Pair of new headlights believe it or not for my CLK, Tonnau Cover, usual jack, spare wheel, warning triangle, electric air compressor and a few other bits of junk.

Must be hell of a car ferry from the USofA Jim:-) That date could very well conflict with us moving out of our property, the vendor wishes to complete by the 10th June

Cheers Ron, health a lot better now, Double Pneumonia hit me for six

When is it Jim? I know Crief very well, worked up there for six months and passed the distillery every Monday and Friday (Way in and Way out) so to speak.

I think it may be a little to far for her indoors and I being a good six hour drive with an average speed exceeding points on your licence. Nice village though we worked in the Ardvark

That's one nice classic car Paul, don't deserve to be parked outside a flea market though I'm guessing close by to the Lanes. That motor must be worth a few bob

Good luck Mark, you have already been given sound advice, if you let us know the colour that you are seeking then maybe others can assist you in locating one.

Thanks all, just hope we get the weather back to take the car out over the Beacons

Due to serious illness at the beginning of this year whereupon I was admitted to hospital and spent 8 or 9 weeks in Intensive Care not knowing who I was before being moved to a normal ward I decided, because the Tax was due on the Jaguar to SORN the vehicle because I did not know when I would be fit enough to drive it again.

This period is now over actually it would have been this month however, I did not see the financial point of back dating the road tax to the beginning of April when the car is stuck in the garage. I shall be taxing it on the 1st of May and cannot wait to get the car out on the open road again, top down, summer in the City :-)

Yes Peter, In my days of company cars it was Siera's, Cavalier's etc although I did earn an SD1 Rover when promoted which was very comfortable, powerful but an awful car. So a decent Jaguar with all the refinements would be a salesman's dream come true

Welcome to the Jaguar Owners Club Keith, I'm sure you are waiting in anticipation to go along pick up your new car and drive it home. I do not have a diesel Jaguar having a 4.2 V8 petrol instead however, I do have a daily run around for work which is a 2.7ltr twin turbo diesel and I find it excellent even though its made by a Jaguar rival. It is returning in excess of 50mpg on A and B roads which I find well impressive, on motorways its even better therefore, I would expect you to be getting the same fuel economy with the Jaguar 3ltr

I would tend to agree with you there Peter, they seem to be missing a wider audience within their reporting.

I am aware that there is a member of this forum interested in the aforementioned vehicle therefore, I am posting a link to a review of the car below, looks very special;

A report on the Jaguar XE S:

I cannot see as to why the auxiliary drive belt would be the cause of what you are experiencing. It should at 60 miles a day settle within a couple of weeks however, if you are feeling uncomfortable with the situation then you may wish to appoint another garage or someone like the RAC if you are a member to look at it. It could very well be that the garage who performed the work would inform you that they cannot find anything wrong because they did the work and don't wish to remedy if they can see something wrong or bought cheap after market springs.

Elliot, when I changed springs myself in the past I have noted that it takes a little time before they settle in. Very worrying I understand and cannot guarantee that this is what is happening in your case. May consider a visit to a Jaguar Independent Specialist for peace of mind.

Hello Tara, I'm in agreement with the other chaps therefore, do not believe it will be an expensive resolve to the problem, old luck.

Witch Craft, I would agree with Peter and place a fuse in each of the empty slots however on a smaller value i.e. if 15A is supposed to be the nominal fuse try a 6A and test with something that would be regarded as safe to use within that circuit

Happy that you have taken the time to browse and have a positive feel for the forum.

Welcome to The Jaguar Owners Club Yuri, I confident that if you have any questions/queries there will be a member who will be able to answer it so don't be afraid to ask.

You are a good man Frank, very helpful to a fellow member. I've never seen a micro switch intreal to the lock assembly before.

Hi Warren and welcome to The Jaguar Owners Club. If you scroll through the forum you will find Workshop manual downloads that should assist you with your dilemma. Good luck, I know exactly what it is like to be in the middle of an house build, I built my own in 2003

Apologies Bob, cannot help you there I've had no experience or contact with the X Type

Mileage Mark? Bolt on wings are so easy mate back to the good old days, I changed the wing on my SL55 which was also bolt on much better than the mig or tig welding

It sound as if I would need the references to look up which electrical diagram I would need.

Same happened to me many years ago Gerrard in my then Mini Cooper "S" (a proper one) when the milk was bought in glass bottles. Like an idiot following the purchase I placed it on the passenger seat until yes you have guessed I had to brake hard, spilt milk everywhere in the front passengers footwell. For all those who know the early Cooper S (mine was 1969) there were no electric windows so I drove around with the windows open for what seemed like ages and it was winter. Never forget that smell and would never transport milk like that again.
