I am running Yokohama's on 16" (on when I bought the car) and the ride is quite firm, so I would not recommend them and I will be changing them soon. I have recently started working for a major UK tyre distributor and handle all types and makes of tyre everyday, and it is amazing how different the various brands are. I am finding that even though the sizes and specs may match, the strength/firmness of the walls vary considerably along with the weight of the tyre. Again, looking at the same spec of tyre, I have found Yokos, Bridgestone and Dunlops appear to be heaviest and have quite stiff walls. Obviously the economy brands such as KwikFits Arrowspeed are lighter, will wear quicker and probably won't perform well under the weight of our cars. Most of the quality car dealerships that we supply seem to order Pirelli or Continentals and I believe the P6000 with a "J" marking was put on both the the X and S Types at the factory, so they may be the best option for comfort. However, this is not a recommendation, just my own thoughts and what I will probably be changing to. Good luck.

2002 2.1 Petrol Would be grateful for any input. I am a little concerned that the hose in the pic attached is not as it was when it left the factory, as it seems to be in three separate pieces and not exactly the neatest bit of pipework I have ever seen. The hard plastic centre section is quite easy to move between the end rubber fittings and as you can see, doesn't fit into the rubber ends up to the hilt on one side. Although the ends appear to be a fairly tight fit, I am also surprised that it is just pushed on and has no clips! Can anyone advise if this is ok?

Yes, its an Autolec. However, it is a few years old now, so not a current model. Plenty of OBD readers on Amazon or eBay for under £30ish. A quick message to the company selling should confirm if compatible with our Jaguar's.

Had LR's myself for many years but found the maintenance issues took up a lot of my time, so thought moving to jaguar might ease the complaints from my wife.....Silly me. Still to actually get the car on the road properly, as I bought it as a project (spares or repair) and have only just got it running on all 6 cyls again. The OBD is at my sons but I am pretty sure it's Autolec? I will check tomorrow and advise.

Hi to All, new member here enjoying trawling through many pages of interesting info on the forum. (Still not to the end yet, so apologies if this is covered after page 10) I am presuming that I have made an epic error in replacing the forward Lambda sensor with a cheap, new £30 unit off of eBay, as after just 50 miles the EML has reappeared. OBD unit confirms that it is the same fault code P1647 (Bank 2 Sensor 1) seen before, so I am thinking it is my fault for trying to save some of my hard earned ££'s. On MOT day as well! Cancelled out the light with the OBD and emissions just scraped through at 103 on the 2nd try. However, the examiner advised to replace the "new" Lambda with a Bosch or Denso unit at around £120 from Europarts. I guess you live and learn.........
