  1. Retrofit.
    I would really like to get interactive cruise control installed on my XJR575 (X351) There is a company in Essex who do the job but there is no way I can get to them from Wolverhampton.
    Does anybody know of somebody who could do the job within the West Midlands or even a mobile service please?
  2. When I bought my XJR last December there was no handbook wallet with it and enquiries with JLR confirmed that it was only available as a complete wallet pack which has to be individually ordered from the original publisher via JLR given the VIN number for the car.

    I'm not even going to say how much it cost 😉and how long it took to actually materialise.

    In the meantime, the rep who sold me the car managed to locate the original car documentation wallet for me, rendering the new pack of no use to me.

    Would the brand new pack ( still in original box} be of use to anybody? The car is a 2018 X351 and is the same for all the models apparently.

  3. There is one place, where I'm turning right into a road and I get an audio warning tone of two beeps but no visual indication that I can see.

    It only ever happens in one spot and there doesn't seem to be anything specific in the street to suggest a cause.

    It's only in my XJR575. No grief, just puzzled?

    Any (reasonable) ideas please?

  4. The XF is going and for my Birthday and start of retirement I had decided to go for something less flamboyant and lower performance as a nice little runaround.... NOT 😉

    And here she is:-  Deposit paid and due for arrival mid December.  She has just about every bell and whistle on board as well 😉

    For those who have less than  perfect sight, the red text to the left of the "R" badge on the boot lid is:- 5...7...5 🙂

  5. The final decision is made, assuming it will fit in my garage ( modifications to the garage acceptable), and a kind forum member is going to bring his X351 over soon to see if anything needs doing. She's going to be a XJR575 2018 0r 2019 if I can find one. Following recent surgery, it has become clear that I don't need a wheelchair so full steam ahead 🙂 Having said that, the car I want, with Ivory leather is rarer than hen's teeth, but I've got a few months and £50k to make it so. Insurance isn't that bad either, including pulley mods and a suitable re-map. Plenty of room in the boot for the angling kit as well 🙂 Anybody want a well fettled XF-S Portfolio? Anybody seen a decent XJR575 with Ivory leather for sale?

  6. Several members of this forum are aware of my present situation and have been asked to keep it to themselves, however, I feel that I should perhaps update anybody who is concerned.

    We are currently having to deal with the very real possibility that my Wife's breast cancer has returned. In addition, I have just been allowed home following somewhat major surgery. Apologies if these things got in the way of the standard of service some VERY new members appear to expect from me.

    OTH kindly took the trouble to hint that sometimes people are not available, thanks BTW Frank, but clearly that cut no ice with certain new members whose enthusiasm for the forum as a whole, is clearly evidenced by your singular lack of any input other than to harrangue me.

    As far as PMs go, one unanswered should have been sufficient. I did not need the follow up.

    Those who use this forum on a regular basis will be aware that I tend to try assisting where possible as fully as possible and as fast as possible, even as far as hosting people and their cars at my house free of charge and usually with lunch thrown in. I will, of course, endeavour to continue to do so as time and circumstance permit.

    As to the answer to certain questions of a technical nature? Well, I am still perfectly willing to assist those I can but for some reason I appear to become flustered when pressured / harangued,becoming unable to recall the required detail, unfortunately. However, I am by no means the only forum member with experience of the electronic functions of the S-Type and I fel sure they will be able to assist, approached in a reasonable manner.

    Please be aware that, although I am, for the moment at least, a moderator on this forum, my comments above are my own personal views and do not reflect the views of the forum admin. Therefore those who might feel offended by my candour should, if required, raise it with the admin.

    Finally, to all of those who have wished us well and offered support I would like to thank you sincerely on behalf of us both 🙂  Nil carborundum illigitimum.
