  1. Anthony, many thanks for the positive comment and hope it was oh help. Regards, John
  2. Paul, It would be good to know what you think of their charges, abilities and customer service. Good Luck, Regards, John
  3. Paul, I live in Gloucestershire and the only Independent Jaguar Specialist I know of is Swallows, just south of Bristol, in Somerset. https://swallows-jag.co.uk. There is also one at Kidderminster https://offmoreroadgarage.co.uk I have not personally used either of them so cannot vouch for their expertise or customer service. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  4. Try reading the error code to see what it advises. Regards, John
  5. You do not say why you have removed the sensors, but presumably because you think they are faulty. I have submissions on this forum concerning exhaust emissions on bank 1 (left bank) and associated catalytic converter problems, that I experienced and cured on my S-Type. If you suspect the sensor (Upstream or downstream) your first step should be to read any codes that are entered, via your OBD 11 connection. Usual you get Yellow Management Light on clock and when read is usually, depending on which Bank of cylinders is at fault, a Code P0240 or P0230. If the sensors or sensor are/is faulty your best long term fix is to replace them with new. Whatever you do make certain they are a good make, preferably OE specification and at avoid the cheap Chinese products that are offered on the likes of Ebay etc. Good Luck and Best Wishes, Regards, John
  6. "Bite the bullet" and replace plugs and ignition coils. As you will need the inlet manifold off, you will need new manifold gasket/s as well. Had one cylinder on bank 1 misfiring and left it whilst I tried to find other reasons and it killed the Catalytic Converter. I eventually replaced all six plugs, coil packs and manifolds. Problem cured. Then had to replace the cat as that kept showing a code P0420 (Low efficiency left bank). Dear job but well worth it as the car has been wonderfully smooth and powerful ever since. There are numerous posts which I put on this Forum about what I did and went through to cure my S-Type of this problem Good Luck with sorting your car, Regards, John
  7. David, If you go through the sections (XE and XF) dedicated to both of the models I am certain you will gleam plenty of information and be able to calculate/identify the pros and cons of each of the models, to enable you to decide which model and specification. Best Wishes on search, Regards, John
