Thanks for all replies. I feel I will be happier keeping to NOT using Supermarket Fuel. I like the comment about pensioners using all of their income running S Types. I certainly concur with that one. Best Wishes and Regards, John

New (upstream and downstream) Lambda`s have already been fitted to Bank 1, where the fault code is recording. Thanks and Best Wishes, John

James Plenty of new headliners on Ebay for your XJS and including a fitting service based in Preston. Yes, a fair old trip but depends on your dexterity with fitting the new one yourself. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=headliner+for+jaguar+xjs&_sacat=0 Good Luck and Best Wishes, Regards, John

Peter The removal was not easy, or more to the point is in a very awkward and hard to access place. I do have a CD of the Jaguar Workshop Manual and likewise I searched looking for information and also found nothing was forthcoming. For the sake of urgency I have purchases from a dismantler who had been very helpful to me in identifying where/how to get to the Actuator . The only fault on the removed Actuator is that a very small piece of the end black push bar has broken off. I will at least have a spare that I can fiddle with if ever necessary, as it could well be possible, if one had the patience, to rebuild this end piece. At almost 72 years I am (unfortunately) not known for my patience with fiddly little things like this. However I am not chancing it for the sake of £25. Many thanks for your help and continued interest in the outcome. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Peter Interesting post here. I have a 2005 2.5 V6 Petrol Automatic which is constantly throwing Fault Code P0420 (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold0 Bank 1. I have numerous posts on this Forum about this fault but despite many good people giving suggestions and advice we have still not got to the root of the problem. Do you think this cure of your problem could/would help my petrol engine S Type. Do you know what the process of a "Deep Catalyst" clean was. Many thanks and Best Wishes, Regards, John

Actuator now removed and Identified which replacement type I need. Has been ordered and now await delivery and then fitment. Many thanks to all members involved in advice/suggestions/photos. Regards and Best Wishes to all, John

Peter I am considering a complete new fuel filler neck, which are a bit expensive. If the U shaped springs will bend back into place it may not be necessary. I have spent an hour and a half this morning, got wet and frozen attempting to get at the actuator so as to identify which model of a possible two it is. Due to being frozen and wet I gave up and am hoping I can get my son in law to come to my rescue at some time. In the meanwhile thanks for all of your help and advice. Best wishes and Regards, John

Well the oil and pressing the release switch has certainly freed something up. However it now looks that the little black button is not on the end of the actuator arm. as I can see a very small spring like thing in view. Photo herewith. Also I still cannot figure out what is supposed to hold the two thin metal clips back in place. There dose not appear to be anywhere to hold them in place???? Looks like I shall have to go and attempt to remove the actuator unit. Many thanks and Best Wishes. John

Thank you very much for your observation and advice. I was just about to go out side and attempt to remove the actuator. I shall now go down the route you have suggested before removing anything and hopefully avoiding unnecessary work and may be even costs. Much appreciated and Best Wishes, Regards, John

It seems that there could be one of two different types of release actuator fitted to my car. I therefore intend removing the unit to identify which one it is. However I have a concern that the photos I was kindly sent by Forum member Chidders shows the two fine metal clips being retained within the filler neck unit, where as on my car they are now not retained in the filler neck unit but are poking towards the outside flap/cover.( See Photos of both above. ) Is this status because the actuator has broken and how do I get the clips back to where the photo of the correct lock shows? OR is there something else that needs attention / correction. I have located both different styles of actuator but am reluctant to by until I have firstly identified the correct part of the two, and secondly that someone has advise/commented on the positioning of the fine metal clips (as I have called them). Your urgent help would be gratefully appreciated. Best Wishes and Regards, John
