Hi Post some pics up of the parts your talking about re-chroming is more than likely dearer than replacing with new I'd look on ebay for good second hand ones, second hand ones can go very cheap and there's plenty of people out there breaking cars, so they can be had for a bargain also the younger generation of people having s-type because there retro look and been cheap, are replacing the chrome for the black gloss look, as its more modern, so chrome trims are on ebay regular once you find good ones, if there cleaned regular and a good wax put on them they should last cheers Joe

Hi Have a look on ebay, I bought one that came as a kit, My car has Ivory leather and the kit I got worked great it came with every you need cleaner, dye and sealer, selection of sponges and polishing cloths find out what color your leather is exactly first, or it will look odd after mine had a small bit of cracking on the drivers side bolster, where you get in and out, you cant tell now cheers Joe

Hi The one you want then the parrot mki9200 have fitted these before and they are very good you can also get the jaguar parrot loom that makes it plug and play cheers Joe

hi At a guess, one of your door locks has a faulty switch there's a switch inside each lock, door ajar switch, they can go sticky with age it should say which door is playing up usually if you take the door panel off and give the door lock a good dose of WD40, it should free it off worse case, you might have to take the door lock off, give it a good clean and oiling and that should do it cheers Joe

Hi check the gear change linkages on the gearbox, might need lubricating, they go notchy sometimes when they go dry I,ve seen this when engines are cleaned in garages and before selling a car to make them look better also might be worth checking the gearbox oil level cheers Joe

Hi At a guess, the caps faulty, there like a ratchet/clutch built into the cap on mine so you can over tighten it, at a guess it failed and just spins just needs a new cap you could try press or pulling while your trying to undo it to get it off maybe make sure engine cold when trying though, because of the pressure cheers Joe

Hi I like it, looks more modern cheers Joe

Hi and Welcome Neil post some pics up of your new ride where abouts are you in midlands cheers Joe

Hi My S-type R, says 120 kpa on the cap which I just googled is 17.4 psi and I just had a look on ebay and some are marked up 140 kpa which is 20 psi thats quite a bit of pressure, they do it because if you raise the pressure, it raises the boiling point, so stops overheating, water can be run hotter cheers Joe

HI Don't know if this helps but it shows how to remove and replace front bumper cheers Joe X150Service.pdf

Hi At a guess its gone faulty then Either the mech inside has broken or I've seen this if someone spilled pop on the button, making it all sticky inside If there's any breakers near you that would be the cheapest option cheers Joe

HI When I press the sport button in my car, it makes a positive click, check yours does switch could of failed, spring broke inside causing it to come on and off randomly cheers Joe

Hi Very nice and tidy get it on ebay, as a classified ad, one off fee, no final value fee Ebay may be dodgy at time's, but it has one of the biggest audience, so should sell cheers Joe

Hi Not sure on this can't find any info, just had a quick look the only thing I would do is if it in order, would E be No 5, you could pull cylinder 5 coil pack and swap it with the next easiest one start it and see if the fault shift to that cylinder, thats what I'd try cheers Joe

Hi Have you checked it with a multi meter check the battery voltage, should be over 12 volts, not running, with engine running 14 volts to 14.5 volts if you have over 14volts check the connections on the back of the alternator, battery warning light is operated by the alternator any thing under 13 volts with the engine running and you have a problem, check alternator belt is tight cheers Joe

Hi You have to plug in and see what the fault codes are, it can be one of many things fault code will narrow it down, have you checked all the fuses and disconnected and reconnected the battery cheers Joe

hi have a look on sng barret or british car parts cheers Joe http://www.sngbarratt.com/CatalogueProducts.aspx?m=49&c=15134&s=13961&a=13976 https://www.britishparts.co.uk/products?utf8=✓&name_or_keywords=C2C12747

hi at a guess its lost its position sensor, either the unit is faulty in the window motor or wiring try wriggling the wires in the door shut gap, the wires there can break, due the constant opening and shutting of the door cheers Joe

Hi They stopped making the XK8 x100 in 2005, so your 2007 will be the same as a 2005 unless yours is a XK x150 2005 - 2014 cheers Joe

Hi Dont know if these help cheers Joe Pages 1-10 Jaguar Parts List '97 to '05.pdf Pages 11-23 from Jaguar Parts List '97 to '05.pdf

Hi That's good if there been no impact damage, then once they check the tyre, you should get a refund eventually I take it you don't have a full size spare wheel, just the space saver , as you could of put the spare wheel on I hate the space savers, I bought a full size alloy, there quite cheap for a good condition used one and they still fit in the boot, can't beat a full size spare cheers Joe

HI I'd say that's a manufacturing defect, in the material in the sidewall you need to get it changed as soon as, would not like to drive that at speed, as it could let go and make a right mess try going back to where you had them, they may be able to contact Pirelli and get it replaced free, they usually try to keep customers happy you have nothing to lose, may be worth a try thanks Joe

Hi You missed a good few Jaguar's today at RAF Cosford I took some pics and made a slideshow Have a look here RAF Cosford Jaguar's cheers Joe

hi The only thing I can say is get under neath and get bouncing if it makes the noise all the time you should be to pin point it, its either going to be a shocker or a bush, these poly upgraded bushes have been known to make horrible squeaking noises, cheers Joe
