hi

p1000 is normal, once you have cleared fault codes, once a drive cycle is complete it disapears

cheers

Joe

Hi

If you think thats a PITA, you want try doing the same hose on the supercharged model

Jobe will done though

cheers

Joe

Hi

if the lights are hid, then will either be the Bulb (if its got ignitor built in), the ignitor (if seperate) or ballast ( favorite ballast )

halogens rarely fail, but if its halogen, check the relays

cheers

Joe

hi

all these are quite easy to do, as long as you have descent jack, axle stands, spanners and sockets

front upper ball joint means swapping the whole arm which is quite easy

rear tie rods would swap as a pair, these can be a bit fiddly but ok to do, rear tracking or 4 wheel alignment will need doing after this, as the tie rods are adjustable and alter tracking on the rear

lower shock bush can be replaced on its own, bushes can be bought, if shocker looks ok, a vice and a few sockets will press the bush out and back in

try autoreserve Jaguar

hi

you need to check the fuel pump with a meter and check you have 12 volts at the pump

if its cranking over then its not the security system stopping it as it would not crank

also check you have spark

if the  car has stood with anything less than 3/4 of a tank of fuel, odss are the fuel pump has seized and rusted, if cars are stood should always be on a full tank

workshop manuals and wiring diagrams here http://www.jagrepair.com/

ideally you need a Jaguar compatible diagnostic read like Jaguar ids/sdd or icarsoft lr v3, generic ones will only read engine and not other modules to see where fault is

cheers

Joe

hi

does not need to be BJ

as long as the first two sets are the same, last set it revision and any will work, the higher the letters the newer it is

but needs to be off a similar car or it wont work and will need coding to the car

like a manual gearbox one will not work correct on a auto gearbox as software is different

a new unit will also come blank and need coding to the car

cheers

Joe

Hi

I dd mine a few years ago and once there done, they stay really wel if there just polished once in a while

never used laquer on mine

I just polish the lights when i polish the car, and they still look great

they can be laquered if required, but a lot more work involved, and if not done right will spoil them

cheers

Joe

hi

with every amber light and every red light a message is displayed telling what the warning is, so only you would know the answer to this

quite common though, is the rubber boots on the wiper mech shafts perish and cover the engine in water in heavy rain, which can go on coil packs and various other stuff

any engine fault should be stored and bought up with a good code reader

cheers

Joe

hi

Ive used the 3m headlight restore kit on s-type R headlights

every thing in the kit you need,all you need is just a battery drill

and it works really well, they came up like new

cheers

hi

there suppose to be pressurised

theres a vent valve that vents at a certain pressure, then usually through a carbon filter

it stops the fuel going off and stops vapors going to atmosphere

cheers

joe

hi

you have a few options, get a kit off eBay, remove yours, remove the cloth, rub all the foam off and stick new material on, about £100

or get a new one, new headliner off eBay, grp one, dont hold the damp like the hardboard one and just remove and fit the new one, about £250

or take it somewhere to get it done, around £500 to £600

cheers

Joe

hi

really common on the s-types, the dccv fails and takes the climate module out as well

cheers

Joe

hi

the metal one is landrovers with the same gearbox

unless your thinking of doing some serious off roading , then I would'nt bother

the plastic one work quite well and if you use genuine zf part never leaks, only after market ones do.

also the filter in the plastic one looks larger, the metal one is a smaller serperate filter

cheers

Joe

hi

Just  look on autotrader and eBay and what similar cars are fetching

then adjust if the one your looking has better points

cheers

Joe

hi

if you look in the engine bay, down the drivers side of the inner wing there are 3 aluminium pipes, rigid ones, if you follow them, they go directly to the heater valve

its a lot lower on the diesel.

on the diesel im sure its more in the wheel arch area behind the plastic cover, below the fuse box

cheers

Joe

hi

might help if you tell people what car, engine and what year it is

some better picture might help as well

cheers

Stacker martin your looking at the wrong item, sounds like aux pump your looking at

find the dccv, they all have a 3 pin connector and the valve will either be a 3 port or 5 port

also it could ve a combination of dccv, climate module and wiring thats causing it

cheers

Joe

Hi

rear parking sensors, either a bad sensor or a dodgy module, especially if the boot gets damp

petrol gauge may be a dodgy fuel level sender, theres one each side, check the connections, just needs the back seat lifting, you can put the dash on these in diagnostic mode to test all the gauges on the dash

performance would start with a good service and go from there, rear plugs are under the plenum, so they dont always get changed,

sport mode can be down to how it ws driven previously, if left in sport mode when driving slow it adapts to that driving style, in sport it raises shift points and should drop a few gear when floored and go all the way to the red before changing gear, if it working right. Again a good service works wonders, some people avoid as service part for the zf 6hp26 not cheap, avoid cheaper pattern kits, they always leak and cheap Oil causes all sorts of problems.

cloudy headlights get your self a 3m headlight restore kit off eBay, about 25 quid, will bring them back to new, all you need is a drill and some masking tape to protect the paintwork

if you need any workshop or electrical manuals look here http://www.jagrepair.com/

cheers

Joe

hi

new member usually introduce themselves here

there is a section for jaguars forsale, you be better off putting it in there

good luck with the sale

cheers

Joe

hi

need to get it plugged in

a lot off issues with headlights , need reseting with software, plug in and it should tell you

on a lot of these if you unplug a headlight it stops everything working, you can only unplug a headlight with battery disconnected

cheers

Joe

hi

still sounds like a dodgy alternator

you need a meter and check the battery voltage while the engine is running, should be 13volts to 14.5volts

if it drops with the lights on to around 12 volts, then the alternator is duff

if your with the AA you could get them out free and they will check alternator and battery and tell you wha up

cheers

Joe

hi

clutch will be either the master cylinder or slave cylinder or even the flexi host to the slave cylinder

if its slave cylinder on the gearbox, then they will leak all the Oil out, same with the flexi hose, if theres no leaks anywhere then its master cylinder seal failed, swap bleed and you good to go

starter motor will just be sticky on the bearing on the end of the starter, usually giving a good clean will cure it

if you want any manuals there all here http://www.jagrepair.com/

cheers

joe

Hi

Hope  there genuine ZF parts, pattern parts are really common to leaking, also not using ZF Oil lifeguard 6 can cause all sorts of problems

hope it comes with some sort of guarantee

cheers

Joe

hi

if you check on eBay there are sellers that do genuine zf kits

you will need a new filter/pan, new updated pan screws, mechatronincs sleeve and 7 litres of ZF lifguard 6

genuine zf parts will not leak, but cheap copies will

cheers

Joe
