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

Low battery warning
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.

Issues with both rear electric windows not going up or down and central locking to rear doors.
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 Regards Peter.

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. Regards, Peter.

Remote Key replacement
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.

Air conditioning - question
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.

New S-Type Owner
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.
