Hi Les and welcome to the Jaguar Owners Club. Can I respectfully request you read my previous post to resolve the issue. I've got to assume that in your case the interior light is staying illuminated for the reason that it would drain the battery. I would not expect a door switch alone to be the cause of such a drain. The switch and its connections should be verified to be functioning and this can be proved quite easily by the use of a multimeter or similar.

Can I suggest firstly a Valet Gerard requesting the leather gets treated at the same time. Obviously mention to the valeted before employing him/her that the main reason for wanting the task undertaken is to rid the vehicle of the odours left behind by the previous owner smoking. Good luck

Hi Mick, I have no doubt that I would be able to assist you there if I had sight of a wiring diagram for your model. If you have the workshop manual then can you and me a link to the diagram?

Hi Gerrard and welcome to The Jaguar Owners Club. The members here are ever so helpful and friendly and will be only to pleased to answer any questions that may arise along the course of your ownership/membership.

Not quite sure if the wording "fortuitously" is the relevant wording however, it appears to fit in with my advice of taking it along to a body shop so good luck.

Hello JX and welcome to The Jaguar Owners Club. It is not a big job to resolve the issue with your windows however can become a little tricky. When I have done it in the past it has been a case of removing door cards etc which never seem to go back on the same. Personally I would take it along to a body shop who would be used to such issues, as Peter said don't take it to the main dealer who will only attempt to charge silly money for what can only be described as a simple job.

Hi Brent and welcome to the Jaguar Owners Club. I've not got the answers you seek however, like Peter stated I'm sure the is someone with such knowledge, good luck.

Hi Sean, obviously what both Tom and Peter have said must be considered however, being an electrical engineer I would aim for the door switch and check that it is working correctly by using a multimeter and performing an ohms check across it when its both open and closed and the checking the wiring connections at the switch.

Its very often the case that all the door switches including the boot switch is wired in series however, in your case and you only having problems with 1 door I suspect that your problem lies with either the switch or connections attached to it.

Welcome to The Jaguar Owners Club

You might want to consider Halfords! if you purchase the blades from there they will fit for a small cost, that is if you trust your local Halfrauds :-)

Lucky Big "B"

K&N usually gives that little extra sound also

Peter, Steelworker? riveting:-)

As with all cars I would have put it down to the cooling down period as Ron has suggested.

Hi Mike and welcome to 'THE JAGUAR OWNERS CLUB' Not having owned and had nothing to do with the X type I have no idea to the answer to your question however, what I would be tempted to do is as suggested earlier cross reference the parts. I would visit the EBC or similar website and look up the discs etc for your model X - Type then the exact same for the Mondeo you have in mind. If both part numbers are alike then its likely that they are the same fitment. Maybe worth checking with more than one brake manufacturer though to be absolutely sure.

When I did used to take my cars (usually company cars) to the main dealer for servicing I had very little or indeed no trust in their honesty and marked components, air filters, plugs, etc with a marker pen, that way I was in the position of approaching the service manager with evidence stating what is this bull$hiI

Hi Jason, think its now time to have the car looked at professionally buddy. Suggest you locate an Independent garage near to you.

Same stretch of road today Mazda MX5 club must be out, there must have been about 30 odd of them.

Turtle Wax hard work but very protective

11pm? just about the time they come out to play! M45 never heard of that one, live 2 far west in God's Country

Richard, I have also spent some considerable time at Sennibrige, its not what it used to be mind you. The calibre I was using however would have been 7.62 in SLR''s, GPMG's and SMG obviously in military myself to have been able to get my hands to them

I only managed to get in the Hereford United team albeit 4th,3rd,2nd and 1st Divisions. Never made it to the top but can display my Countries Cap Proudly. I was on more money from my apprenticeship £54 per week NCB in mid 70's than I was getting per game for Utd £25

Blinking heck Peter, I have been up on Pen Y Fan today 2995 feet above sea level highest mountain in South Wales and it was warmer than that albeit very windy.

I was travelling to Brecon this afternoon on the A4059 between the village of Penderyn and the Cantref Reservoir and spotted some interesting cars. The 1st car was my all time favourite Porshe (and never seen one before) a 959, it was stunning in red. It was then followed by a Mk11 Jaguar also in Red with plenty of gleaning Chrome, this was then followed by you guessed it a bright red XJS Convertible followed again by a red E - Type. Things went down hill from here because the next car was a TVR Tuscan in British Racing Green.

This stretch of road is often used by car clubs and enthusiasts due to its bendy fast corners and long straights in fact Clarkson, Hammond and May often used it for filming seen them there often.

What I seen today must have been some kind of car club meet.

If anyone fancies a meet here then can arrange, I did it for the SL Club.

I also avoid main dealers preferring instead to use a garage that I trust. There are no Indy's in my area unfortunately however, I have used a garage and trust them so continue to use them.

Peter, Professional Footballers in your neck of the woods? I played professional myself back in the 70's even gained a Welsh Cap and was managed by the greatest football player that Wales has ever produced however, the money I was being paid back then would not have bought you a clapped out Escort.
