That said, my 06 cars sills are like new. 

Just behind the bumper at the rear of the back wheel. 

I sorted mine by pulling the tube out from the rear bumper and cutting the many bit off then used compressed air to blow through the tube. 

I've had my S type for 2 years now and never had a problem fuelling up!! 

Post a pic of the flap you can see. 

As for diesel pooling in the receptical, it's probably water not diesel, that's down to the drain tube being blocked.  

It ends by the back wheel and gets covered in crap thrown up by the wheels.

Well done 

 Or cut a potato in half and rub it along the blade.  

Welcome. 

Haynes didn't do a workshop manual for some reason but have a look in this link.

Hi and welcome.  

As as you've got the spares car there any loom issues shouldn't be too much of a problem. 

The interior should be a straight swap and the cruise is pretty straight forward, do a search on cruise retro fit as someone did it not long ago.

I personally would walk away from that.  

Ive had my car for nearly 2 years and have spent approximately £500 on it so far.  

Not doing too bad

If the dccv has been replaced and it's still not working correctly then it's either the dccv if still faulty or it's taken out the circuit board out in the cabin. 

 Oh.  What about a 2nd hand box?

Oh dear.

wont a flush and reflash sort it??

Well.......

ive been a tyre fitter for the last 15 or so years but mainly in truck and agriculture, big stuff that's easier to work with.

never really bothered with car stuff, 17.5 inch and above, the bigger the better!!

im "retired" now, no pun  intended 

the andy the tyre man moniker comes about from when I worked at a haulage company a few years ago,

one of the directors was also called Andy and he sounded a bit like me on the phone so if I had to ring any of the drivers or other staff it was easier to start the conversation with "hi, it's andy, the tyre man" to save confusion. 

Then it stuck as my nickname. 

Even had it on the side of my van!!h

Upgrading to an older model Andy? Sounds like there's a story there! Good call on the fishing line, better than ferking around with a scrapper or screwdriver to get them off!

I'm undecided what to do, but it's not top of my list at the moment. I'll try having a proper clean on the old one at some point, 1/2 the issue is wax on the black bits. If this doesn't yield the result I could fit the newer badges and do as you have done so effectively.

Or I'm even tempted to use the bonnet badge in this position, right hand side of boot etc. The badge came off when I fitted the bonnet leaper, it currently has pins on the back which could easily be removed and I'd expect the right adhesive would hold it in place. Not sure I've seen anyone do this before but it could look quite smart? If anything like the adhesive ring it left on the bonnet, which was a sod to remove, so it may be better to use a badge more or less the same size and shape. As I say, undecided but not a high priority!

 

No, I own the 06 diesel now.

bought the T reg one for £280 and sold it for £350 6 months later having been bitten by the jag bug!!

Hi russ, that's a pic of my old jag I had 2yrs ago.

sold for £350 and it's still in use!

kept the boxes though

the badges were off a scrapyard car and they just stick on like the badge on yours.

i removed mine with fishing line and then meths to get rid of the adhesive mark.

fitting the newer badge was a doddle. 

The later badges look good on earlier cars!!

s

Fake or not that looks fantastic 

i love my S type and the wife loves biiig pickup trucks so this would be the perfect combination.

mmmmmm interesting, wonder if there's any F150's on eBay with front end damage?? 

A small coolant leak isn't an mot failure.
