Hi, again. the fob that i got with my 99 s-type doesnt seem to activate any locks. however if i manually unlock the car and press the trunk release button that works. i have also set off the alarm a couple of times messing around with it! it is old and the ideograms have worn off on the top two circular buttons. any suggestions? thanks Mark

Ray, you have helped more than you think... you have calmed my worries a little as i have two people who have suggested air leaks and a post else where that said they had a problem with an air leak in the gasket of the throttle body. il get a better look tomorrow, i am loosing daylight now and its raining :( thanks man

Hi everyone. im new here and new to Jaguars, i bought my 99 s-type today! on viewing the car the engine was fine, really smooth, it is definitely not misfiring. i have read a few post on the internet about idle problems but i thought id ask here... when sat in park or at a junction with my foot on the break (for an extended period) the car will slowly start to idle oddly (revs drop and increase, drop and increase... it even cut out once). i have had cars do this before and it was the IAC valve. a friend of my fathers said it could be an air leak in the intake (after the air mass sensor). just wondering if anyone else has played around with a problem like this and if they could suggest the cheap fixes to start off with before changing coils and plugs etc.. the car as 100k miles and full service history thanks Mark :)
