  1. I have decided to "take the bull by the horns" and invest in a new Catalytic Converter. None of the other suggestions/new parts fittings have made any difference to the P0420 code. Fingers crossed that this will cure the code from keeping reoccurring. I will update as soon as the job has been done and tested for what is usually 18 - 20 miles, after resetting the code. Regards and Best Wishes to Everyone , John
  2. I would appreciate if anyone has knowledge of, or photos of the correct fitting kit for a 2005 (facelift) S Type. Have checked on internet but there are various photos/diagrams/etc., showing what is supposedly the correct kit. However the vast differences that have shown up are just serving to make me wonder if suppliers do actually know what is needed. My own feelings are that the only fittings needed are a D Clamp (for joining the Cat Con pipe to the remainder of the exhaust) and an "O" Ring type mesh/gauze gasket that will squash between the manifold and the Cat Pipe, (when it is clamped on with the two stud/nut flange). I am wanting to have everything to hand before the job of fitting a new Cat is started and can then be completed, all in one process with correct parts. Many thanks in anticipation of your informative responses and help. Regards and Best Wishes , John.
  3. Help and/or assistance please: I have purchased the diagnostics (as in the title) and have it installed on a computer to the exact specification as requested by the suppliers. The installation is good. However myself and my son in law (he being very computer literate, me at almost 72 years young not being so very good. I am mechanically OK and he not so much so. Between us we manage well.) cannot seem to find our way through the process of using the software to make a diagnosis. I have found an on line copy of the Jaguar Technician Instructions to using this diagnostic facility but it is some 3000 pages on a "Pdf" file and is plainly designed as a "teach in" document and NOT a "teach yourself document." Any help you may know of or could recommend would be very appreciated and we would both be grateful. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  4. Another fan of Pirelli here. Regards, John
  5. Have now, on recommendation from this Forum (thank you Joe), purchased RING 200 Xenon bulbs @ £30 a pair for H7 dipped beam.
  6. Translation: On my s-type 2.7 D from 2005, the power brakes failed - but also the front tires on the outside suddenly wear out enormously. It also makes a 'popping' sound in the front when entering a sharp bend. The biggest problem is that I am in southern Spain and there is no one around here who can help me. Any advice/help is welcome
  7. https://autoreplacementcosts.com/jaguar-s-type-belt-chain/ David S Types have a timing chain. Cheers, John
  8. As per usual I have found quite a number of sellers that are offering replacement headlamp bulbs, however not unusually there are many that cannot or will not advise which model is needed for the 2005 S Type. I guess this because they plainly do not know the products they are offering for sell. I never have and never will but from a seller who cannot answer questions about the products they are promoting. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  9. Thanks for posting this link for telephone holder. I to have been looking for a decent one for my S Type. Regards, John
