  1. ABS fault

    in Jaguar S-Type Club

    Posted

    did charging your battery sort out the Fault?

    it maybe completely coincidental, but my rear wheel speed sensor failed, and it threw up ABS / DSC warnings, replace the sensor and fault now gone

  2. MOT another clean bill of Health

    in Jaguar S-Type Club

    Posted

    Hi All

    just thought I would share my good news, She sailed through and passed another MOT, with no advisories again. I have had the EML on the dash for a few months, but the AA said it was DS rear wheel speed sensor, and was safe to drive until I got it looked at (which I did) anyway got that changed yesterday before the MOT and as I said, she passed with flying colours :yahoo:

  3. Dutchy Jags an 'S'

    in New Members Introductions

    Posted

    Do you prefer Dutchy?

    your last photo was of the engine bay, you should be able to see them in either the 'S type forum' or 'All Activity' I believe the Castle Bromwich site was the place were these and possibly other models were produced. Peter (Old Peter) has a fantastic knowledge of the Jaguar Marque, he will be able to provide so much more information than I could possibly do.

    Both you and your good lady, enjoy the sunsets as your cruising around the Gold coast!

  7. phone not fitted

    in Jaguar X-Type Club

    Posted

    hi Tony

    I have the Parrot system in my car, kindly left by a previous owner, I can confirm it works really well, if I had one complaint, the remote gadget (which you can fix in a place that is conveinient for you) is a pain in the proverbial! it works when it wants, even though I replaced it last year. and as Dave said above, getting music off your phone is reltavley straight forward

  12. Tyre noise

    in Jaguar X-Type Club

    Hi Rod

    Just a few ideas, Bushes / Alignment / Shock absorbers / steering rack mounts are you getting any feedback via the steering wheel? I don't know anything about X types, is that a front wheel drive or AWD

  13. Alarm sensitivity

    in Jaguar S-Type Club

    Posted

    Many Thanks Guys

    Joe that is extremely helpful, and very useful. I presume that is a back up sounder? will there be any affect on central locking or the main Horn? I also presume, no special security fittings are used to stop tampering?

    Again thanks for all your input

    Regards

    Cheers Joe

    Well the alarm went off again yesterday, it has to be heat, the front of the car was bathed in sun for several hours, I don't suppose there is a way to isolate it manually? if anyone should know please PM me so the info is not out there for any Tom, !Removed! & Harry to view, I'm aware a disabled alarm will invalidate insurance

    Thanks for the input chaps

    Russ

    thanks for asking, I'm fine thanks, I was made redundant in October after 12 years in the role, so just decided to take some time out for myself, including staying away from computers! but now I'm back in the job search market, hopefully getting an interview next week (Fingers crossed) so just goes to show what I was doing whilst at work, Yes, Contributing to the JOC! :yes: 

    It would appear that 1 click locks & alarms, 2nd click activates the dead locks, I have turned the car around, (The Van & car are south facing) as we are expecting some sunny days down here (Caravan site) the passenger side will get the bulk of the sun, drivers side very little, as the shadow from the Van will quickly put the car in the shade, so will be interesting to see what happens....

    Joe

    Thanks for the info, that sounds like a Main Dealer type job, (I still have yet to find a decent Indie that I would trust) do you have an idea where about the unit is? if its easily accessible, I may try some form of extra insulation

    Many thanks again Guys

    Regards

    Hi Guys

    Apologies for bringing this up again, and for not contributing to the JOC for quite a while.

    I am currently at my caravan, and the alarm has tripped 2 or 3 times in the last 4 or 5 days! it  would seem the initial complaint from a neighbour was valid. I am now convinced its because the sun is shining directly on the drivers side, which would make for extremely awkward parking at home, as previously mentioned the car gets parked in a cul-de-sac where the sun travels from one side to the other.

    has anyone experienced this and found a solution? perhaps extra insulation in an area around the alarm control module (or whatever its called?)

    as always any help greatly appreciated

    Regards

    Steve

  18. Can the EPB engage whilst driving?

    in Jaguar S-Type Club

    Posted

    Hi All

    quite an important question, I have just bought SWMBO a puppy, and it occurred to me, if the dog should manage to step on the brake lever whilst I'm driving, would it engage? I'm not sure whether there is a speed sensor or something that's restricts it from operating over certain speeds 

    I know it (the dog) should be strapped in so to speak, but I haven't got a harness small enough at the moment, nor a traveling cage / box for the back seat. When we brought it home it was in its bed on my missus lap, and was quite unsettled as it's not use to cars

    Until I get something sorted to transport the dog any info on this would be much appreciated 

    Regards

    Steve

    Hi Gerald 

    my guess would be HT leads to plugs? but as I'm sure you are aware, a fire in the engine bay is a no no! (I'm not sure where the fuel line enters the engine bay?) either way I think the manifold will have to come off, I suppose one advantage is you can check the condition of your plugs etc whilst it's off?

    regards

  21. Retrofit Bluetooth/Voice and power folding mirrors

    in Jaguar S-Type Club

    Posted

    Hi Phil

    firstly welcome to the JOC! 

    Thats exceptionally low mileage for an 06, she must be almost mint condition?

    You will find a lot of help available from the guys in the owners club, and I know the retro fits you are looking for have been done by some of the guys. I'm sure they will reply shortly.

    mine is also basic spec, however my mirrors do fold, using the circular button on the drivers door arm rest (press it once at the 6 o'clock position) I am presuming your mirrors have the motors already in place of course, there is a way to retro fit so they fold when using the fob (but that's way out of my league in terms of How!) no heated seats, never had them so certainly don't miss them, mine also did not have Jag voice, but previous owner did leave the parrot system, which after a bit of faffing now works perfectly with my phone for calls and music off the phone. Your audio system sounds like the basic type, unless it has 'Alpine' badges on the speaker covers? In which case it's the premium system, if that's of interest to you as well, one of the guys has also swapped the basic and upgraded to the premium system as well!

    anyway as I said I'm sure you will have some replies shortly 

    Regards

  22. S Type "SPORT 200" have done a bit of digging!

    Hi Amardeep

    looking forward to seeing her :yes: mine didn't have the mesh grille when I bought her, I did that mod myself, it originally had the vertical slat type grille I believe they are called "Waterfall " very scary cutting the slats out! but the end result is very satisfying.

    i posted a topic about the work with pictures. I know yours already has the mesh type fitted, but I'll find it if you're interested? 

    Regards

    Steve
