Hi It all depends what the original wheel and tyre sizes were, if you change the overall diameter it will effect the speedo usually if you go up a size like 18" to 19" you have to drop the profile a size if you look in your handbook or drivers door pillar area it should state tyre sizes and pressures, see what you had on originally if you google "tyre wheel calculator" there are loads of site where you can compare wheel sizes and tyre sizes, so you will see how it will effect your speedo also the lower profile you make the tyre, the choppier/rougher the ride will get cheers Joe

hi then ebay your best bet the link above is a guy who shares all the info he has on the jaguar, there's lots of info, a lot of it is on the s-type, manuals and software, there's also a image of the sat nav 2012 dvd, which you can download and burn to a DL DVD. cheers Joe

Hi there's usually loads on ebay, just make sure it has 14 wires if it got 14 wire it has every thing on the mirror have a look here http://www.jaguarownersclub.com/forums/topic/14680-powerfold-mirror-question/#comment-44627 cheers Joe

Hi Phil Ctek do some good car battery chargers I have a jaguar one, its a ctek one, with a jaguar logo on it the jaguar kit comes with a socket you mount inside the boot and connect to the battery, through a fuse if you connecting direct to the battery, just make sure it still has its vent tube fitted, it a tube from the battery that goes into the tyrewell and out the back panel, when you charge batteries you get a explosive gas, it should vent out the back panel, behind the bumper, just check its still there, as some people forget to put them back if they have had the battery out. it ok to charge the battery with it still connected, make sure it a smart charger, not just a continuous charger, as it will just boil it dry cheers Joe

Hi When I go out, I do the driving and my STR does the drinking!!! cheers Joe

Hi Paul Is there much difference in weight between the two cheers Joe

Hi So that means the bumper could also be different let us know how you go on cheers Joe

hi Think it will fit, as wings and headlights are the same the bonnet has slight contour differences, metal ones, humps behind each headlight go further back, aluminium ones the humps behind the headlights are shorter and theres a raised curve that goes from the grill to the corners of the bonnet, which the steel one does not have there slightly lighter, but are more prone to corrosion, due to the reaction between steel and aluminium only way to tell is try and fit it. post some pics up as you go on cheers joe

Hi Try getting someone to move the wires in the door shut area, they tend to snap wires there where the door keeps opening and closeing if nothing working, it might be a break in the 12v feed to the switch pack cheers Joe

Hi I get it plugged in to see if there's any faults logged, might just need faults clearing thats where I'd start is the engine management light on cheers Joe

Hi If they list them you can use them, got no experience with the XKR My S-type R had all ways had genuine Jaguar pads fitted, they worked well and had the occasional irritating brake squeal, but I ended up swapping over to EBC pads, red stuff, solely because the jaguar ones gave lots of brake dust, the EBC red stuff, you get next to none Mintex pads have been out for years and have proven braking qualities. I have a lot of parts from british car parts and can recommend them https://www.britishparts.co.uk/ just out of curiosity, what makes you ask the question cheers Joe

Hi Just lately I've noticed the most dazzling cars with lights seem to be BMW's, Mercedes and Nissan's all under 3 years old the lights on them, are much blue'r and allways seem to dazzle me cheers Joe

hi what year and engine size s yours have you tried https://www.britishparts.co.uk/ cheers Joe

hi Jason bank 1 r/h side cylinder 1,3,5,7. and upstream, upper one also I use jaguar IDS/SDD software and mongoose lead, this is what jaguar use and fault codes on it, usually tell you what the fault is and how to remedy it. some info for you

Hi the fault code will tell you which one to replace P1646 is not listed on my list you need to get it plugged in on IDS/SDD software, jaguar diagnostic software same with the abs fault, get it plugged in on IDS/SDD and it will tell you exactly where the fault is, usually a wheel sensor also if its a sensor on the abs, this can give you a engine management fault like limp mode, because it uses these for transmission and engine cheers Joe

HI Paul I fitted some in peugeot, there a bit brighter and have slightly blue light off them, there no where near as bright as HID bulbs don't think there worth the £20 most are selling for cheers Joe

Hi Give us a clue, what car, year and model we talking about cheers Joe

hi have you checked the tyre pressures, can make quite a difference on a heavy car Ive known them sometimes not to seal on the rim and one might have a slight leak just check the tyres as well, if there directional, some times they have rotation arrow on them the tyre fitters should of checked these, but they might of got missed cheers Joe

Hi when i did mine, I just good car wax on them if you have descent car wax, it all ways says uv protection on the wax did mine over a year ago and they still look like new cheers Joe

Hi Its far cheaper to get a set of replacement wheels there was some one selling the stainless rims for the jaguar bbs alloys, he wanted £100 each just the the stainless part what size wheels and tyre's are on at the moment cheers joe

Hi some stereo's if you get the code wrong 3 times will lock you out for 30 minutes and every time you get it wrong after that it will double the wait time. 1hr, 2hr, 4hr if you can get it out and power it up, it might ask for a code, after the time period do you have a pic of the stereo or make and model cheers Joe

Hi I think if had ones of these you could easily remove the trim on the boot lid to expose the boot release solenoid you could tie some nylon type fishing line, to the solenoid arm, which will still allow free movement, then go toward the boot hinge that pulls the boot open solenoid, then down the boot hinge cover and down the side of the seat. so if you get stuck out, you can open the rear door and pull the line at the side of the seat you pulled in most cars that had cable pull boot had this as standard for emergencies cheers Joe
