  1. 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 Joe
  2. Thats where the antenna is for the fob above rear light
  3. 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 Joe have a look here for a lot more info and workshop manuals http://www.jagrepair.com/
  4. 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 Joe
  5. Hi service book on my S-type R states 100k or 10 years, so what ever comes first, which has the similar 4.2 engine and same spark plugs cheers Joe
  6. HI There a piece that sticks out, facing the seat, that tou can get your finger under, pulling there unclips the cover cheers Joe
  7. 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 Joe
  8. 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
  9. hi do you have any fault codes when you plug in if so what are the codes
  10. hi discs sizes can change depending on year by far the best way is to measure your own discs with a tape measue cheers Joe
  11. 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 cheers Joe
  12. 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 Joe
  13. 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 Joe
  14. 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 cheers Joe
  15. 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. cheers Joe
  16. 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 Joe
  17. 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 cheers Joe
  18. 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 cheers Joe
  19. 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 Joe
  20. 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 Joe
  21. Hi Thats usually a bad window motor/electronics the press it 8 times is a emergency mode to shut the window needs a new windoe motor cheers Joe
  22. Hi Look good, be interesting if they pass MOT might be a option for one of my other cars cheers Joe
  23. 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 Joe
  24. hi not to sure on the F-types, but on other cars with battery management the battery has to be programmed to the car, like on BMW's replacing the battery or disconnecting the battery, can result in the car wont start afterwards until the battery is registered to the car but Ive found out in a emergency, theres a sensor on the negative battery post that monitors battery charge and discharge, if this sensor is disconnected the car will start, but stop/start facility will be disabled, but ideal to get you home or to a garage very handy if the battery need to be charged or replaced, with out a proper garage doing it icarsoft LR V2 can register battries on these might not apply, but works on most stop/start cars cheers Joe
