Done!
I guess I just need to see if it clears my EGR fault codes now! Hopefully it'll keep me out of restricted mode until I can get a proper clean out done.
Just out of curiosity what was the bit I was pointing at? It seemed to be leaking a fair amount of something (diesel Oil or just general engine muck) I tightened it up to hopefully stop future leaks.
I was going to have a stab at taking the EGR valves out to clean them, but having seen where they are I decided that may have to wait until I know the car a bit better.
Thank you,
Dave

Okay,
Thanks Peter! Thankfully I couldn't get the other bit apart anyway. I'll give it a go now.
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks for the information!
I ran the Engineering Diagnostic and got the codes D262 9875 E195. I'm just googling what they relate to. If anyone has a link I'd appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Dave

I think I jinxed myself! My car went into Restricted Performance mode on my way into work this morning. I was driving from South Wales to Stratford on Avon when it happened. I managed to find an independent Jaguar specialist very near to Stratford only to find out he's off for a long weekend in South Wales! So can't look at my car until next week.
I'm having to drive 90 odd miles home in this restricted performance mode tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous about it if I'm honest. I've read a lot on the forum today and tried a few things to clear out the DPF but I don't think it's that as it hasn't cleared after a 60 mile motorway drive.
Any advice would be appreciated, but I think I'm off to the garage Friday morning!
Thanks,
Dave
PS How's this for a pic?

Hello!
I am now the proud owner of a 2006 2.7d S Type.
I have a few jobs to do on it and have a load of questions! I'll post them in the S Type owners forum.
I just wanted to say hi! And thanks for all of the free advice, it's been really helpful.

S Type EGR valve replacement
in Jaguar Owners Lounge
Posted
Hi everyone,
I'm part way through removing my driver-side EGR valve. I've kind of got stuck. I had read online that with a flex head 8mm spanner and a universal joint socket to remove the torx bolts this job wasn't too tricky. However, I just can't seem to get to the two bolts underneath the EGR valve. I can reach them with my fingers and get the spanner on them, but the valve itself is blocking me from turning the spanner.
Has anyone done this job themselves? Can I remove any of the stuff around EGR valve to make it easier to access? I'm thinking the fuse box and the wiring that runs next to the valve. I have loosened it all but it's still just getting in the way.
I have to pick my son up from nursery at 4pm, help!
here are some photos of where I currently am.
Any advice or moral support would be really appreciated! Thanks, Dave
PS having very recently replaced my passenger-side EGR valve at an indie garage for about 300 quid I'm trying to not have to do it with this one.
