A tip for boot seals, door seals etc to revive them is to simply purchase some silicon grease from Maplins and rub it into them. Brings them back to new

I would only be able to answer your question by testing both the switch and resistor sorry. Being an electrical engineer by profession this would be my first port of call however, if you are not confident in the use of a multimeter then I suggest you take it along to a technician that can solve your problem. If you bridge the switch (short it out) and it works then I would suggest the switch if it does not work then I would suggest the resistor

Sounds very much to me that its a coolant leak due to the fact that it as been working fine for up and onwards of four weeks. If you are considering a re-gas the ensure the company performing the task carries out a pressure test in order to establish any leaks that are present.

Also just returned from holiday albeit without the XKR, thought Sicily was a little to far for a weeks holiday ha ha

Hugh, it sounds to me like an electrical plug has come adrift whilst at the body shop or if any painting was done then did any overspray get into any plug or socket causing a bad connection. Certainly sounds like a simple electrical problem albeit these sort of problems are not always easy to find. I would start by investigating the ares for which work was undertaken. Good luck, let us know how you get off

Hi Adrian and welcome to the Jaguar OWNERS CLUB. I would have one question; was the sports mode button engaged? You would note an heavy gain in power should the latter be in force to that of standard power.

Hi Pete and a warm welcome to THE Jaguar OWNERS CLUB. I cannot help you with your questions sorry however, I'm pretty sure there will be members who can

Gary, just checked it out on two websites and I'm getting the same results;

5×120.65

Ouch

Could do with this myself Stu, although I don't have an S Type my XKR passenger seat don't want to recline electrically. I can see the only fix as the seat coming out for an investigation

Hi Gary, thanks for providing the information. I would have no problem in getting to you prior to the time you leave for work however, I am unsure to the 5 x 108 bolt pattern fitting my car. I was under the impression that an XKR was 5 x 112 therefore I will need to undertake some research before committing to purchase. Th wheels would suit a purpose for me in that I am looking for a set of wheels for winter use keeping, my chrome rimmed wheels free from the salt and !Removed! thrown on our roads during winter.

Hi Gary, I am very interested in the wheels and can collect by Wednesday Next Week (Evening)due to the fact I am working close by to you. Can you please tell me the offsets? I assume they are 5 hole? would they be 112mm spacing

No Phil, its the liquid I use to clean the car then polish twice a year with Turtle Wax

Try the link below Andy it relates to 'Check you cars identity' on the DVLA's VOSA website.

As Peter have mentioned, let us know how you get on you may have a rare car there.

I wash my car each time with Triple Wax and find it an excellent product, I have been using it for years usually buy it in a 5ltr container

I took my XKR for its annual MOT Saturday past and it failed, shock, horror, dismay it cost me a small fortune to replace the O/S rear brake light lamp.

Not on the Jaguar Simon however, I have done on previous cars. I cannot truthfully say it improved performance but then others may think differently

Hi Eddie and a warm welcome to THE Jaguar OWNERS CLUB, you have stated that you are happy with the purchase, good glad to hear it. Enjoy the forum there are plenty of members who would and will be happy to offer assistance should the need arise, hopefully not

I'm 90% sure its a chain on the X Type Nigel

Hi Keith and a warm welcome to THE Jaguar OWNERS CLUB, my brother owned an XF before movie on to a 15 plate F Type it was a lovely car and the style outshines the BM's and Merc's at present. Enjoy th motor and hopefully the club

Hi Steve and welcome to THE Jaguar OWNERS CLUB. I cannot give advice as such to the S Type due to the fact I own a XKR however, deflate those tyres before they blow on you that's far to high. I just done a google search which came back with 32psi therefore the lads have given you good advice above. As for the temperature gauge my 4.2ltr V8 gets up to half way within 2 miles and sits there for another 200 miles, very constant. Stick with the parrot, best hands free on the market. Looks like you need to get someone to look at your CD changer

I use OBD11 however not from a bluetooth phone. I have it installed on my Macbook and connect via a usb and the 16 pin plug to ECU socket, usually just diagnose check for faults and it lists such then gves opportunity to clear

I wouldn't have linked the problems to a wiring loom David usually the loom only needs renewing in the event of a fire. I would be more likely to be looking at the earthing and respective relays. Good luck, let us know how you get on

I would not have thought it to be a gearbox issue with you being able to select all gears easily however, my own feelings point to the clutch pressure plate. Occasionally you can get one that cracks or the likes. I believe you are making the right move by calling the AA out, at least you are getting a decent professional opinion even if you only get the option to be towed to a place of your choice then at least, you have the opportunity of picking a garage of choice rather than Halfrauds

Hi Dean and a warm welcome to the Jaguar OWNERS CLUB. I recently purchased some new shoes for my XKR and I opted for Michelin Pilots with a good price being offered on my tyres.com

You purchase the tyres online (a wide choice) and choose the fitting centre nearest your location usually a National tyres Depot. They deliver there use choose the fitting date am/pm and the fit and balance free of charge
