Is the battery good as you say. S-Types are notorious with battery drain, with the very cold weather added into the equation it could in fact be that the battery is not good. Regards, John

As Joe has posted. P1000 is a manufacturer installed Code that will, once all codes corrected, disappear on driving the vehicle. Regards, John

Barry Jaguars are battery thirsty (especially I find my S-Type was). I cured the problem by investing in a CTEK MS 7 Battery Charger / Re-conditioner . Use mine at least once per month and for at least 24 hours at a time. Marvellous machine which I use successfully Summer and Winter. Many people on this Forum find it a worthwhile investment for keeping a good battery in excellent condition. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Welcome to the Forum/Club and the wonderful world of Jaguar. Regards, John

Barry you could consult Jaguar Heritage who would confirm your full specification, by the Vin No: you give them. Another few ways of knowing the Sport Model (which I have ) is you will have two tone leather interior, you will have a different coloured grill insert, the will be no wood veneer inside the car.

Phillip I feel we must be certain that like for like must be taken into account when considering cost of any item. Best Wishes and Regards, John

James I feel one must know what make of discs and pads are used before serious comment can be made on value for money. £130 for pads, discs and fitting certainly sound very cheap to me. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Graham Welcome to the Forum/Club and to the wonderful world of Jaguar ownership. When you mention local Jaguar Dealer I do not know whom you are referring to, but there is an independent Jaguar specialist in Somerset trading by the name of Swallows Jaguar. They may be cheaper to deal with than a Jaguar Main Dealer. I also know , only too well , what you mean by spending money on an S-Type. Beat Wishes and Regards, John

Joe Many thanks for the info and advice. I will have a look and see if I can find the adjusters as a starting point. Regards and Best Wishes, John

Joe Please excuse my being somewhat off topic but: Have recently acquired a Toyota Avensis T-Spirit (2012 Generation 3). Being a T-Spirit it has self levelling HID headlights. The dipped beam , in my opinion is set rather low. There is very little illumination from dipped beam. Full beam is like driving in full summer daylight. What confuses me is "self levelling". This must be judged from a set datum point somewhere/somehow, and I know not where or how. Is it possible to adjust the self levelling lights manually. If I were to take to an MOT station and ask them to run a headlight level check on their beam setting equipment and it proved to be incorrect, could they manually adjust the level/s. The car was MOT`d some 8 weeks ago with no problems or advisories. Not that I would always accept that the test was perfectly actioned and that nothing was overlooked by the judgement of an individual. The other point is that I have read that HID lights can deteriorate after years of use. I read that the deterioration can be 6-8 years. The car has done some 86,000 miles and I have no idea if the bulbs have ever been replaced. Noting the price of them (from Toyota @ £114.00 per bulb, which is £228 for a pair, I somehow doubt it). Still prefer driving the S-Type , although the Avensis being a 2.0 Litre Diesel does prove much more economical. The Toyota just is not as comfortable a ride as the S-Type. Your expert opinion and advice would be very appreciated. Best Wishes and Regards, John
