Bought this recently from Home Bargains @ £9.99p. Is extremely stable. Robust. Holds the screen very well. Does not obstruct view too much. Is massively adjustable to suit angle you want. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Martin I have a 2005 2.5 V6 petrol with 62,000 miles and have been through the very same experience as you describe. I am not categorically stating that my problem is the solve of your issue, just posing it as "food for thought". Have replaced all six ignition plugs and ignition coils, along with new upstream and downstream Lambda`s, had smoke test, new exhaust manifold gaskets (6), all OEM specification etc. etc. After the misfire, which was only on one cylinder (No3 in Bank 1 ) all went well for a couple of weeks. Then the code P0420 started appearing and would reappear after being cancelled. This indicated a Catalytic Converter problem on Bank 1. Eventually had the car up on a lift and found that the pipe from CAT on Bank 1 was, if tapped heavily with a fist, making a rattling sound as though as though full of bits of rubbish. A very experienced technician that was with me immediately knew that this was a bad CAT that was causing the Yellow Engine Warning Light and Code P0420. He had seen it many times before. It is apparently known that a misfiring engine can eventually "kill" a CAT, which my thinking is that it has happened to mine. None of the usual signs of CAT failure (high fuel usage, engine not running smooth, smell from the exhaust of rotten eggs etc etc) were present. I have now purchased a new Catalytic Converter (along with necessary fitting kit) and will hopefully this coming weekend be fitting the new CAT. Will report back on this matter once CAT is fitted and run for the 18 - 20 miles that it usually takes to make the P0420 code appear. Hope this may help in some fashion or form and good luck with resolving your issue. All the Best and Regards, John

Bought mine from Ebay, which was the cheapest source of that actual manufacturer at the time. Regards, John

Mick Yes the bulbs are changed, and in my humble opinion, are worth while doing. Not the cheapest bulbs but appear to have the claimed longest life, of their type. I paid £29.98p for the pair. Did not change the full beam bulbs because I found the existing ones were adequate and powerful enough. Best Wishes, John

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.

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.

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
