What kit was he using to code the car?

Yes, as far as I remember they are interference engines

Has the chain gone?

She certainly is photogenic 🙂

The only thing I can think of is the valve clearances if the valve seats were to recede slightly due to running on poor quality fuel and pre-ignition which can cause this (best to run on 97 octane and additives)
If clearances change then re-shimming may become necessary

You haven't moved far over the years then Tim?
Pretty much jumped neighbouring counties then 🙂

Hi Grant.....welcome to the Club

I would advise carrying out a search in the forums to see what faults come up for these models and engines
Hope you find a good example of the Jaguar you're after, I'm sure there's some good ones out there

Hi.....welcome to the club

I would be tempted to disconnect the battery, leave for a short while and then reconnect (negative off first and on last).

The try to plip the locks with the key fob and see if it reads the keys after a few attempts.

Here's some info on battery reset but for S-Type but some functions may not work but may also be helpful to see procedures

Hi Tony......welcome to the Club

That is worrying if it cuts whilst driving.
Has the car had enough prolonged usage to charge the battery?
If not, this can lead to similar issues as can leaving the car sat for many days/weeks at a time.

Has the fuel filter been replaced recently?

Hi David....welcome to the Club

I agree with Peter, sounds like the pre-heater emitting fumes into the cabin.
Ensure it is not running constantly and that it times out after a few minutes

So who's up for this Jaguar show at Beaulieu this year?

It sounds like the cooling system is probably cavitation which is caused by either a hotspot in the coolant system or a faulty pressure relief cap which is cheaper to replace to eliminate this as a possible cause.
 

You should be able to move the seat all the way forwards, undo any bolts and then all the way back and undo any bolts there and the seat should come out

Hi....welcome to the Club

Hopefully you will find what you're looking for in the forums, if not ask away and I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

Hi Kev....welcome to the Forum

Great looking XKR !

I think it would be worth removing the servo which isn't too difficult to remove and inspect the valve where the pushrod goes into and see if there is corrosion in there...if so replace the servo

Hope this helps?

Looks like F28 is the fuse (15 amp)

Hi Steven....welcome to the Club

Had to replace a servo on diesel S-Type once before as was corroded and leaking pressure.
Fitted another one (later type as used on XF) and worked fine.
However, there is a actuating pushrod between the brake pedal and the servo which I believe it adjustable so if the replacment one is not set correctly then this could be the issue.
Would necessitate removal of the brake pedal pushrod (from the underside of the dashboard) and making an adjustment to the length which would release the hydraulic pressure off the braking system.
