Mark Thank you very much for the very excellent details of "how and with what". I will look into these products and hopefully treat my S-Type. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Mike battery is 12 months old. Terminals are all OK as everything was checked in boot when CTEK MS 07 was installed with plug in separate in boot area six months ago and battery spends regular time on CTEK. Regards, John

"ABS FAULT" "DSC NOT AVAIKABLE" and CVRUISE NOT AVAILABLE. The above warning has appear three times in one journey of 120 miles. Each time it appears I have read for codes and there are no codes registered. Have parked for a while with key out of ignition. Started again and yellow warning still there. Have then driven away and within 100 yds the yellow warning have disappeared. This has happened three times and has cured itself as described on all three occasions. Can anyone / someone help or suggest how this can be cured. My battery spend regular time on my QTEK charger. Many thanks in anticipation of some good advice. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Totally concur, |my CTEK ms7, keeps even my power hungry S-Type in tip top condition. Regards, John

I am booked for this. HJopefullyu there will be many members attending this day. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Mark Looks extremely good. How and with what did you achieve that level of presentation? Best Wishes and Regards , John

Darren Your best place to start is to make certain that the battery is fully up to strength as Jaguars suffer when battery condition or charge is low. (Big drain even when used regularly) You then need to get a reading with an OBD2 reader. Theses can be obtained relatively cheaply from the likes of Ebay or other well known sites of similar nature. The codes, if any there, will give you a good clue as to the starting point. Good Luck and Best Wishes, Regards, John

Ash, you can also find a PDF download of most workshop manuals on the internet. This is a place I often use for information and is usually very accurate and reliable. http://www.jagrepair.com Good Luck. Best Wishes and Regards, John

The location varies from the bulkhead, under the bonnet, back of the engine, or underneath near the DPF above the subframe.You will find 3 wires for the connector which plugs into the sensor.

Stephen Good luck with your XK8. If everything is OK once you have initially started the engine, that`s when you can start on the list of works that you may find want doing. Hopefully having been garaged and covered up for five years you hopefully will not have bodywork problems to deal with. Should be a nice car for you eventually. Photos of before and after are always nice to see. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Roger Even with a new battery, which is good news that the seller replaced it, you should still consider buying a CTEK to keep the battery in good condition. Jaguars are notorious for battery drain. Best Wishes, John

Alexander Underpowered is a subjective matter in my opinion. As much as overpowered could be. As for my 2.5 V6 I can assure you for my requirements of a Jaguar, it is not underpowered. Also I do not like diesel powered cars. It has to be said though that whilst I am still a very keen and active driver I do not do power at my age of 72 years young, like I used to when younger with the likes of Nissan Skylines etc. One R34 GTR I once owned and upgraded was producing some 450+ BHP. Good Luck finding your right car. Regards, John

Alexander Interesting that you eliminated the X Type on the basis of no four wheel drive, as there is a four wheel drive model. Also that you decided on eliminating so much on the S-Type range. I do wonder if you have read much of this forum, because if you have you would have found many submissions on virtually all Jaguar models where owners get problems with all models of Jaguar. Being an S-Type owner I am well aware of how they produce many fault codes. A fairly high percentage of codes often eventually relate back to low battery charge being low. The S-Type is renown for being heavy on battery discharge when not used regularly over a good distance. You would be well advised to invest in a decent Jaguar OBD2 fault reader and a QTEK battery charger/conditioner. That applying to most models but particularly in respect of battery charge for the S-Type. By the way I love my 2005 Facelift 2.5V6 Petrol auto with 65,000 miles, very much, despite the challenges it can regularly present. Enjoy your eventual purchase and take good care of it.
