Yes I use the term "Lets take the Jag" never really thought about it until I read this post.

I have a flapping type noise when keys are out of the car & i'm getting out so I just sat & listened & I think it is the climate control flaps opening or closing. Nothing to worry about as far as I know it is normal

Just buy a XF then you can keep the disk :D

The thing is I double checked & put in my car manually but still when I looked at the filters it came up with one was bigger than the other & that's the after market ones like Bosch & Mann. Got a Mann paper filter in the end & gave up on the K & N.

Yes & it gave me the wrong size but I have it sorted now, took back to shop & they noted that later V6 S-Types have a smaller filter so nice clean filter in now.

OK just in middle of stripping out the air box to give it a good clean & new filter, while air blowing the muck out a piece of foam that was stuck to the lower part of the box came loose & fell out. Does anyone know what the purpose of those foam/sponge bits are for & can I just leave it out ?. Thanks in advance

I also have Parrot & when I plug in my reader it just connects along with the Parrot I guess it has no conflict with parrot its just sending data & not trying to take calls. Just so you know these readers are rather basic so don't expect too much data but it is handy. To film your car jouney with a data overlay you will need to download an extra bit of Torque Android software but it's all very easy to do. Never had any issues using Android Kit-Kat Samsung Note 3. Hope you enjoy it

Anyone know the size of the air filter in a 2006 S-Type 3.0 I ordered a K & N from Euro car parts but it does not fit it is about 20mm too long ? checked the K & N website & they come up with the same part number so im confused.

Yes using my phone I can record the journey while my chosen data also records on the same screen but not seen any compression levels on my AP (Torque Pro).

What were the symptoms play/noise etc ?

Got a cheap BT reader from ebay & use Torque pro. Both work together well never had a problem getting data or reading/searching for any codes. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OBD-II-2-EOBD-CAR-AUTO-DIAGNOSTIC-FAULT-CODE-READER-SCANNER-SCAN-TOOL-FOR-CHEVY-/251986574466?hash=item3aab91fc82

Had a long bleep from the rear parking sensors which stopped so had a listen & could not hear any clicks from the middle two. Took car back to garage where I brought it, 100 round trip, they fitted two new centre ones & it worked until I got home but now it just bleeps all the time as if something is behind the car. I'm starting to regret buying this car even the simple jobs are hindered by daft design like having to take bumper off to get at sensors, manifold to change plugs & very tight access to change bulbs. Before I waist my money driving the car another 100 mile to get a fix do any of you have any suggestions as to what I can try to get the parking sensors working ? Thanks

I had some brilliant Powerflow exhaust work done on my Honda Civic a few years back so want to go back to the fitter who done that work. Can you tell me how well the Powerflow system works on your Jag, does it behave well on Mway without drone etc.

Thanks for reply I was going to go with Powerflow with the same bore size just abit smaller boxes just to lift the sound a little. The company is Post Office Insurance I have only just gone with them as the quote was £100 cheaper than Avia who I have been with for years & never had any increase due to air filter mods & Exhaust. I have a feeling that Im not going to be happy with this company & yes I think they would be the sort to get out of any claim if they could fine a small reason.

I am looking to change over the two rear back boxes for stainless one's but my insurance company will not amend my policy unless I tell them exactly what changes it will make to the power of the car. I didn;t think just changing those two boxes would make any difference at all so what do I tell the insurance company.
