Still no stickers >????

Sorry I should have put this in == http://www.eurocarparts.com/locking-wheel-kits?gclid=CNmyx5fD-sECFQPMtAod-CoAog Frank

Hi ..Cliff perhaps you could do the same as a freind of mine he fitted two lock nuts to each wheel they are different so that you need two key nuts to remove the wheel---Just a thought ??? Frank

Hi Declan--Its hard to say what the problem is-- but-- if I was you I would check for a air intake pipe could be loose or is split this would give you the problem + did you say you had replaced the plugs .??? Frank

I would still check the plugs if I was you because one or two of them could be breaking down under pressure or the gap not what it should be ??? Frank

I also took out a premium membership about 4 weeks ago I soon had the Halfords card through the post but no stickers .????? Frank

Sorry to hear its the diff but you must beable to pick up a good secondhand one quite cheep well I think thats what I would do ??? Frank

Hi Richard I think if I was you I would first check your -Tye-rod ends for play or when you move them if they feel rough.???? Plus check all suspention joints for play etc Its stange that your engine mounts have gone are you sure on that.??? Frank

Hi David Sorry thats just the bearing I was thinking it was like the X type that just bolt on so this is the compeat S type I think ??? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HUB-CARRIER-NEW-WHEEL-BEARING-COMPLETE-REAR-RIGHT-Jaguar-S-Type-1999-2002-/281381718002?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4183a847f2 Frank

Hi David The cheepest way would be to go on Ebay and get the compleat assembly I think ??? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CONTINENTAL-REAR-WHEEL-BEARING-KIT-FOR-JAGUAR-S-TYPE-2-5-2002-CDK3688-/331286565468?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AJaguar|Model%3AS-Type|Cars+Year%3A2002&hash=item4d2237d25c Frank

Hi -- My X Type as I said in a past post failed its test because of rusty sills [i didnt look at them when I bought it ] but I never paid over the top for the car so I had them replaced cost about £500 it seems as I was told this is a fault with some not all x type up to the 2004--2005 a bad batch of sills or somethig like that ---The thing is you can't see them very well because of the plastic cover sill so its worth a check you can get a srew-driver behind to find out.???

Hi Dave ..You can just get your fingers or a srew driver behind the plastic sill's to check but saying that if its just had a MOT you should be safe as well .??? Becareful thats the best way .?? The cost to have new ones welded in is about = £500 to £650 at a small garage.?? You will not regret buying a X type I'm really enjoying mine . Frank

I really love my X type I have always wanted one then my dream came true ...I don't know what year you are looking for but if its before 2004 the sills under the plastic covers they are some times a little rusty and a M O T fail.???---££££££ Beautiful car go for it . Frank

Thank's Charlie --I put the post up just in case someeone else had the same problem .??? Because I thought there was a ring on the fronts .?? Stil its sorted now for only a few £'s.

Checked the wiring and it seemed OK ,?? But I decided to get a new cable --from the sensor to the 1st connector under the wing £6,50 from eBay ---Fitted it and "BINGO" no lights on the dash -Perfect . The reason I have told all this is because what looked to be a expensive fault was nothing really . Frank

I really love my X type I drove a few Jaguars in the 60's when I worked in a garage I was a car mechanic then served my apprentice and everything but latter I turned my skills to trucks etc . My dream was to own a x type when they first came out but I was always too busy to think about cars .but I'm a old gent now so I am now really happy to own one its so good to be able to go somewhere cruising at a nice speed in comfort . Frank

Hi Jeremy Go onto ebay and find --Auto Reserve or Tel ..01158372707. They are Jaguar Dismantlers they have new and used parts , All parts Guaranteed With OK prices. Frank

Happy Birthday Trevor. They also say life starts at 65 so have a good life and all the best . Frank

Back to my ABS light .......The exchange drive-shaft arrived only to find it had no ABS ring on it .??????? There's nothing wrong with my drive-shaft so they took the new one back -thank goodness-.??? I thought the next best step would be to go to the Jaguar dealers and talk to the parts dept so when I ask for a new ring the very nice man said my X type model doesn't have a ring because the sensor works off the front bearing ..."WOW" . Some people said it didnt have ABS on the front they was meaning no ABS ring on the front.?? I thanked him very much and I will have to check the wiring or have it checked a gain to see if I am working on the correct wheel .....Well you never know........??????

I am also very sorry to hear of your loss . Frank
