Had a similar problem on a peugot 206cc turned out there was a bearing sitting on top of the strut that had cracked after the previous owner hit a pothole. Think from memory there is a rubber damper on the top of the strut on the jags also

Have you had the shock absorber top mount checked not sure if there is a bush or a bearing

Thanks joe But as previously said mechanicals and body work i can do electrics is not my thing. May try to get a wnd hand unit from an xf and see if it will work

Thank you for the reply. The reason i asked this question is on my 52 s type se+ the wing mirrors folded on locking from the keyfob. Also my 08 xf does the same. Is it possible to fit the xf module to and s type.as would prefer a plug and play solution rather than play around with it myself .mechanics and body work i can do . Electrics is s dark art

Hi all. Looking for some info. I have a 2007(56) 2.7d s type s I has folding mirrors but i cannot get them to fold in automatically when i lock the car. Manual folding works fine. Am i or is the car missing something . . Many thanks

Have you had the sock absorber top mount checked not sure if there is a bearing on the top of the shock or just the rubber mount.may even be the collar at the top of the spring.

Body panels still available

Try mark at jagrar he currently has a few s types he is breaking so may have a good condition seal

Reading a lot of peoples comments both here and elsewhere on the web have noticed a regular problem "REAR SUBFRAME FAILURE/ROT" I have a 1999 3.0 manual and a 53 2.5 auto and the early one has failed mot due to the above have bought a second hand subframe but it also has a few week spots on close inspection have had these repaired before I fit but was wondering if it is possible to modify the later model subframe to fit as it seems the later models don t suffer quite so much with this problem. I have removed a subframe previouly when I broke a 3.0se so not a major job but would prefer to fit it just once and not have to replace again in a few years time or does anyone know a firm or person who refurbishes or re manufactures the subframes All advise and info gratefully accepted darren

I picked up a 3.0 manual on a T plate for £650.00 and transfered my 3.0 se interior into it along with thd wheels etc if your lookinv for a newer model look at getting the sport model with as many factory options but a cloth intrrior as there are quiet a few se and even type R interiors around for resonable money . I also fitted a cone airfilter which 1 makes it sound a bit meatier but also has given me more throttle response but reduced fuel consumption now averaging 28 mpg on local trips and 34 plus on a run only thing to make sure is mot as new as poss or if not give the rear subframe a close inspection as mine just failed due to this but luckily picked up another for a song

I own a 3.0 manual and have to admit its more fun and usable than the auto I had that died through gearbox failure. tye manuals do seem to be a little cheaper than the auto s why not pic up a good reasonable price manual and spec it up ?

Added a £25 main beam kit from ebay ( china ) great improvement on standard light will upgrade dip lights during summer not problem with 2 mot s also as for the adjusters on the lights failing again I bought an aftermarket kit ( contains both sides in the kit adjusters and mountings instead of being made just from plastic like the original ones in the lights these are steel reinforced resin fitted with no problem and feel much more stable than the the originals that crumbled like a sugar cube

The toothpaste worked for me but used the one designed for dentures had a better result

Sorry but the whole centre consol was the firstvitem to go

Yes I still have the cd changer and also the power steering pump pump is £14.00 changer is £25 you can either collect or arrange for postage
