hi
what model s-type is it, what engine
theres were early production cars, there were a few s-type R's
the s-type R's that were prototypes had reg number BP51 KNW, BP51 KNT, BP51 KNR, BP51 KNS, BP51 KNU, BP51 KNV, BP51 KNW, BP51 KNX, these were proto types and still on the road.
also most prototypes had no emisions listed, so none were ulez exempt like a S-type R usually is.
just early production, none were destroyed.
cheers

hi
on the s-type the key fobs are connected to the driver door module, maybe similar on the xk8
but just looked and looks like yours is in the boot, security module
cheers

have a look here for a lot more info and workshop manuals http://www.jagrepair.com/

Hi,
Though they both have the same ZF 6HP26, they may have different torque converters and the TCM which is built into the gearbox is coded to the car, so unless its off a identical spec car, it may need coding to the car to getting it working right
cheers

Hi

Hi,
Code is stored in the CD player in the dash
it may of been replaced, could be why the codes not working
there are loads of places on eBay that will give you the code off the CD player serial number
also when you remove it, code maybe written on it
Cheers

HI
sorry for the late reply, have you tried deleteing them first, some of those faults may be quite old
then rescan to see what faults are left

hi

MIKE Thanks for your post on front disc brake size. I also have a 2005 2.7D (reg June). I can't get access to the rear brakes at the moment so I wondered if you could confirm that the REAR disc dimension is 288. It would be a great help!
Thanks Ian C
hi
discs sizes can change depending on year
by far the best way is to measure your own discs with a tape measue
cheers

Hi
You need to plug in with Jaguar SDD, that will tell you why the fault is on
generic code reader are generally useless unless is a simple engine fault
usually a battery fault, some cars have two batteries, the small one is overlooked and usually the problem

Hi
If your in the AA just get them out, they should be able onper the door lock
usuall involves forcing the glass out a bit and hooking the door look/hand hand with a long wire hook
cheers

Hi
usually a dongy door lock, the switch are inside the lock, common fault
you could also just unplug the alarm sounder in the engine bay as a quick fix
cheers

Is it ok to charge the auxiliary battery with my Ctek. I have charged the main battery but the auxillary is almost flat (5volts) 2013 xf 2.2 diesel.
Thanks
Rob
yes its ok to charge it with a ctek, but if the battery is at 5volts its no good and no amount of charging will bring it back
just replace it with a new one and will give you less problems in the long run
a lot of people put jump leads on the car leads while swapping the battery so no setting are lost

Hi
I would start with basics first and get a sniff test done, quick and easy, will confirm the head gaskets are ok, the most common reason for over heating on the S-types, if a hose has failed and the car has overheated, usually causes head gasket failure.
once thats confirmed ok, then start to check items like radiator and water pump, aux pump, air locks.

Hi
usually on these if theres a fault, if it has cats active damping, the suspension will default to hard setting until the fault is cleared
you need to plug in and see if theres any faults, ideally with Jaguar IDS/SDD, but Icarsoft LR V2 or V3 will do it quite cheaply and worth having for any other faults, generic code readers will only read engine faults and nothing else.
but could be a range of things, hard to say with out plugging in
cheers

hi
only way to know is to get Jaguar ids/sdd software plugged in and see what the fault is, this software will tell you exactly where the fault is
whn you say they have been replaced, were they used, if so either could of failed, dont think new ones have been available for a while now
virtually impossible to diagnose without the correct software, could be module, common if boot get damp, wiring breaks by the epb is not tied up or the reed sensor can fail on the epb motor

Hi
should be straight forward to put back to factory
the juddering might be the front brake discs, which is quite common to juddering brakes

Hi
I dont think the diesel S-type were ULEZ exempt or been capable of been as they were euro 4
only certain petrol are Exempt, euro 5 petrols and euro 6 diesels.
cheers

hi
if your getting restricted performance, then theres fault codes, you need to read the codes while the fault still active
codes should point you in the right direction, could be absoluetly anything
cheers

Hi
Thats one Ive never seen before, I's check all the fuses are good, as one may of popped when been put back in, also check the relays are in correct and in the right slot, easily mixed up
have you tried disconnecting the battery since, may reset it
if that does not work, ideally you need some one with Jaguar ids/sdd, as that will read every module and hopefully show up the fault
cheers

Hi
instructions usually come with the module, generally you have to use special modules/relay unit for these, as the wiring is not conventional, as in the lights usually have permanent 12volts to them and the body modules switch the earths.
but as for wiring diagrams look here http://www.jagrepair.com/
