No Peter, I've got third party.

Thanks everyone. Autoglass will be fitting a new windscreen tomorrow. The cost? £620.10!!!

Thanks for this Steve. I now know that I don't have a heated front screen. (or sat nav!) I just need to find out if the windscreen is heated where the wipers come to rest now. I don't know whether this would be automatic or via a manual switch.

Forget that I asked. I'll work it out.

" Oh and twin 5in oval powerflow stainless back boxes."

Is that above your boy racer exhaust?

Hi everyone. I have a 20cm crack in my windscreen, going from top to bottom on the drivers side. I contacted Autoglass for a quote & they sent this reply: " Is the windscreen heated where the wipers come to rest? If no, is the windscreen heated? If no, do you have a rear view mirror attached to the windscreen or a fitting for one?" How would I know if it's heated where the wipers come to rest or if the windscreen's heated? I can obviously see that the rear view mirror is attached to the windscreen, but the heated windscreen... I need to get this right, or I could be opening a big can of worms! I contacted Jaguar, when I bought the car 6 months ago & they told me that there were no added extras on my car. Was the heated wiper/ windscreen an added extra option or were they standard on all S-Types in 2003? I appreciate any help that you can give to me.

Have we got any electricians in the group? I had a warning light telling me that the right hand rear brake light was not working, so I bought a new bulb & fitted it. Now it lights, but VERY dim. What do you think the problem is?

Hi Peter. The company I contacted was Euro Car Parts. :'(

I wonder if anyone has any knowledge or experience on this. I want to replace the brake discs front & rear on my 2003 S-Type 3.0 Sport. I contacted a company on line, giving them my registration number & VIN. They replied that there are two different makes for my braking system. One is LUCAS & the other is TEVES, & it is important to know which ones I have fitted. My question is, are they radically different? How do I find which ones I have?

I finally did the headlight & took a photo of the clip, for anyone else tying to change the bulb. I think it can be done in situ once you know how to open the clip!

The floor mats were looking old & worn, so I looked around for some more. I didn't have much luck, so I decided to renovate them myself. They now look like new!

Does anyone know how to remove the dipped beam headlamp bulb from an S-Type 2003. There's a spring clip, but I can't see how it unclips... :(

The pipe behind the weld is 50mm & the chrome finisher is 75mm. I guess I'll have to cut them off.

My tailpipe finishers are welded on. Do I have to cut them off? If so, what's the inside diameter of the new tailpipe finishers?
