hi usually either a dodgy door lock or the wires have broke in the door shut, where they constantly flex, on the door pivot point cheers Joe

hi there no cut, that a sealing plug, stops water getting in, the green pins seal the plug they will be for optional extras not fitted, you will find lots of plugs like that, but external ones are usually sealed cheers Joe

hi could be one of many things on a s-type, from coil pack, air leak to dodgy abs sensor you need to plug in and see what fault code come up. otherwise its just pure guesswork and gets expensive that way cheers Joe

hi similar setup on mine, but have a Jaguar ctek, with dedicated socket in the boot but you should really put a fuse on the red wire as close to the battery terminal as possible if that red wire get trapped, a few hundred amps will flow and it will burst into flames any time you connect anything to the battery, you should fit a fuse as close as possible to the battery positive terminal the genuine jaguar optional ctek charger comes with a socket that goes in the side carpet, which is also fused cheers Joe

Hi What fault codes are you getting cheers

Cheers Paul, Still got the old girl and still running well Thanks

Hi Just Had some later wheels on mine, also with clear markers and indicators, It looks a lot better.

hi Blue smoke is usually burning engine oil, not diesel, excess diesel burning is black smoke sounds more like bad valve seals or turbo seals if its a tdi if its turbo, checking the pipe work between turbo and engine will tell you, will be full of oil and so will intercooler very unlikely its valve stem seal, they tend to smoke on first start up and on over run cheers Joe

Hi Have you checked the door seals, especially around the glass area some people use a smoke machine inside there car to high light leaking areas cheers Joe

Hi Most problems have been covered before, so using the search bar can find most answers with out waiting some very useful info on here and if you find anything just hit like cheers Joe

hi the xf system is different to the s-type sounds like its corrupted the software and will need Jaguar software to sort it check on the XF group just in case they have any better ideas cheers Joe

Hi, would no bother too much hassle once you swap the engine, nothing on the car will work, because every thing on the S-type is canbus connected so, by losing the oe engine ecu, things that wont work any more, dash,speedo, gauges, fuel pumps, auto box, parking brake, ABS, active damping, stability program, climate, cruise, central locking, alarm cheers Joe

hi air leaks is one of the most common faults as cars get older through either pipes spitting or perishing with age you can get cheap smoke machines now that you hook up to the inlet and see where smoke leaks from to find the problem area well done on finding it cheers Joe

hi best place to sell car is Ebay, has the widest audience put plenty of pictures and all its history and car should sell itself if priced correct cheers Joe

HI There a good few on ebay and auto trader if your after any pointers what to look for let me know, had one for a few year cheers Joe

hi completely pure guess work, you need to get it plugged in and codes read only way to tell

hi does it look like this one https://www.jaguar-shop.com/Badge-XKR-100

hi there a a couple of mega fuses, 1x 400 amo and 1x 175 amp, between battery and fuse box in the boot, there usual held in with screws, so wonder if there loose last pic is a mega fuse cheers Joe

hi as above just connect to the battery terminal just check the battery has a vent pipe fitted, as it should have and it goes out the back panel behind the bumper if you leaving it on charge you can get a build up of gas, in the boot, if no vent pipe is fitted cheers Joe

hi gurgling is usually air in the water system, theres specific bleed point to let air out click might be climate, it alters flaps and even can start the fans if it setup to do so in dealer setting, so might be normal what engine do you have cheers Joe

hi 702 is a battery fault, I'd check all the battery connection and connections to the body earth, also check the mega fuse connection and fusebox, make sure nothing loose 730 is a gearbox ratio fault, but could be related to the battery fault cheers Joe

hi I would never use IDS or SDD with a virtual machine, very unstable and the best way to ruin modules dedicated laptop with windows xp pro is best and there cheap as well cheers

hi you never said whether you got it working as sometimes, if the connectors get enough water in them and corrosion, they take the climate module out cheers Joe

hi all the manuals here http://www.jagrepair.com/ can be downloaded and saved on your computer and there all free cheers Joe

hi most favorite problem would be leaking windscreen if its had a new screen in the past, most probably not fitted correct I would assume you would need to get the windscreen removed and refitted to cure the leak cheers Joe
