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/

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

Thats where the antenna is for the fob

above  rear light

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/

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

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

HI

There a piece that sticks out, facing the seat, that tou can get your finger under, pulling there unclips the cover

cheers

Joe

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

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

do you have any fault codes when you plug in

if so what are the codes

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

Joe

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

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

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

cheers

Joe

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hi

Look good, be interesting if they pass MOT

might be a option for one of my other cars

cheers

Joe

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
