Jag engine kit car

Hello,

I have removed everything engine , looms, steering column , fuel tank, ecus from a 2001 s type jag 3.0 v6 manual and placed them on the floor in my garage for a kit car project.

As soon as I put the key into the barrel and turn it , it comes up with steering column lock fault on the dash and will not let me start the car. I have removed the lock by drilling out the pins and tried to hole to sensor in to trick the ecu but no luck.

I have basically removed the hole inside of the jag and set it up on my garage floor, any ideas what has set off this code and how can I remove it. I wanted to keep the Jaguar set up nice and standard to keep away from mapping ecus

Any info will be of help along with the clutch change topic I also started.

Hello , first post on the forum. I have bought a complete s type car 3.0 v6 manual which I have removed the engine and gear box to fit into my kit car project. I have noticed the rear crank Oil seal is leaking so I will need to locate a new one but most of all the clutch is well used.

As I have the engine out I have planned to change the clutch and this is where I discovered a dual mass fly wheel.

I'm told this part should also be changed as the car has covered 82k ?

My model of s type is a earlier model been x reg 2001 and the clutch kit seams to be double the price of a 2003 onwards

Can anyone tell me the difference ?

As I said before the plan is to fit it all into a kit car, are there any other clutch options out there ie solid flywheel to fit get rag gear box,

Any info will be of use,

Mark
