Thanks Richard.

All sensors working. I even tried replacing the control box without any success.

I have ordered the same beeper as shown in your post so should it work, then fine. If not then £10 not such a big loss.

I will keep you posted.

Even considered fitting a reversing camera and video adapter for the built in screen so we shall see how it goes.

Regards

Stewart

Will have to try this.

My reverse no longer "beeps" and it never occurred to me to consider there was a "beeper" anywhere. Strange really as I have fitted reversing sensors to my Puma complete with "beep"!

Reminds me of advice about eliminating the obvious!

Thanks for the post.

Evening all

Just thought I would post a picture of the air filter replaced in my S Type today.

A good car that has been serviced by main dealers - should I name them?

Anyway, the one man non-franchised garage (he also looks after my other cat - Ford Puma) who serviced my car said this air filter must have been in for years. Why did the main dealers not change this before now?

Just goes to show if you can find "a man" to look after your cars they are worth looking after and giving them your business.

Hello all

When cold, I ease off the throttle to engage 6th gear above 50mph.

When warmed up 6th gear comes in on its own just above 50 mph.

The diesel engine does takes a long time to warm up, especially this time of year.

It's been like this since I bought the car two years ago - 52,000 miles on the clock.

Stewart

Thanks Peter and Harv

I have been quoted £500 for undersealing, including removal of sills. I bought some of the plastic clips as advised by the rustproofer.

Given Harv's comment about build up of "wet muck" I will get it done.

Love the car and never cease to amazed by it's comfort, ease of driving and effortless power - and the economy of a smaller car on a run!

Thanks again.

Good morning

I am contemplating having my 2007 S Type professionally undersealed. The car has 60,000 miles on the clock.

Will this be worthwhile or did Jaguar build in enough rust protection?

Stewart

Thank you Peter, I shall have a look.

Evening all.

My S Type was registered in January 2008. As production ceased in the same year, how would I find out how many were produced after mine?

Thanks for any advice.

Hello Kenny

As far as I know it is some sort of chemical compound (not diluted) with higher boiling point and less corrosive aspects than water and antifreeze combined.

Does anyone have experience of using waterless coolant in their S Type diesel - or other types?

Stewart

Hello Richard

My daughter drove TT Quattro and like you I found the ride hard. My last car was a Mazda 6 with 18 inch wheels and was a significantly harder ride than the previous Mazda 6 with 17 inch wheels!

Stewart

Ps. I also drive a Ford Puma - probably quicker and more nimble than my S Type but opposite in every other way.

Both are fun to drive in different ways!

Hello Richard and Karen

Bought my first Jaguar S Type (with "devil's fuel" - not true) last November and I am getting to love the effortlessness of power delivery. I tootle around in it - but put it in Sport mode and - whoosh, off it flies!

We don't buy Jaguars for fuel economy but 35 mpg just knocking about and 45 mpg on a long run is a bonus. The S Type is styled like the Jags I grew up admiring so was my car of choice. An XF is the modern style and not to my taste but they are brilliant cars with the benefit of updated technology.

Buy the best you can afford and enjoy!

Stewart

Hello

One of my daughters lives in Newton Abbot but we always travel by train. Too far to drive for me, even in a Jaguar!

Hello all

Are there any independent Jaguar specialists near Newcastle upon Tyne?

Thanks

Stewart

Cramlington, Northumberland.

Hello all

Sorry for the delayed response but thank you for your advice.

I will explore the gearbox Oil change.

Is this not a service item?

The next service is due in October.

Regards

Stewart

Thank you Trevor

Funnily enough I did read somewhere about that.

I shall get it checked.

Hello all

A newbie to Jaguar OC.

I have a 2007 S Type diesel with 53,000 miles on the clock.

Most of the time the drive is very smooth except when moving slowly (traffic). At about 1500 rpm and 30 mph there is a noticeable vibration from the drivetrain. It goes as soon as my foot lifts off the accelerator.

Under power there is no vibration, goes like the wind and all gears change as they should.

Your ideas will be much appreciated.

Thank you

Stewart in Northumberland
