I think that the battery is overused.  The battery [in my s type] only lasts about 5 years at the most.

Peter.

Hi, Is the battery having too time when the battery is losing its element?  Sometimes the battery is using more than it should. My battery needs replacing after 5 years if not less.

Regards,

Peter.

Welcome to the Club, Geoff.

It is good to see Lancastrians. I too used to have a 2.5 Jaguar, but now a 2.7 S Type.

Regards,

Peter.

Hi Dave,

The controls take some time to get the right controls and that could be in a warmer temperature.

I hade heard that there was a very good Jaguar garage in Doncaster.

Welcome to the club, David.

My battery on the s type has connections fitted by Jaguar and nothing else.

Hope that is good.

Hi Niaz,

Sometimes the battery, however new, loses its charge because it has not been used for a few days.  The system then  will need a restart.

Yje independent Jaguar specialist will be useful and not as expensive

Welcome to the club, Niaz.

I have had that but I think that you should charge your battery delicately and then reset the windows after checking the numbers of the radio.

Peter.

Do Jaguar do a set of front & rear mudflaps for the facelift S Type R?

 

Thanks

Welcome to the club, Paul.

I have had mudflats on my s type for 8 years.  I just used my one of my local companies who provided them .  Ebay are also quite good.

Hi Ian, and welcome to the club.

What I am going to tell you could be very useful but also a little difficult.

My s type keys were causing a little problem, and,as you say, would be a bit costly to repair.

I live in Sutton Coldfield - Birmingham - and I went to a local engineer & locksmith who managed to "invent" two keys for me for £100 after they checked my electrical part of the car.

Duplicat Vehicle Locksmiths can be looked at in the Internet.  Just tell me if this is of use.

Regards,

Peter.

Welome to the Club, Keith.

I have ands type 2.7 Diesel which I have had since 2013.  Air condition is reasonably good but not as good as my wife's Toyota Yaris Hybrid.

I just wonder why?  At the moment I am not driving more than 50 miles a week so a long distance does not give me a check of the Air Condition.

Good Luck 

Regards,

Peter.

First.

Hi Tanveer,

My car has the 2.7 diesel engine —  My Mechanic is Darren and his phone call is 07799 460031.  Tell him that I have given him his number.  He has an office in Tamworth but he will also take your car for a day and pick it up for your house.

Tell him that I have passed on him from me. [Peter Lightfoot].

Regards,

Peter.
