Hi Paul If you dont mind i would like to have a copy of that PDF, Much appreciated Regards Steve

Hi Derek If you change your battery (which looks like a good idea) remember your radio code! the guys will tell you whether i'm right or wrong on that, I'm not too sure whether such things as seat / steering column settings will be lost? regards Steve

Hi Bill i have the same S type, and my bottom LCD panel is also dim, it could be battery related, but i would think that would also affect the top screen as well? its probably just age related (not that i'm saying the older you are the dimmer you get ;) ) do you get sound through the speakers when you get a Phone call? (I am presuming you have Jag Voice or Bluetooth available) PeterW mentioned the Mute button, Volume control?? does your CD player work (give sound) Steve

Peter, Paul Totally agree with both your comments. We as owners of the Jaguar marque, enjoy both the car, and our experiences, and use this forum to share those experiences, ask for help and advice, and also offer help and advice if possible. I find the site a fantastic place to learn about my car, and if possible share some of my limited knowledge from years gone by. No one forced me to join, equally I have the right to leave if I don't like / enjoy it and its content, I would suggest this individual should excercise that freedom of choice. Regards Steve

Hi Peter I think reading the disclaimer (at the bottom of the page) would help in clarifying things for this person Regards Steve

Hi Ian not sure how yours attaches it may be different to my year, but if your interested in having a go your self (Not £40 i'm afraid!) then here is a post of my mine from earlier this year http://www.jaguarownersclub.com/forums/topic/12131-facelift-for-the-little-lady/ regards steve

Hi Rog The battery could have a dodgy cell, which could chuck up intermittent probs, my gut instinct tells me your problem could be starter motor related, sticky motor / solenoid, or perhaps just a loose electrical connection. Next time it fails to spin, give the starter motor a sharp rap with a stout bit of wood or metal bar, and try again, you may need to do this 2 or 3 times, check the wiring, if all seems well, as Tom points out I would get the battery tested. One thing in your favour at the moment, if you get stuck somewhere, being a manual you have the option of bump starting it! Good luck Steve

Cheers Russ

Guys Do they change the sound in anyway? Or would that need the whole back boxes? Steve

Thanks Guys I have an idea of the way to go now Much appreciated Steve

Anthony Have you made your phone 'Visible' to other devices?

Thanks again Chris Looked at your link, but it says 1999 - 2001 mine is 03 will the connector still be okay for mine?

Cheers Chris Very useful info, much appreciated Steve

Nick I have read many posts about problems of various types, a lot of responses do suggest a possible Battery fault causes all sorts of weird and wonderful things, perhaps the guys in the forum will comment on whether this could be a possibility, for your particular problem. Steve

Cheers Andy So if I understand correctly I take out the cd unit, leaving the bottom LCD panel in place? Then using a face plate insert the new combi unit? If I have that bit correct so far, I presume all connections are generic / standard I.e. Power / antenna / speakers? or do I need to modify the connections in someway?

Not to sure on the Radio code, but i presume you would need to contact a Jag dealer / Indy, possibly may need to provide proof of ownership as well? I guess a simple phone call would answer that. I was lucky, I found the code printed on a garage receipt when the battery was replaced before i bought her, Happy days!

Hi Andy Very much appreciate your help on this. I'm going to apologise now, as this may get painful do i need to buy a combi radio / cd unit, take out the lower section with all its buttons etc, get a Fiesta faceplate and then somehow plug it in to the car and existing speaker connectors? if memory serves the lower LCD screen also has displays regarding the phone, which i presume relates to the jaguar one if fitted, i cant off the top of my head remember what else uses that lower LCD panel, i'm at work so can't check my Apologies to Christopher also, as i'm not meaning to hi-jack your post Steve

Hi Guys Could someone explain DIN / DIN and a Half / Double DIN? i have know idea what this means, i want to replace the CD in my car (not working) and i guess i need to know what this expression means. here is my setup cheers steve

Hi Nigel As owners and drivers, I think we all feel your pain, let's hope it doesn't get any worse. As Colin said, fingers crossed, and good luck. Steve

Hi David As a suggestion, you could ask your garage, to take her for a test drive (if not done already) it may give a clearer idea of what the problem is. Let's hope the work your getting done sorts it out, keep us posted! Regards Steve

Bless her

Hi Amal I live in South East London, SE 12 just on the outskirts of lewisham, if you would ask, I'd appreciate it cheers Steve

Hi David Not an expert at all, but I'm starting to think either your spark plugs are soaked in oil or perhaps clutch / gearbox maybe two extremes I know, but just a thought. are there any noises associated with the juddering?
