  1. Welcome to the club/forum. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  2. Paul Fabulous looking camera and housing. Good photos as well. Do you know if these are made for the S-Type. Regards, John
  3. Totally agree that you should not be paying for anything after only a month. I would also be surprised if the warranty company will support any claim in under a month of the car being sold by a dealer. If you can get no satisfaction to cover all of the costs from the seller/dealer then I would be inclined to tell him that you you want him to accept the car being returned to him and that you want your full money refunded. He will have, under consumer law, to comply with either fixing everything, at his cost, or accept the return and refund on the car. Unless of course you purchased under an agreement (the likes of E.G. "a Trade Sale") and you were aware of that/those factors on purchase. Good Luck, Best Wishes and Regards, John
  4. Welcome to the club/forum. John
  5. Many thanks. Regards, John
  6. Dom Welcome and hope you continue to enjoy your XF-S. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  7. If no proof, then changing the belts has just got to be a minimum of jobs to be done. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  8. Am getting some very low external temperature readings showing on what are plainly much hotter days. Can anyone advise me as to where the external temperature sensor can be located. Many thanks and Regards, John
  9. JOC.COM Stand 26.06 2022. Simply Jaguar, Beaulieu
  10. Brian Welcome to the Forum/Club. I take the point you make about gaining a X150, but boy Primrose is certainly the more iconic carriage. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  11. Likewise.
  12. Somewhat surprised at how few members of this Forum/Club attended this event. There were hundreds of Jaguars on display and it was a great day for weather being sunny and really warm all day long. Best Wishes and Regards , John
  13. Darren Unless you really do want a so called upgraded car that has had items done that are not really provable, I would agree with walking away from the "bastardised" car. I would also not want to take the risk of heavy fines, or even having the car impounded, due to DPF removal etc. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  14. Great invention these torque wrenches !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Regards, John
  15. I feel the advice given by Jaguar in the handbook for the car and/or on a sticker (usually on door pillars) is the correct way to go with tyre sizes. Best wishes and Regards, John
  16. Tonya It appears to be in the correct place (I.E. XF). Sometimes it does take a while for a person who knows the answer to actually read the posted question. There appears to be times when nobody has read the posts at all. It is highly likely that someone will give an answer at sometime. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  17. Patrick Job sorted then, well done. Good Luck and Best Wishes, John
  18. Julie a new battery will need looking after as well. Regards, John
  19. I have watched the price of classic and semi classic cars for many years. This is a model of car that is inevitably going to become a classic of the future (if not sooner). In my opinion after the XK type models and S-Type models Jaguar have not made particularly many (I am not saying none) cars that reflect being a Jaguar by design. Personally I believe this model of car is worth what the seller is prepared to take for it, versus, what you as the buyer is prepared to pay for it. Price, in my opinion, is not the only and utmost regard. I believe a provable service and maintenance history is important and part of a value, as is mileage and condition. The important factors in condition are, including mechanically, bodily and internally. You seem to suggest that all of these factors are sitting well with you in respect of this car. If you consider it a price you are prepared to pay then the best you can do, if satisfied that the car is all good and what you want, is make an offer for the car. You may be lucky to negotiate the price down. On the other hand you may not and have to make a decision (which only you can do) on whether or not you will pay the asking price. You have not said if you are buying from a dealer or if you are buying from a private source. No doubt you are well aware of the different legalities from both, so bear this in mind when making a decision. Be aware of what/if a dealer is offering a warranty, as to what is covered by that warranty and the conditions attached to it. Good luck with any negotiations / decisions. Best Wishes and Regards, John.
  20. The CTEK 7 and 10 also have a setting for RECON, which de-sulphates the battery. Basically regenerating it. Plainly a totally dead battery is a different matter. The CTEX will also act as a supply to start a car with a flat battery. To my mind they are a good investment for the money. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  21. Julie Being a S-Type and having experience of them, battery would not be a surprise. They suffer with parasitic drain very easily. I usually put mine on my CTEK MXS 7 at least once a week, for minimum of 12 hours, hopefully more. My battery was replaced 12 months ago and is for ever throwing codes if it is not kept well charged. Good Luck and Best Wishes, John
