I have available a driveshaft/hub assembly from a 2005 S Type 2.7D n/s/r. No ABS sensor. There are two types of ABS sensor/ring so please see photos. £120.00 delivered to UK.

My auto wipe feature does not work properly, just an intermittent wipe even when not raining. Could it be the windscreen sensor? Wiring seems ok.

.  I have available wiper stalk for S type 05, non auto wipe. 2R83 17A553 B .    £20.00 including UK postage.

Hi

If you search epb loads come up, this must come up every week

Most common when your battery gets low

You need to plug in with jaguar software will tell you the exact fault

Going to be either a low battery, stiff hand brake cables, when the rubber boots perish they get wet and freeze this time of year, faulty epb motor or stiff calipers

Software will tell you exact fault, epb monitors position of parked and released, motor current, if these are not correct, then it faults, battery disconnect usually cures it, unless fault still there

Cheers Joe

 

Ok Thanks. Its not battery, I don't think, as its quite new. Calipers have new slider pins. Could it be brake module?

I have a 2005 S type 2.7 D. Yesterday handbrake would not release. In order to release we cut the power supply. Any one have any idea what caused this? Never had any such problem before.

Thanks for all your posts. I will use recirculate button for now. Perhaps pull fuse in spring.

I have a S type 05 model 2.7 D. It appears that the pre heater is emitting large amounts of smoke on start up. This only started recently. If car is standing this is then blown into car via ventilation system. Any one any idea?

I have an S type 2.7 D. I have an intermittent problem with all four windows. Sometimes they work but sometimes they dont. This applies to all windows, but they will go/down up via remote fob.

Any advice?

My S Type auto has developed sharp gear changes, but only when cold, it is fine when warmed up . As it is a sealed for life system I cannot check levels. Car done 80,000 miles, 11 years old.

Anyone help?

Cant hear anything. Its as if there is no power. Could it be the regulator I wonder?

Hi, thanks for that. I have checked fuse and is/was ok. I still have problem though. Any ideas?

I have had an intermittent problem with ALL windows not opening/closing on my S type. Now not worked for two days. I want to check the fuse no 22 .  How do I access fuse box in passenger side?

I intend to do a headlight upgrade to xenon. I know that the bumper needs to be removed. On a preliminary inspection I noted all the bolts and screws that need to be unscrewed. Once that is done how easy does the bumper come off and how?  Any input would be appreciated.

I have a 2005 S Type. I need a threshold plate in warm charcoal for drivers door. It is approx 23 ins long by 2.5 ins.wide. I have tried many breakers without success. There are no new available at Jaguar.

Firstly the heat problem is more than likely the DCCV valve (dual climate control valve) or the wires coming out of it. I had the same problem. The valve is designed to be fully open (full heat) if there is no current and as you adjust the heating, the current increases closing the valve, so no power = full heat. there re three wires going into the valve. From the drivers seat perspective the left most wire is the current feed for passenger (left) side of car. Middle wire is common earth and right wire is current feed for right (drivers) side. The wires go into a single 3 prong plug which plugs into the DCCV valve. There is insulation round them and they may look ok but a gentle pull and if there is a broken wire the insulation will fall away. A simple solder will sort it out.

 

The DCCV on the 2.7  diesel is located just behind the front drivers side fog lamp. You will need to access it from underneath. If it is the wires you should not have to remove the valve but can work on the wires in situ.

 

If the wiring is ok then it is more than likely the valve itself, It's a simple job to remove once you access it. When you disconnect the coolant pipes, quickly stick some wine corks in the open ends of the pipes to prevent the coolant leaking away. If the valve is suspect, use a car battery and test the valve operation. negative to centre pin and positive to the other pins one at a time, you should hear the valves open and close (loud click).

 

A WORD OF WARNING. **** Do not continue to use the car until this is fixed**** . Faulty valve / wiring can damage the climate control head unit and this is very expensive and difficult to obtain. 

 

Regarding the keys, one of mine was like this. carefully open up the key and check for dry joints in the soldering. A careful solder over the soldered pins of the components should fix things. If you want to speak about the DCCV I can give you my phone number and we can speak.

Your phone number would be great please.

I have just recently acquired an s type2.7d se. One  side (nearside)of the climate control will not go cold. I suspect a sensor? Any comments would be appreciated. Also I have two keys in which I have inserted new batteries. One fob locks the car remotely but will not open it. The other will not work on remote at all. Again , any advice?

I have available a book pack for an S Type. £10.00 just to cover post and packaging.

Thanks . I have just checked the fuse. No3 is missing!

Yes I know and I try to! Its the fumes that are a problem.

Thanks for all your replies guys. I am still getting exhaust fumes in the cabin whilst the car is in standing traffic, not all the time though, but when car is hot. We have checked exhaust pipes, all are ok. Had new DPF. This light does come on after a couple of days on short journeys but I reset it and its ok. Any more ideas?

Many thanks for your replies. I will investigate to flxi pipe matter further.

Its more an exhaust smell. I have had a look and cant see or smell any diesel. The smell only comes in on drivers side vents. When running there is no apparent smell.

My S type recently had,under warranty, a new DPF fitted and one new leaky injector which leaked diesel onto manifold. However when I am stationery I still get a bit of a smell. Anyone got an idea as to what it could be?
