Had it done, still no cold air but thanks for your help.

Hi everyone, anyone replaced their compressor on a 2.7 diesel 2005. anyone had it done and at what cost. Much sucking of teeth at local garages.

Looking good at the moment Peter.

Black S Type pictured at start of the new Magnum advert, anybodies we know ?

£265 for my S type diesel, not on agreed mileage.

Ok Peter, will repost later in the year.

Looks like no interest so I'll shelve that idea.

Looking like the 29th May maybe, anyone else?

I am thinking that perhaps a race meeting at Mallory Park as there is room in the car park to display the Jags and watch the racing at the same time, they have a meeting which includes Jag saloons including an S type. The entry is very reasonable, less than £10 I think incl. car park. Anyone interested? Maybe a barbeque.

Don't know if you remember me Peter but I was the second to show at Gaydon last year, the red S parked next to you.

I was thinking more of somewhere to show off the marque to the great unwashed.

Anyone else going, didn't have too many last time about 10 of us I think.

Anybody interested in a meetup soon, maybe at a race meeting Donington, Mallory or Silverstone maybe. Open to all Jags and drivers both of any age. Could arrange amusements like dwarf throwing or wife/girlfriend or neighbours wife carrying. All ideas welcome.

Brilliant, treat yourself to a cold one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fingers crossed, love to you both.

Hi,

Any idea how easy it is to replace the air con compressor, anything to watch out for ? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks boys, will do !

In September on the motorway my 05 2.7 diesel showed restricted performance mode warning but without loss of power, I got to my destination and on return to the car the warning lights were back to normal I had done about 30 miles on the motorway when this occurred.

On Friday past I was travelling to Gatwick on the motorway and after about 60 miles the same warning light came on and I lost a lot of power, I managed to get to the hard shoulder and then the car cut out totally, very scary, I also had a message to say about the handbrake was on but it wasn't. After trying to restart 4 or 5 times it restarted and I carried on to Gatwick and back home 180 miles without problem.

Got me a bit scared when it happened on the motorway, scared it might happen again, any ideas anyone? 

Any idea anyone how many S types where built?

Nice to put a face to the names, nice people, thanks to Peter, nice motors too!

I'll be there S type.

Had this with my Merc, turned out it was the engine heater, might help.

Sounds as if this is the same so I will have a go as soon as I can, hate moving, missus takes up all my time. No not like that.

Have tried the centre console switch which does open the door and the speed lock does work, any ideas Raistlin mate?
