Hi changing your driving style might help when you go on a run on the motorway, just keep it in a lower gear for 10 minutes or so, try to keep the revs raised for that 10 minutes not bouncing off the red, but with higher revs than normal, its not speed you need , just higher revs, by keeping your revs raised it will get the dpf up to temperature and remove any buildup in your dpf the dpf relies on temp to burn off the build up and throw it out as soot, if your cruising at low revs, the dpf never get hot enough to burn the buildup off when you get to a certain back pressure in the exhaust system, it bring on a regen and the dpf light come on, but when it clears, it only clearing enough just to clear the fault by keeping your revs up at regular intervals, to get the dpf hot and clear it self will eliminate the need for manual regens when the warning light come on some people recommend additives, to keep it clear, but it not required cheers Joe

Hi 12.4 volts with engine running is too low, check that your alternator is charging, as it sound like it is, because you said you had 14.3 volts at the battery you need to check agaim when the fault is on and see what the voltage is on the dash and the battery with a multimeter, just to confirm the battery is charging, but for some reason the car electronic only thinks its see a lower voltage which would lead me think, you either have a bad connection somewhere, or a bad earth give a low voltage on a control unit, cheers Joe

HI Same here, I'd retrace were you have been, and see if you have disturbed any thing I found a wiring diagram if that helps here http://www.jagstyperegister.com/images/maintdocs/stypewiring.pdf cheers Joe

Hi Yes its the same 8 speed ZF box, but not sure what year they started Personally if I could afford it it would be the 5L for me, though I love the 4.2L V8 Supercharged in mine I thought the 4.2's were 6 speed and 5.0 were 8 speed, usually looking at them J-gate, 6 speed and pop up gear selector 8 speed cheers Joe

hi You need a multi meter and test what voltage you have there, no point guessing You should have over 12volts at all times, more towards the 12.5 volts with engine off with engine running it should be over 14 volts ideally 14volts to 14.5 volts, if it drops below 13.5volts running alternators it faulty, below 12.5 volts alternator fried most alternators have brushes in them that connect to the armature, varying the voltage on the armature alters the alternator output, so as the brushes start to fail, alternator output current can fluctuate intermittent, until they fail all together, usual symptoms lights when on, lights brightness can flicker or fluctuate you need to check the voltage on the battery and see what you get, if you get 14.5 volts and the battery light is on, then the fault could be elsewhere also you can put the dash in diagnostic mode and monitor what voltage the battery is, but recommend using a multi meter first on the actual battery cheers Joe

Hi Post some pics up cheers Joe

Hi You will only get what people are prepared to pay for it I would look on autotrader and ebay for similar spec ones and that would give you a starting price then look at your own and adjust the price, for lower mileage, service history, and any extra features/options that others dont have if you over price people just wont look at it, but most people are prepared to pay extra for lower mileage, service history and options other don't have cheers Joe

Hi Ive had it before on other cars, not the s-type they have a switch on the wiper motor, that gives it its park position, usually its all greased up and Ive found on a couple of cars the grease dry's up and stop it working correct all I did was clean the contact up with wd 40 and then re-apply fresh grease but on the s-type its most probably just as easy just to replace the wiper motor cheers Joe

Hi and Welcome I also Have the S-type R, which always manages to put a grin on my face Post some pics up of your car cheers Joe

hi Is it 5 speed or 6 speed does the D light up in drive, in not it does not know its in drive, might want cable adjusting does it work on manual j-gate side , also does 2, 3, 4,or 5 light up you need to plug with software really, might just be a simple fault or sensor, a descent auto box specialist should be able to sort it cheers Joe

Hi if its the same as the s-type, its integrated into the rear window there's also a amplifier for it aswell cheers Joe

HI I did'nt think 3.0tdv6 has a timing belt cheers Joe

HI Yes it did, but it can be retro fitted, to 2002 onwards, the bluetooth module plugs in where the phone does but some of the wires need swapping in the connector in the armrest and on the connector in the boot on the phone module, its quite straight forward cheers Joe

Hi If any body interested in modifying there touch display to android, here a link to ben wilcox's site its has all the pictures there now cheers Joe https://jaguar.willcoxonline.com/home

Hi My STR has the ski hatch, but it looks like there's a chunk missing from yours there should be two doors/covers, one opens from inside the boot and the other opens from inside the car and there should be a large ski bag there also cheers Joe

Hi , I try changing the oil and filter on your gearbox fault, thats the ford autobox and should not be too much to change depends on the state of the oil, some people notice a massive change and some people don't, but it got be a good starting point and usually fixes a lot of autobox faults cheers Joe

Hi I would stick with the 5w30 as it what jaguar recommends and the 10w40 and 20w50 might be too thick in winter also I thought the oil has to be 5w30 A5, as that's the one that meets jaguar WSS-M2C913-B , C3 does not meet the jaguar spec cheers Joe

HI Derek Id just go for a new genuine one, they seem the best and last the longest try British car parts cheers Joe

HI these are the codes three item could be wiring damaged

Hi If the genuine jaguar, there's a letter on the locking nut you can either order a new one or look on ebay they pop up all the time, you just want the same letter cheers Joe

Hi was looking on facebook recently and found some one selling, real carbon fiber trim apparently it was a option from jaguar, but expensive and is extremely rare cheers Joe

Hi the bottom hose clips on heres a pic cheers Joe

Hi could be where the sensor is or on the seam the seam is a common problem also yours been a 3.0 there should be a lot more space than there was on mine, so the bottom hose should be easier cheers Joe

Hi you want to download JTIS and a workshop manual here what I found in jtis cheers Joe

Hi Hard wire kits are available for most devices, which are always a options and easily fitted but I like the option of completely removing the device, when leaving the car and also using the device in another car, the Dash cam/navigation device I use only occasionally, it was quite expensive and I use in my other cars mainly on long trips cheers Joe
