Hi Did you get a discount for being in a club I have never been asked before, If I have been a member of any club cheers Joe
-
Hi you could sell it, sell the tyre and throw in the wheel for free, then there's no come backs personally, I would never buy a repaired wheel, If it let go at speed, it could be the end of you also these days with where's there's a blame, there's a claim, culture, I don't think I'd be 100% happy selling it cheers Joe

Hi It either unclips from the pads or it unplugs behind the wheel arch liner you'll know for sure when you get the new pads the wheel arch liners do come out quite easy, I have to remove the passenger side one, on my S-type R when changing the fuel filter cheers Joe

Hi worth a try, make sure you don't switch the ignition on with the gearbox disconnected, as it will throw up loads of faults make sure none of the terminals are corroded, if they are try clean them with a fine slat blade screw driver this will work on the 5 speed but not the 6 speed, 6 speed has the ECU built into the gearbox cheers Joe

Hi There been a few that have had a similar fault, ended up being tyres Try swapping the front with the rear and see if it shifts cheers Joe

HI Steve I think thats normal, Mine similar to that, when you switch the ignition off, you still get power to the control modules on the car, for about 10 mins, then the 12v go off I noticed this on mine when I changed some of my side light bulbs and number plate bulbs for led bulbs when I switch the ignition off, the led stay lit, very dim for about 10 mins, these cars use a permanent feed to every thing, then you switch the earth through each control module to earth, to bring the item on I noticed, they keep a very slight voltage on most things like bulbs and relays, to monitor there health, this will be the approx 3 amps for that short time and 15 millamps is quite good for leakage Mines the same after about 2 weeks it starts to drain, so if you have a 90 AH battery, your battery should last 90AH / 0.15mA = 600 hr / 24 = 25 days I used a Jaguar CTEK charger on mine, its keeps the battery tip top, I also have a ctek charger on my Mitsubishi, when its not in use, another summer car and the battery on that is just coming up to 10 years old my S-type has a charge socket in the boot, when I put it in the garage I open the boot and plug in the charger, close the boot and thats it, it looks after the battery cheers Joe

Hi If it was working ok before the sender repair, then its got to be the sender or wiring If the sender was wired incorrect, then it would read wrong I'd take it back and get it checked, where the repair was done on some cars, when fitting new senders, they need recalibrating, but if your has the original one, just had the connector removed it should read the same I'm wondering if they got the wires mixed up when the removed the connector and fitted the crimps, sometimes the wires are all the same color and these could easily be mixed up and that would give the symptoms you mention cheers Joe

Hi Its control via a module via the engine ecu, glow time depends on temp I'd say you have lost some of the glowplugs and thats why you struggling you need check them with a multimeter, they read very low resistance usually less than 10 ohms here some info out of JTIS that might help cheers Joe

Jaguar drivers, are the worst drivers http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/770663/worst-drivers-UK-car-brand-Jaguar-bad-habits https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2962260/jaguar-drivers-are-britains-worst-with-eighty-six-per-cent-admitting-to-speeding/ http://cars.aol.co.uk/2017/02/27/jaguar-drivers-overtake-bmw-owners-are-britain-s-worst-motorists/ so come on, own up, is it any body on here what do you think? cheers Joe

Hi Best place is most probably Ebay, there should be a greater selection gaiter might not be that expensive new, so might be worth looking at new try, british car parts, they do jaguar and are usually reasonably priced cheers Joe

Hi no won't effect it, when the airbag goes off, the whole panel is blown off, there two straps at the top that stop it flying off and hitting the passenger, should swing right up and onto the dash cheers Joe
