Test driving S-Type tomorrow - Things to look out for?
O.T.H replied to adamtk421's topic in Jaguar S-Type Club
And another good idea is to run a MOT check on the car and it will tell you the problem's the cars had in the past ????? https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/?_ga=1.167145726.1398065124.1463749831 Frank -
Yes Andrew I was the same but I do advise you to drill from the inside out with a small drill 1st as the hole in the under side of the bonnet was a fraction out of the center of the bonnet you can then correct with a larger drill.??? Some people say they do-not look good on the X Type but I think they look great. Frank

Hi David -The one suggestion I will make is that it could be a leaking injector ----It leaks into the cylinder when standing Idle then when you start the car it has to burn the excess off causing the smoke etc . Then its clear to run normally after.?? Frank

O.T.H replied to SteveSheldon's topic in Jaguar Owners Lounge
Hi to you all . I really would have liked to be with you all and meet everyone on the Brighton Convoy but unfortunately I have a very poorly wife so I am unable to attend . So I wish that you all have a good time and look forward to seeing some shot of the event in the future . all the best. Frank -
Hi Dennis . I wonder if this will help you ???? http://www.bluejag.co.uk/S-Type-keyfob-reprogramming.php All the best Frank

Hi Paul Surely if you are in cruise control and you select sports mode it will drop a gear and expect you to take control of the throttle out of cruise control . Frank

Hi Andrew --- You can get an online Hayes manual here if that helps http://www.emanualonline.com/Cars/Jaguar.htm Frank

Hi Paul I quite like it it given the interior a more sporty look and although my sporty days are over and I'm just a cruiser now I think perhaps it will appeal to the faster guys. And I will say in doing it -- it looks to me that you have done a real professional job well done. Frank

Hi Joan It could be as easy as just a bulb that's the problem has it just started doing it or has someone fitted a new bulb recently?????. Frank
-
Hi Tim it sounds as though your engine rev's on tick over are a little too high ???? Frank
-
I also welcome you both to the club and my X Type's doors lock at about 3mph as i go down my driveway . Frank

I had third party at one time [ a few years now] then found that there's not a lot of difference for the cost of fully comp . Frank
-
OK Peter there's always someone I see your your on the ball as usual . Frank

Hi Simon I agree with you on the head-gasket but in past post's David has said the waters not circulating.??? So I think if the thermostat's oK it must be the pump .???? I would have it off and check the impellers because I'm almost sure its plastic or nylon blades and I have known them to fail on other cars .????
-
Hi --I would say you have a impeller problem with the water pump as it sounds as though the waters not circulating hardly at all.?? If it was a head gasket problem enough to cause this problem it would be over pressuring the system really bad . Frank

Hi Ronnie . Welcome to the club I agree with Peter and I say the colour really suits the car and I think the black is perfect and changing the colour was a good idea. Frank
-
Yes Peter I thought the same but is Jon's petrol or diesel.?? Frank
-
I think they are great because in the winter or bad light you can remove them . Frank
-
Hi My XType - auto- is 2,500 revs @ 70 mph ??? petrol. Frank
-
Good result there rodney job well done . Frank
-
I agree- with a friendly club as this no one wants the rules pushed in front of them because they know how to conduct them self's with out that. There must be a reason why someone wants to push things close to breaking the rules all the time WHY.??? Lets keep this friendly and all enjoy the good nature of the club . Frank
