Hi all!

S type has started to stutter when it goes up hill its 2.7 diesel.

Is absolutely fine on normal driving like on flat ground and going down hill it only seems to be uphill 

Is the the Egr valves? 

Hi Chaps

Bit of a weird one I'm curios on sorting. I have the 2 keys for my S type and one of them is not turning the full beams on when I press it. The fob will lock the car and open the boot but just not the lights.

Wonder if anyone else has had this problem

The other fob can turn them on fine I'm just intrigued to know what's happening.

I don't think its the battery on the fob but the fob that wont turn them on was the key used everyday and has some of the buttons fading away as the other was the spare.

Cheers Chaps

Just thought Id share a few pics I took awhile ago.

Let me know your thought is you like them

Those in the wing are definitely indicator repeaters. Having had both my front wings off recently I can confirm that :)

I believe construction and use regulations require repeaters (where fitted) to be functional and to show light of the correct colour.

Ok cheers for that, I'm new to owning a Jag can you tell? :)

The car is in Portugal so I don't know the regulations for that but shouldn't be too much of a problem they look like Jag made them like that.

Welcome to the Club, Luis,

My s type [an 07 plate] has them similar, but with one difference.  Bulbs.

They are side repeaters with bulbs in them.  I would be inclined to check them out just in case.

Regards,

Peter.

Hi Peter

Thanks for that I know they don't have bulbs in them cause they were took out for paint and I just naturally assumed it was supposed to be like that. Oh well its done now and the car doesn't really do night driving that much so should be ok.

Cheers

Hi Luis I think you will find they are there to protect your car from someone coming side on to you

when parked --Grey misty night grey car --the first thing a driver would see is the reflectors .?????

but as they say its up to you ????   I don't know how the law stands on this???

Frank

Hi Frank I wasn't sure on that I just thought they were reflectors for as you say at night for people to see in car parks etc. Oh well they are done now and the car does not really do night driving. but cheers on that

Are those not indicators, rather than simple reflectors?

If you have painted over them, what have you done to make sure that they still serve their intended purpose?

I know that you can remove the orange glass and replace with clear glass and orange bulbs, but from your photos and description that does not appear to be what you have done.

No Leo they are reflectors they don't have bulbs in them. Only U.S spec have them I think. I saw a picture that someone else had done and decided to have it done on mine cause I didn't like the reflectors.

I don't know really why they put them there I've never liked them.  

Hi all!

New to the S type owners club so just wanted to share a few bits that have been done to the new Jag.

I had the cars side reflectors painted to match the bodywork because not keen on how they were before.

Attached are some pictures of the car before and after the job had been done.
