 hi Dave firstly welcome to the club

i had something along the same lines  in my old x300 yrs ago, it turned out to be an engine mounting ? maybe have a look around the engine bay  and give a few things a wiggle or the exhaust pipes etc  best with two people one sat inside the car to give it a rev up & see if anything is loose etc if you cant move or see anything then it may be a trip to the garage 

I KNOW I DONT HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS BUT PLEASE KEEP YOUR HANDS & ANY LOOSE CLOTHING OUT OF THE WAY OF ANY  MOVING PARTS 

sorry i cant help any futher 

Ron 

Ok mark thanks 

 Regards 

 Ron  

Hi Clive

I have, Don't go for the cheapy 10 for a quid ones off bay of E, They start to flicker in no time, Secondly they are polarity sensitive so check they are working before plugging them back in and refitting the back covers, Lastly they can be a bit of a swine to get access to in the ns if you have hands like shovels like me!!!!!!!

hi mark i haven't checked yet i assume the side light bulbs on all x type models  are the 501 type 

Ron 

hi Roland & welcome to the club 

                                              as im down south i cant help but there will be someone here that can no doubt  good luck with the car 

Ron 

hi paul i think peter has it right and your find same of the parts in and around the engine bay  have a ford sticker or have it stamped on them 

Ron

hi steve

hi Mark welcome to the club 

 a very warm welcome to the family Kim enjoy the car

Ron  

ive never heard of them either & these are the first photos iv'e ever seen of an s type estate as well most be a concept 

plenty on that well auction site 

 hi Richard

                they go on flea bay from around £150 - £200  or you can get some good second hand ones  with a few kerb marks etc from £50 upwards 

ron 

i think Miltec have a nice sound to them i have them fitted on my r32 golf, never fitted one to a Jaguar as i think they sound nice as they are

Ron  

id get in touch with their head office

vosa should of revoked his authority to do MOT'S / and fined stratsone / and for the service manager & MD of the dealership both should be pulled over the coals for the strokes their staff have pulled.

but thanks to members likes yourself others don't get fooled the there antics. 

well done Dave 

regards Ron 

rranity

yes tony you will.  but as long as you use gen jaguar parts from an indie garage you will be ok just mind and state that to the garage you are planning to use or go to a main dealer and buy the pads from them and get the indie garage to fit them. keep the receipt

just adding my two pence worth 

 and i am not 100% about this, but was told that the indie garage if used  has to be VAT reg as well or this could invalidate your warranty as well, i don't know what it has to do with being VAT reg this is what i was told 

Ron

thanks guys for your help i only wanted them for ref / back-up just in case my code reader failed 

kind regards to all 

Ron 

hi and welcome Jon to the club,& indeed hope to see you at a few meets in the area  im in reading so not a million miles away from you 

Ron

i've had a good look peter and i couldn't find it anywhere i wasn't going to print it off just keep it on my laptop for ref & info 

Ron 

hi all 

       some time ago a member or someone put up a post about fault codes etc a list of what's what so it can be downloaded   i cant find now ? any ideas where its gone  

thanks 

Ron 

hi Jim

         forgot too say if its glued in place you may want to leave the car for 24 hrs or so, to let the glue set the trim in place.

the only reason i know this is when a dealer replaced mine on another car

Ron  

i assume you mean the trim 3/4 down on the door 

take the door card off and with the window up you should see some plastic clips about 3/4 down the door could be white / black , squeeze / pop them out and the whole thing should come away if you cant see clips then its glued in place , now when you put the new one in you may have to buy new clips only a few £ you may also need get some adhesive to keep it in place.

you will find some are just clipped in place  and some are clipped & glued depending how good a fit the moulding is 

if this is not the trim then send a photo and i will see if i can send the info you need 

hope it helps 

Ron 

hi and welcome Gordon 

what make of code reader do you have steve
