  1. Hi Kevin Can you give us some more details and maybe some photos? Is it turning at all? or is it the Filler flap not opening? John
  2. Hi Peter Glad you got it sorted, and thanks for the update. Always nice to know how people have actually solved the problems rather than just having a list of problems and suggestions for solving them which may or may not have worked. 🙂 John
  3. Hi Pete That sounds very high. My understanding is that quiescent drain should be less tham 30mA. That is 0.03A. That sort of drain would easily flatten a fully charged battery in a week. Car needs at least 30mins after being shutdown for all of the moddules to go to sleep John
  4. This any good? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/386276347833 John
  5. Hi Peter First thought is low battery voltage. I had same fault on mine just after purchase following being sat in a station car park for 30 mins with the engine off playing with all of my new toys before getting the "low battery - start engine" warning. Air suspension warning came on 20 minutes into subsequent journey. Stopped and re-started and no problem since (5 years + now!). Had you done a lot of short journeys, and or not used it for a while? John
  6. Hi Stewart. Could try this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dashboard-Protective-Jaguar-2008-2015-Sunshade/dp/B09H2VCT14?th=1 Regards John
  7. Hi Frank Could be a whole host of different issues. You need to get the diagnostic codes read to know which one it is. Good luck John
  8. Hi Paint code will be on the information label which is normally on a door pillar or door edge. Usually a 3 letter code. Good luck
  9. Hi Tony I know this is in the S-Type forum but your profile says you have an X-Type and it does not look like any S or X-types I have seen before, and certainly not like my X-Type! 😞 Could be they did a different cluster for Japan?? Only suggestion, assuming you can't get a replacement - and as that screen looks VERY scratched, would be to maybe try the same stuff used to polish perspex headlights that have gone opaque. Is the screen still functional? John
  10. Hi Graham You should be able to find them here: http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Electrical/XFWorkshopManual/2010XFRWorkshop.pdf They are split into relevant sections within the manual. Good luck John
  11. Hi Brian I have used this sort of sealant in the past on a Triumph 2000 windscreen (showing my age) and found it worked for me. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Captain-Tolleys-Creeping-Crack-sealer/dp/B003T6EJ9A/ref=sr_1_4?c=ts&keywords=Fillers%2C+Adhesives+%26+Sealants&qid=1708024242&s=automotive&sr=1-4&ts_id=303910031 Not used this one but might do the trick if the leak source is large enough to see: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Permatex-Flowable-Silicone-Windshield-81730/dp/B000BKEBO0?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A29LBC99T7K0YC Good luck John
  12. Hi. I believe it is under the nearside bonnet catch at the front of the car. First on my list would be to try closing the bonnet by allowing it to drop from about 10" to ensure it has actually engaged properly and see if that cures it 🙂 Good luck John
  13. Hi Lee Sorry to hear it is still an issue. Personally it is the sort of issue I would put up with rather than giving a dealer £260 to diagnose! Only other suggestion would be to try an independent Jag Specialist if you can find one locally. If you do get it sorted please post as it may well help others. Good luck John
  14. Hi Ian I did it over 5 years ago now and have never regretted it. Personally I would go for a sportbrake (more practical and even better looking IMHO 🙂 Also my advice would be to avoid the Ingenium engines and stick with either the 2.2 (ideally the 200bhp version) or the V6. The pre-2016s also look better! Mine is 2013. Problems to date: Water in boot (sorted before I got it but cost £1k for previous owner) so check boot is dry. New discs and pads about every 2.5 years - It is a big car... New Battery (AGM so £260) Replacement Exterior Temp Sensor (£150) Replacement Front Bumper Wiring Loom - (Parking sensor and reversing camera work as a unit) £250 at Jag main dealer Rear doors & windows refused to open (I let the battery go flat in 1st Lockdown) sorted under warranty so I advise keeping battery happy with a CTek charger every couple of weeks as a minimum. Bridgestone weather control A005's last about 15-20K miles (mine is on 19" wheels). I only use Shell V Power diesel and have never had any EGR or DPF issues (mainly used for short local runs with a few motorway runs for an hour or so each month. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine 🙂 John
  15. Hi http://www.jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepairPhotos/Parts_S-Types_2000-2005.pdf Page 646. They all have different part numbers 😞 John
