Facelift fog light removal
Our 54 plate Stype is lucky enough to have the front fog lights fitted, I need to change one but can't find how to remove it. Please can someone tell me how to remove the round fog from the front bumper.

Headlamp lense
Very impressed with the results had a ho today, only thing is there appears to be marks inside the lense so will have to get lights in bits to clean the insides of the lense then I will be very happy, will perhaps wait until the 'summer' arrives.

Yearly dead battery
Thanks for all the advice, so far since I gave the battery a good charge it has been faultless, I only use the car at weekends as I use a works van during the week. And not one flat battery, leads me to think that it was literally all the very short runs not giving the charging system chance to work. Hopefully this will be the end of my flat battery issues but will be sure to come back if I get issues

Yearly dead battery
No not tested that, exactly how do I test and what readings should I expect? I get the disconnect battery earth part but which connectors do I put the multimeter between?. Sorry but electrics baffle me ever so slightly :-(

Yearly dead battery
I had not attempted a trickle charge when 1st posted this but did do a slow charge over sat and Sunday, and it seems to of held the charge up to now, although I have not driven it but it dies lock and unlock correctly now and the alarm light is flashing merrily, so looks promising, be interesting to see if it starts on Sat when I need to drive it.

Yearly dead battery
The battery is huge, looks like it would be good for a truck! Have checked and it is the right amp. The previous owner only did very small journeys possibly 2 miles each way every day of the week, wondering if its possible that the extra winter heating, lights, heated screens etc have killed the battery off. The car probably not even fully warmed up by time it got parked every day.

S type radio fascia plate

Yearly dead battery
The last battery was over £100 from Halfords, from experience not bad batteries, will get the alternator checked out. Frustrating!

Yearly dead battery
Hi I have just acquired my first jag, I have known the car for a few years now and it's previous owner has got rid due to what has proven to be a very annoying fault. Every winter the battery fails, it is fine all year then as soon as the weather gets cold the battery has to be replaced. This surely is not right, any ideas on where to start to stop it happening.
