Dear Joe,
I posted a message last Friday in the New Members Introduction page but I'm afraid I don't get the attention there and since you're an experienced S-TYPE owner I would like to ask you the question as I wrote it:
"""""""""
Proud Dutch 1st time owner of S-TYPE 4.0 V8 from 2000
Hello all,
I hope some of you Jaguar S-TYPE 4.0 V8 owners can help me out please:
I'm a very proud 1st time owner of a Jaguar S-TYPE 4.0 V8 delivered April 2000; Always parked in my garage and just some 105.000km (65.000miles) on the meter; many dealer and test reports shows so..
The car is in a mint condition (with a few minor details)
BUT, I'm now confronted with a rusted SUBFRAME which has a Jaguar part number XR831985
Can anyone advise me how to go from here and where I could find a good quality trusted garage/spare parts company who can deliver such a subframe, (after inspection of course) to be shipped
to The Netherlands?
Thank you in advance and really hope you can be of assistance.
Kind regards
Jaap
""""""""""""
JOE:
Do you have an idea HOW I could fix the problem with the rusty SUBFRAME XR831985 ?
My garage (not a Jaguar dealer since they're not very good in my neighbourhood I'm afraid) found a fully restored and refurbished SUBFRAME but I would like to know if you're aware of this S-TYPE problem.
My Jaguar S-TYPE has been parked in a garage all her life (for 20 years now) but it's a real shame that Jaguar didn't protect the subframe during construction in the first place.
ANY IDEA what I should do best?
I hope you can find the time to let me know,
Kind regards
Jaap

hi
only real fix really is to replace the subframe,
they do pop up regular on ebay or you need to try breakers like auto reserve,
maybe one of them will ship to netherlands
has to be a pre 2002 subframe to fit yours
you would be better off going on facebook groups for Jaguar S-types and asking on there for recommended car parts breakers, maybe some there can recommend some one who will ship to netherlands
thanks
Joe

2004 S-Type 2.7D when attempting to start, nothing happens.
Sometimes I get "Gearbox Fault", "DSC not available" and "Park Brake fault" come up as key switched on. If I cycle the auto gear lever these faults disappear but still will not start. OBD scanner records FAULT:00, PEND:02 These are shown as U0121 Lost communications with ABS control module & U0073 Control module communication bus off (generic) I have disconnected the battery overnight and charged fully but all is still the same

Hi
These are common and usually caused by a low battery
have you checked the battery voltage, should be above 12.5 volts, if the voltage is lower than this battery may need replacing
also sometimes these faults caused by a low battery will need reseting with jaguar IDS/SDD before they will clear
Ideally you need to get it plugged in to see what faults are listed, generic code readers will only read and clear engine codes, not gearbox, dsc or epb faults,
cheers
Joe

Hi new club member. I have a 2005 2.7 Diesel. Driving perfect but has the restricted performance warning any ideas?
-
Hi
It could be one of many things, usually something quite simple
You need need to get some diagnostic equipment plugged into it, to get a fault code so you know what it is
its the only way, either by taking it a garage or buying a fault code reader, if you buy a generic fault code reader it will only give you fault codes for the engine, it wont work with anything else on the car
what car is it, where about are you
cheers
Joe
