hi you can get the plug in ones that convert the cigarette socket in to two usb, there on ebay and cheap I fitted usb sockets into my glove box and arm rest, so I can plug items in and there out of sight cheers Joe

hi this is from jtis have a look here for fault find cheers Joe new.xps

hi there quite a complicated setup on the R's 2 fuel pumps, one comes straight on the other runs to top up the fuel pressure on higher boost which is controlled by a module I'd check the accident fuel trip button and fuses, then possibly the fuel pressure sensor on the fuel rail its a returnless system, no regulator, no return fuel line, work off a pressue sensor and control the pumps ideally you want jaguar ids/sdd plugged in and see what faults there are cheers Joe workshop manual S-TYPE_WORKSHOP.pdf elec manual x2042002.50en.pdf

hi easier option would be to fix the boot lock then you can just put your key in and open the boot cheers Joe p.s. there is a main battery terminal in the drivers side front wheel arch, this one with jump leads you can start the car.

hi there usually a heat stamp on the battery somewhere with the date if there no label later varta batteries used color codes cheers Joe https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+tell+how+old+a+car+battery+is&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b#kpvalbx=1

HI The S-type is a great car and with more retro looks when the XF was first released it was just a rebodied S-type, with the electronics just upgraded, it used S-type floor pan, complete with all suspension the S-type is really quite a comfortable car and in S-type R form powerfull and quick Every time I use mine it allways manages to put a big grin on my face cheers Joe

hi as Paul says, better to use a battery charger, jumps leads are too big really and you only need it for a few seconds while you open the boot cheers Joe

Hi, try locksmiths, my local locksmiths will do keys and remotes, they even repair remotes, they can clone the keys and they work out a lot cheaper, they can also supply remotes and code them to the car, phone round a few, most do car stuff now, cheers Joe

Hi its worth checking your boot dry as well some s-type are prone to leaking from the rear lights. damp gets into the modules and can cause random faults worth checking your battery though, as Peter says, biggest cause of problems on the S-type cheers Joe

hi easiest way it to open the bonnet open the fuse the box, there are some bare brass connectors, in the slots put the earth on the body or engine and put the 12v red lead on one of those brass parts this will give you power to open the boot with ignition on dont attempt to start the car as you will get lots of module faults this method is only to open the boot, once open, either replace battery or charge overnight cheers Joe

hi if the rear tyres are wearing inside edge or outside edge, its either rear tie rods, these set the rear tracking, rubber boots on them are prone to failing and the joints wear and have excess play or various bushes, these can effect tracking, usually you can tell by looking at them worth getting it sorted, one of my local halfords have a Hunter 4 wheel alignment and there reasonable priced aswell, they give you, pre and post setup print outs, with all the alignment info on them cheers Joe

hi if they disconnected the battery, or pulled fuses for door module you may need to pair the remotes again, not sure how it done, but if you google it, you should be able to find it but I would take it back first, to see if they can sort it cheers Joe

Hi Superb event, I was there in May this year Amazing collection of cars, well worth a visit When I went I asked about photos and was told to take them descreetly, so I did, took lots also there was the electric E-type, that the royals got married in, great car also lots or special proto type cars that never made production like X-type R estate, white XJS twin turbo 4x4 cheers Joe

hi should be stable but volume does increase when you get to 30 mph the volume does increase with speed cheers Joe

Hi As its a earlier type dash, they can be repaired at reasonable prices if you google there may be somewhere near you that will do it cheers Joe

hi the front lifting points in the pic above are perfect, anywhere on that chassis rail, this is solid no issues the rear lifting point in the pic above you have to be cautious, if the sills have bad rust or rot, that area is also prone to rusting, its quite thick if its ok, but I've seen some S-type completely rot away there, just a bit further in, you have the rear sub frame mounting bolts, this is solid and the area it bolts to does not rust either, I've marked the area on the pic below yellow dot on pic below is subframe mounting bolts, this is a solid lifting area suitable for a trolley jack cheers Joe

hi yes they go very brittle and just break is this the part thats gone https://www.sngbarratt.com/uk/#!/English/FindParts/Families/S-Type and X-Type/12/50/11007/1/10/1 cheers Joe
