Hi All Took some photos today at the NEC Classic car show, some are not the best, as taken with my phone made a slideshow with them here's the link NEC CLASSIC CAR SHOW select HD for best quality cheers Joe

HI Try a Jaguar indy, there must one local to you they would be a lot cheaper cheers Joe

Hi Yes you have to get it programed to get it working cheers Joe

Hi Sound like a common elecy window/central locking fault At a guess the wires in the door shuts, have broken, open the the door and wriggle the wires gently, while pressing the window switch, if they start and stop working, odds are some have snapped usually you can unclip the rubber protection boots to expose the wires, some may be visably snapped, if not if you pull on them, some will be stretchy/elastic and break best way is to use wire crimps and crimp them, some people will strip, twist and solder them, which is a better repair/joint, but will leave the wire more prone to snapping, as the soldering leaves the copper cable slightly softer and will snap. cheers Joe

Hi All Any Body here going NEC Classic Car Show this Friday, Saturday or Sunday Very Good show in the past, with lots of Jaguar's there I will be going this friday, I will try take as many photos as i can and post them up, so everyone can have a look cheers Joe

Hi I picked up a like feed from the fuse box Also if your fog/drl has 3 wires on it, 1 feed 12v for fog and 1 feed for drl and 1 earth, if you have connected them to the original fog wiring, then when you switch the fogs off, the drl will also go off, as the jaguar switches the earth off, which will turn both fog and drl off cheers Joe

Hi very nice cheers Joe

Hi I sprayed the insides of the sills, with wurth cavity wax, creeps in every where, stops it and will save them long term cheers Joe

Hi and Welcome Simon It may be worth swapping you expansion tank cap, you may all ready done so with the new expansion tank but it may be the cause of some of the leaks, if the pressure in the system is getting too high, due to a faulty cap cheers Joe

Hi Found this while looking through JTIS Its in the Pre Delivery Inspection Here stype_pdi.pdf but more interesting in the section " effects of battery disconnection " I found this below So if your car is driving strange after disconnecting the battery and its a auto, it may be worth trying may be worth adding to the battery reset doc cheers Joe

Hi I used the standard Jaguar relays, micro relays like in the fuse box, picked up about a dozen from my local scrapyard for a couple of quid the relay 1 converts the negative switched to a positive switched and add relay 2 if you want the DRL to go off when the main lights come on converted my fogs to led DRL and LED fogs, I also converted the indicators to DRL/indicator, here a link to my conversion, which can just be unplugged when no longer wanted DRL/INDICATOR relay number are correct for jaguar/ford micro relays cheers Joe Fogs I used on my S-type

Hi according to jaguar workshop manual, 6.7 litres engine and filter cheers Joe

Hi I sure Ive seen this in the past, Sure its in one of the menu's on your touch screen You can turn them on and off, in there somewhere cheers Joe

Hi James and welcome See your not too far from me Post a pic of your ride, I will look out for you and we all like pics on here cheers Joe

Hi If the x-type is like the s-type, its because they use switched negative earth so you will need two relays to get them to work, the jaguar uses a permanent feed to the light, then the control module switches the earth to bring the light on if you get stuck, let me know and i will do you a quick drawing cheers Joe

Hi It needs the park position reteaching, needs software plugging in to do it If you leave the switch in auto, every time you get out, the steering wheel moves out of the way and when you get back in, put the ignition key in, it moves back to the memory position best option is to leave the switch in column postion, then it wont move when you turn the ignition off cheers Joe

Hi That run should do it, its not the speed you need, just keep it in a lower gear and keep the revs a little higher when the DPF get blocked and regens, there's a heater inside the DPF and along with some higher revs, the higher temp generated, burns the soot off, into ash and clears the DPF as for the oil quantity, which jaguar are you talking about cheers Joe

Hi and welcome Post some pic up, I would be interested what the XJS looks like I do all my own work, at least if you do it yourself, you know its done right cheers Joe

Hi Yes I can remember that, you could also get some decoke spray that was the same cheers Joe

Hi Your still driving a S-type, the XF uses the same floor pan as the S-type, thats why its so good. cheers Joe

Hi Yes, If you look on Youtube there's loads of video's It works to a fashion, as long as its used in small doses, even smaller doses on a diesel, as you can't squash water, it hydraulics, so you can bend things easy but if you have ever cleaned a dirty valve or egr, while its off, it takes some serious scraping, so a bit of water ain't going to shift any long term carbon build up it does'nt shift oily residues either, like on leaky turbo's, or oil build up in intercoolers, but you can buy solvent based ones that will shift the oily residues cheers Joe

Hi Sorry it meant to say Sills, Just edited it every thing else can be replaced, so there not really a issue If the sills just have light surface rust, a good clean, treatment and waxoyl coating will stop the rust for years yes the clips are on ebay, the covers just pull off, once the plastic screws underneath have been removed when you pull them off, some of the clips will break cheers Joe

Hi and Welcome The S-type Is quite a Comfy Cruiser, if looked after, Post some pics up of your ride, we like pics on here Cheers Joe

Hi What Keith said, I got my S-type R because its a Jaguar and fast, 4.2 and supercharged and the V8 sounds superb!!! Why would one buy a Diesel Jaguar ????, Its like say a Diesel Ferrari, Why???, Then your going to Say "economy", Its a Jaguar Then best cars ever made, were never Diesels, I think if your questioning Economy and Mpg's, Your driving the wrong car. Cheers Joe Your better with a V8 or V12
