It's called a TX Valve and is under the dash. I would suggest adding some dye into the gas to establish if there is a leak as compressors in this model normally pack it in around the 160k mark and have to be replaced. Factory is around $900 and aftermarket  $400. Some times the valve will sort itself out by alternately turning the compressor on and off while driving and that has worked for me in the past.

Hi Grant, thank you for your reply it is much appreciated I can assure you. I shall give this potential fix a try, fingers crossed.

Hi Keith,

I have found eBay useful, and I have also used Jagparts247.co.uk [07748 280772] and Jagpartseuropeltd [07484 070632].

Hi chaps,

I'm on the info scrounge again my Jag has been in to my local garage, he informs me that I will need a "Climate control / sat nav unit" as the one on my car is a sealed unit so I am looking for a second hand one can anyone recommend a good place to find one. I thank you in advance and am so very appreciative of the help given so far from board members.

My very kind regards,

kgb

Hi Keith, 

I don't know anything about the air con system, but I guess that the best option is a replacement --  I would check the cost of a new one [Try Rimmer Bros and then check the cost of a second hand one.]  Fitting it could be a problem.

Regards,

Peter.

Hi Peter,

Thank you so much for your help, much appreciated.

A very good day to all members. I am seeking some guidance I have a 2006 S Type R with an air con problem, I recently tried to have the system re charged but with no joy evidently the system held a charge but no cold air so the garage chap plugged in his fault finder which came up with something about a fault with the "Gate" .

I have spoken to the chap who normally looks after my beloved car and he has said that the unit its self would cost around £800 and he would have to take the whole dash out, so it appears to be a very costly repair. I would be truly grateful to any members to share their thoughts, is a second hand unit a possibility for instance.

I do thank you in advance for any thoughts in this matter,

My kind regards,

Kgb.    

Sunny Hertfordshire. :D

Here is my Ruby.........20140630_193940.jpg20140630_194233.jpg20140630_194204.jpg20140630_194216.jpg20140630_194149.jpg

And very beautiful she is to, love the colour

Good day chaps,

If you would be kind enough I would like some thoughts and advice. I have a 2006 S-Type R and have read somewhere that changing the pulley size of the supercharger will increase the horse power.

My questions are fairly obvious, would it be sacrilege to alter the car from the standard, would the added HP be noticeable and would this type of tinkering around potentially damage the engine. Thanks in advance for any opinions or advice.   

Very nice indeed

Thanks very much, it is a joy to drive. When I first drove her I was somewhat disappointed with how she sounded so I had some bespoke rear boxes fitted which have added a few more horses to the stable and made her burble nicely, what is quite nice is when she is under some enthusiastic acceleration the sound of the exhausts in conjunction with the whine of the supercharger does bring a smile to my face I must say.  

Nice cool too, Keith. The same as mine!

Hello Peter,

My first Jag was an old XJ6 which I truly loved but some uninsured B*&^%"*D hit me from behind writing my beauty off, it was not until a friend of many years reminded me of just how much I loved Jaguars that I decided to renew my relationship with Jaguars.

Anyway I decided that I particularly like the S-Type style and thought if I were to buy one then buy the S-Type R and a !Removed! good decision it was too. :D  

Welcome to the Club, Keith.

 

There are a great number of good and friendly people around here.

 

You will enjoy your S Type, and sharing experiences is a big plus for the members of the club.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Thank you Peter, a new boy always appreciates a warm welcome.

Hi chaps,

I have just bought my 2006 S-Type R and I must say that she is everything that I expected so this being my second post on the forum I thought that I would show her off a little. Thanks Escortmad for starting this thread.

So here is my pride and joy.

A good day to you all,

As this is my first post I would like to introduce myself, my name is Keith and having just bought my S-Type R I decided that the best place for some information, help and gossip is this wonderful forum.

I shall look forward to contributing to the board and hopefully enjoying my time here.
