  1. Glyn I have an S-Type and have to do exactly the same thing. I do not have a garage and have a wire/lead from the house to the car. The boot lid will shut and I have put some extra tape around the cable from the house in the area that I trap in the boot lid seal. It does no harm to the supply lead. The other thing I have done, because my cable crosses over the path to our front door is purchased a rubber wire concealing strip that has yellow lines on it as a warning. I do not want the postman or anyone else tripping over the supply cable and hurting themselves or "seeing a profitable claim on me." Best wishes and Regards, John
  2. If they are not available (and I have never seen anything to suggest they are), is it possible that the club can look into acquiring some/having some made, for purchase. May be they would need to be paid for (I.E. Ordered) by members wanting them before they are manufactured. Could be that the club might consider asking the question if a source of manufacture could be found. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  3. Am assuming you are talking a petrol engine ??????????? . Also assuming litre cost of around £1.48, which would be about 24 gallons . Assuming Southampton to London is around 80 miles. That is therefore an MPG of 3.3 . WOW that is a lot of petrol. My 2005 (Facelift) 2.5 V6 does an average 23 -24 around and about locally and on a run like you describe I would expect it to return 26 - 27 MPG. Assuming you do not have a VERY heavy right foot then you have serious fuel problems which need attention very quickly before some major damage is done. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  4. Joe I think I will invest in one of these. Since I bought the plug in SDD diagnostics and the Laptop Widows XP to run it, I have never conquered the what I consider complicated technology of getting to use it. Could, I suppose, hope sell the Laptop and SDD diagnostics. May be there is someone younger that me and more computer literate that would like to buy it. It might even sell if listed on this Forum. Thanks again for your help. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  5. Joe Having never conquered how to use the computer for it and the JLR SDD/IDS software I bought. I am wondering how detailed and efficient you find the Icarsoft CR PRO. Reading latest listings for them I am not so sure they cover all manufacturers and have lifetime updates. The companies website seems to be quoting limited manufacturers and the update is to be purchase for given number of years at extra costs. The main point though is the efficiency and detail of the job that the equipment will do. Thanks and Regards, John
  6. Julie My S Type has electronic handbrake. I have not experienced any problems with it. I keep my battery well charged and conditioned on a regular basis with CTEX MS 7.0. Well worth their money with the amount of problems that I see reported with low battery charge on S-Type`s. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  7. Max Hope your restoration work progresses well and that you then have success with the lighting complaint with Sussex Constabulary. Well done for taking it up. Best Wishes, John
  8. Max Not surprised at the reaction of the base Police. They will not be interested as they have no jurisdiction outside of the base. You will only sytand any chance of action if it via Sussex Constabulary, who are responsible for the public highways beyond the base. Best Wishes, John
  9. Max Very annoying and dangerous actions. Perhaps someone (maybe yourself) local to the American bases should report this ongoing occurrence to the authorities. I believe within the perimeters of the actual bases local authorities do not have powers to intervene, however once private vehicles from them bases come onto British roads they have to comply with the law. It may prove provident to inform the Traffic Division of Sussex Constabulary of these incidents and your concerns over safety on the roads at night. Best Wishes and Regards, John
