a month or so...its good to get feedback on products with unbiased opinions. Thanks Regards, Trevor

Hi Mark Firstly, Welcome to the club! Automatic transmissions have changed considerably over the past twenty years. Noticeably, features like the paddle shift...to take some control over the gear shifting and giving the driver some input. But also, the auto transmission is now completely electronically controlled and if programmed properly at the development stage should provide the best shift patterns and also take into account the overall vehicle economy. It may also shift up later to allow the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to regenerate and keep the system clean and unclogged. Regards, Trevor
