DASHER

thanks everyone-has anyone serviced one themselves ??

Hi Alan,

 

The auto gearbox is  supposed to last for ever.  Some owners do change the oil occasionally.

 

I owned a Rover Sterling for over 11 years which had a dipstick to check the gearbox oil, which I did regularly but never found it wanting.

 

The Jaguar gearbox oil gets no mention at all in the Owner's Handbook.

 

I would be inclined to carry on as normal unless you get another warning.  Changing the gearbox oil is not cheap, from what I hear.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Thanks Peter

The auto gearbox fault warning came up on my s-type 2.7d 2005 last weekend  with no noticeable difference ?  When re-starting after a couple of hours it had gone out and car seemed fine. Should I attempt to service the gearbox -change Oil ?? Car has only done 67k

Thanks Trevor-I've given her a good service !! and have now found attachment points for the missing tray !  Probably try some jag breakers on the parts gateway for one -unless you know any good ones ?

Thanks Peter appreciate that-I'll do some more investigations when grille is all back together !

Hello all just bought my first ever jag unfortunately not sure if its been maltreated or not, desperately needs a service and tender care(which its having !) Does anybody know should a 2005 s-type 2.7 sport auto have a big undertray -under the engine ? mine does not have one nor does it appear to have any evidence of having one although its had a light tap on its nose with the lower grille being a bit damaged ! Other issues include intermittent fault with fuel gauge ? and lack of correct owners manual -the one I've got only lists the petrol versions in the data section ?

Any help or advice gladly received
