bridgeman

thank you for all the tips etc.

hi can anybody tell me is the handbrake cable adjustable under the car ??

I have fitted new pads and disks   been running now for about a month

but the leave still comes up to high and handbrake does not hold.

Hi peter wheels all changed over , but I had to fit some 5mm wheel spacers because the front wheels hit the big calipers

I think it handles better and looks better.

my step son who is a pro racing driver said he would always go for the smaller wheels.

ok thanks iam having a full laser job done today , will let you know thanks

not been knocked by me ?  just noticed wheel on flat on ground ????

ok thanks mate I will look at it weds on my day off

my drivers side rear wheel is on sitting flat

is the rear wheel camber adjustable ???????

Hi Folks

I want to change my exhaust note on my v6.

has any body changed the back boxes to custom made stainless ????

has any body fitted back boxes form another model ????/

any advise , just would like to have a little more rumble noise

just a update got a pair of stainless back boxes fitted from   ELITE AND PERFORMANCE OF DERBY  great sound now !!!!!!!!  and great service from these guys

Just guessing, but I think so.  There are three different sizes of wheels available of the S Type. There seems to be no reason why Jaguar would make differing wheels for two models manufactured at the same time.

 

16" wheels will mean cheaper tyres.        ok thanks peter my 17" wheels  need a refurb or sell them and as you say cheaper on tyres

 

Peter.

ok thanks will check the offset etc.  the wheels iam looking at are on a s type

Hi  can anyone tell me before I buy some

Will 16" wheels from a x type of the same age  fit my s type ??????

ok after not being happy with my brakes,   removed wheels etc today and found I had a crack in my front caliper  so not good

new caliper and hose fitted and bleed the brakes all better now , a good days work.

its probably only me , but after driving the wifes new citroen all weekend 

the brakes on my 2000 jaguar s type fill like they are not working.lot of travel etc

the car passed an mot in dec and I changed and checked pads and disks before mot

does anybody else think the brake pedal spongy etc  on there s type are poor ???

Hi Simon

 

I think its down to personal choice and design style really

But if it was me I would go for the 17" as cheaper on tyres and better on looks (filling the arches a little more!)

 

Regards    Trevor

good point trevor thanks I may just put the 16" on  and get the 17" refurbed

my s type has 17 " wheels / tyre but the wheels are rough and need a refurb etc

I have be offered some very good 16" wheels to fit straight on.

which are better 17 " or 16 "

any advise ?????

I know but still unsure about using wet and dry on them ????

yes ive tried tooth paste and t cut no joy    still foggy

thanks paul I will give that a go over the next few days

I will may be do it end of jan when I have a few days off

I will let you know .

thanks for the tips lads, its a diy job for me .
