George. Code P1260 is Theft detected, Vehical immobilized. Stan.

Hi Bryn, welcome to the club. I had a Daimler Sov 4.2 in 1980s. that was a lovely car. Have S Type now. Where in east Yorkshire are you, I have relatives in Bridlington. and I served at RAF Patrington in 1962. Lived at Sutton on Hull. Born in North Yorkshire. Regards Stan.

Hi Trevor (The XK150 ONE) Welcome aboard. used to know Penge many moons ago, in fact all SE, mainly Chrystal Palace, Sydenham. Lewisham etc. Now in Leicestershire, so to far away. 2000. S Type passed MOT today. Stan.

An other welcome from another ex RAF member. and ex Yorkshire tyke. ( and Tevor you are only a baby to Peter and myself ). Welcome to the club Nige. Stan.

Hi Bill, always nice to hear a success story. I must admit I like to do all my own work. not that I don't trust garages, just enjoy it, but getting too old for it now, like Peter.

You may have to really push in the plug. mine will sometimes not connect until I jiggle it about a bit.

This looks like a week spot, I had mine dye tested the other day, and by your description that is exactly where mine was leaking. Keep you all posted.

Had the occasion to reluctently call my local Jaguar Agent, to enquire about removing locking wheel nuts from my S Type.( my nut remover has stripped its pins). They dont supply just a new nut remover, but, if I take it to there workshop they will remove them for, wait for it, £60 odd. and sell me a set of wheel nuts for only £89.00. Guess what I did, passing my local garage that I usualy use, happened to mention it to mechanic. He removed them and wouldnt take any money. and suggested I go to local motor factors and buy a set of locking nuts, because after all my wheels are only Ford Wheels. Jop done for princely sum of £10.00. Happy or what.????

Sorry Pezzer, you dont have to be like that. Just start another post, we love to read about these problems. Regards Stan

I am up for it so far Stan.

I got it as well Stan

Just ask at Halfords for a paint with that referance, they even mix and can paint for you in aerosol cans. cost about £19.00 a can though. Stan.

OK, not a lot of response there, appear to have gone of track a little. from a/c to underseal in one easy post. Well fitted new Condenser. but still have leek and apparently it is a big one. going to check all the O rings. but there appeard to be nothing obviously leaking. Condenser was in need of changing because the bottom part was rotten.could have done without added expense though. Hope I dont have your three way valve problem Mike.

No drips on drive Peter only me. Went to have re gas done and would not work. so no gas in there. Never worked since I bought car. Discovered a badly battered condenser, so it is hand in pocket again. If you came on the M69 yesterday you passed with in a Quarter of a mile from me, we live in Burbage. Will keep you posted with developments. Stan. ps Have you seen the work involved in changing a condenser.

Anyone any ideas as to where to start looking for leaks in aircon, most obvious etc.

Sorry Mike. do`nt know what came over me. Was`nt thinking straight. Stan.

Re-set your seat and wheel movements with the seat controls etc. move them in all directions full movement. up, down, back and forward to full extent, then set to your reguired settings and try again to set memory switch. might work, mine did. it is what the hand book recomends Good luck. Stan

Colin. Sorry mate you cannot improve the looks of a Jag. Stan.

Sorry Trevor but I prefer the other one, but then I am old. nearly as old has Old Peter.

Happy Birthday for Friday Peter. Have a nice time up the lakes. Regards Stan/

And the most beautifull car you have ever driven.
