make sure the car is secured with a decent jack underneath and put some axle stands under as well. the problem will be that if the wheels haven't been off for a while & they stick to the hub/centre an extra hard kick does the trick normally or i have seen people use a block of wood and a mallet hope it helps ron

hi Jim your find one no problem a lot of them are multi make & model units, so the hard bit is choosing which one Ron

it seems the best ones to go for are the 35w and color temp between 4 - 8k ranging from £16.99 - £70 in price no hard and fast rules except pay your money take a chance on the ones you buy ??? ( loads of info out there on this subject ) if you are charging the fog lights to hid there has to be some modification so ive been told. but as i am only changing the headlights that doesn't bother me for my upgrade so ive ordered a middle priced H1 hid kit 35w color temp 6k at a cost of £34.99p free P+p wont be putting them in until 2nd week in July ( holiday :) :) ) so will let you know how it all goes ( one other thing people check which type of blubs you have also, as i have been told some models are different.( em not sure) Ron

Dont get me wrong you can spend hundreds on one but for the DIY'ER i think a cheap or med range one is just as good the plug & play version are ok for what i needed, you may have to set it up but that takes all of 2 mins and away you go. there's loads of after market ones jim just make sure you get it right for your car. MS 309 £12.45p free p+p is the the one i got for my x type diesel 2009, not 100% sure if this one will suit yours but loads out there ron

not being funny jim i would invest in a reader ive just brought one off ebay just a cheap one for £12.50 as i had egr problems with mine and it read the cars dtc's with no problem,gave me the codes & what the problem was & even reset / deleted them it after. saved me loads of money first time out of the box ron

you may want to get one Jim did they give you have the code numbers if not mate you need to find someone to plug a reader into the car and get the codes off your cars system ron

hi jim do you have a code reader by any chance regards Ron

hi Bilal welcome to the club now to the car it looks very much like a series one xj6/v12 but ive never seen a manual gearbox version with overdrive. so i think its a xj6 series 1 looks like you have a big restoration job in front of you best of luck. Ron

hi Julien firstly welcome to the club im i to assume you brought the hard wire electric linking kit with your towbar if so it may need a update some models do (MINE didnt need it) 1. may i ask how old the caravan is 2. does the hitch have a auto sway hitch lock 3. you say you now have a heavier caravan is it within the nose weight mgtw etc etc. as far as i know the update only did the sensors & the high level light, but i have an x type 2.0 diesel 2009 so i may be wrong for your model of car sorry i couldn't help any further some other member with an xf may be able to give you the 100% answers your looking for. Ron

well blanking plate is on & egr cleaned out and all seems fine with kitty all in all about one hour cleaning & fitting and the normal cup of tea half way though. And all is true as far as i can tell the car runs and drives a lot more responsive when you put your foot down with little fuel reduction if any i still got between 56.7 - 60.4 mpg on a 46 mile trip this morning from a cold start on A + B roads stop /starting. so very happy at the moment and the best £2.95p ive ever spent. will keep all updated as & when :) :) :) :) (this is on my 2009 x type 2.0)

ive had them on most of my cars all models & makes i've found the best after market ones are helko mainly the two front doors but did fit them to an astra on all four and they seemed fine. Ron

hey peter fill a tanker up and bring it back with you, your have people coming from miles around to fill up mate at that price lol Ron

your welcome Brian and welcome to the club Ron

i did some yrs ago with the xj6 always did the trick for mine and it gave me a better responsive pedal if you know what i mean

a very big welcome to the club enjoy your car regards Ron

hello will and welcome to the club/family i agree with Paul but doubt there be a s type owners members will get back to you shortly regards Ron
