Unfortunately the Wynns treatment hasn't had any effect, so may have to run it in the garage for an opinion on getting it sorted.

I have noticed that the heater blower is very noisy, particularly when the auto button is pressed and it's cooling the interior.

Are they just generally noisy, or is it something I should look at?

I was looking for a Haynes manual that might be useful for doing bits and pieces but there isn't one available for this model, which surprised me.

I have put in the Wynns treatment today, so hopefully that is going to cure the problem.

There is a additive you can use that is made to free off sticky valve lifters Ive never used one

so can't comment .----But i have heard of  --Wynns Hydraulic Valve Lifter Treatment --Get it from

Halfords I would think it would be cheaper than letting it get too bad and then have to replace parts.????

Thanks Frank, I will put some in and report back, hopefully it will sort it out

The Oil in the car is 10w 40 semi synthetic, which from what I have read is correct.

thanks for the replies, the previous owner had just done an Oil change on the car before I bought it, it has probably done less than 2000 miles since, I will check which Oil it has as the remaining Oil is in the boot, what is the recommended grade for this model?, maybe it is to thin?

I have been enjoying my new car, 1st Jaguar, and loving it, I have noticed a noisy tappet noise on start up, but this clears as soon as I blip the throttle.

Any suggestions or remedy for this?

The car is a 1998 4.0ltr

Hi, I have finally taken the plunge and bought myself a Jag, it's only a cheap taster to see how I like it, the car in question is a 1998 4.0 lwb sovereign.

It's only covered 107,000 and has a good history with it, obviously there are a few jobs to do, hole in bottom of wing, head lining, laquer on bonnet needs sorting, and I am sure there will be other things.

I've just done 250 miles this weekend and it drove faultlessly, so far so good.

I am sure I will be asking plenty of questions, so bear with me, it's my first Jag!
