Hiyou need a harness to and from boot and nav unit in the boot, as the video is generated by the DVD unit in the boot, also need a fibre optic link Cheers Joe

Hi On the s-type one of the rear doors is wired parallel to passenger front door so if passenger door is working so should one of the rears, odds are rears have seized and failed at same time you need to check your getting voltage to rear door central locking motors, would be first thing to check if you getting voltage, then lots of wd40 can free them off, if you need wiring diagrams look here http://www.jagrepair.com/ As for the XF there a completely different animal, but would start with the basics, like checking a the rear door locks for voltages, if you need wiring diagram PM me cheers Joe

hi, What engine it has may help cheers Joe

hi did not think the xf's had air suspension, unless its just for the rears, like a load leveling system the air compressors are usually well insulated for noise, is it oe or after market cheers Joe

hi if its blowing hot, means dccv is passing hot water into the heater matrix, no amount of ac will cool it has to be a faulty dccv heater water valve or climate module all the info you need is here http://www.jagrepair.com/ its R8 and Fuse 32 in engine bay fusebox cheers Joe

Hi code p0646 relates to the air con compressor clutch, open or shorted, odds are the wiring has broken, bad connector or clutch winding burnt out, should be easy test with a multimeter most common problem with s-type is either the DCCV, dual coolant control valve, sit just behind radiator and or Climate control module, sit above glove box, usually dccv fails and either sticks open or shut, giving either permanent hot or cold heater, sometime they take out the climate module, these can be usually fixed, when you pull the apart you can see blown tracks that just need repairing cheers Joe https://jaguarclimatecontrol.com/diagnose/

hi have you tried swapping front wheels with back, have known a bad tyre to cause this a certain speed cheers Joe

HI 1999 cars have a ford gearbox and are pretty reliable, might just want a atf gearbox oil change also check the rear subframe and sills the are known to rot, sills are hidden with a plastic cover cheers Joe

hi usually they come with Jaguar fix n go kits, small compressor inflattor which comes with a sealant bottle that is plugged into the inflator which is a sealant that seals any punctures but personally you cant beat a spare wheel, but I thought the F-type boots were too small for one post some pics up of your boot and spare cheers Joe

hi As above really, Jaguar don't make different spec cars for Japan, so it should be same as UK spec, just languages are changed usually so should have them like uk cars if you need any info on wiring, this is a very good site for that, also have a look here http://www.jagrepair.com/ cheers Joe

hi Sounds like the brake booster, but normally the brake pedal returns could be master cylinder though usually if servo is ok, when you turn engine off, if you press the brake pedal, every time you press it, the pedal should get higher and higher, every time you press the pedal and it should feel hard as well, once the pedal has stopped coming up and feels hard, if you hold your foot on the pedal and start the car, the pedal should drop a bit. usually when the pedal stays down its the master cylinder, cheers Joe

Ive done this service myself a few times and never used any special tools and the gear changes in my car are perfect, but saying that it does have a silky smooth 400bhp plus v8 cheers Joe

no special tools are required, just allen keys, 12mm allen key for drain and 8mm allen key for level/fill plug in the side. the kit in the pic is just a waste of money

hi get a sniff test done at a garage, checks for carbon monoxide in the expansion tank or compression test, but not always accurate sounds like head gasket has started to fail assume you've checked obvious like thermostat and water pump every time ive seen this its always been head gasket cheers Joe

hi also only use zf lifeguard 6 its critical when to check the level of the oil, the engine has to be running and it has to be 40 deg C cheers Joe Jaguar S-Type ZF6HP26 TRANSMISSION / GEARBOX OIL CHANGE - YouTube Jaguar S-Type R (STR) 2003 ZF 6HP26 TRANSMISSION SERVICE - YouTube

hi As above 2012 is the newest map I went for a Jagdroid, it uses the jaguar touch screen and give you latest android 9 features, and google maps is superior you also get features like reverse camera, digital radio, spotify, tomtom, full usb flash drive plug and play for music, bluetooth music streaming from your phone, android car play and loads more http://www.jagdroid.org/ plus you dont loose the oe look, all the original features all work perfect cheers Joe

HI you dont really need one for the sump, as it has to be replaced anyway as its the filter, so just slacken the pins so its drains the fill/level plug is at the side, I found a short allen key works best with a spanner over it cheers Joe

HI, I Thought that but if you look at bottom of page is says manual gearbox, auto does not have it cheers joe

hi I'm sure the auto has a reverse switch aswell, its on the side of the gearbox but just checked the manual and it looks like it may be done through software cheers Joe

HI Hardest part usually is getting the hub off the driveshaft The bearing can usually just be knocked out of the hub on wooden blocks with a big hammer, I did mine with my vice, just pressed it out, with a large socket as a spacer and pressed in just as easy cheers Joe

HI Check the oil level in the gearbox, 2000 cars use ford gearbox and are pretty reliable its cheap to do change as it uses standard atf, would change the oil aswell cheers Joe

hi yes castrol edge is very good oil I use it in my STR, its got be either A5 or C1 spec expensive but very good cheers Joe

HI The speed sensor is inside the gearbox on the valve body the gear box valve body would need removing, I not sure if the speed sensor is replaceable best option would to speak to a reputable auto gearbox company and ask cheers Joe

hi P0715 is faulty speed sensor inside gearbox, unless thats cleared, thats the fault cheers Joe

Hi I'd advertise it on EBAY, as a Classified, as it gets the widest audience but now may be no the right time to sell, values will be lower due to the current covid !Removed! up may be worth sitting on it for a while, if you have the space, if if you do, get a smart charger on it, or you will end up will a low battery and loads of module issues just out of curiosity what engine is it, as it says 2.6 in title and they never made a 2.6, assume 2.5 petrol or 2.7 diesel, post some pics up, some one may be interested on here cheers Joe
