  1. hi

    you should get a better idea once codes are read

    its usually a abs sensor and sometimes abs unit which can easily be fixed

    see what codes you get

    also icarsoft LR v3 are very good for our cars, but only jaguar based and icarsoft cr pro is even better works with all car makes.

    cheers

  2. hi

    did you wait 40 minutes so the car goes asleep

    you have to put tape over the boot switch, so it thinks its locked, or as soon as you open the boot or doors the car will wake up and you got wait 40 minutes again

    if you want workshop manual look here http://www.jagrepair.com/

  4. hi

    going off that last picture, I would say you have a air leak on one bank,

    and if plugs were done, hope all the gaskets were changed for new genuine ones, some of the cheap ones don't seal, or its going be a perished pipe

    also at 62k engine should still be like new, unless its been really abused and its never had any Oil changes

    have you done a compression test yourself, I'd check it yourself and check all the hoses and gaskets while your in there

    otherwise take it a different garage and explain what gone on and see what they diagnose, if your not handy with cars yourself, but this is a reasonably straight forward job

    cheers

  5. hi

    blowing constant hot air is very rarely a aircon issues

    its either a faulty dual coolant control valve or climate control module, a bad dual coolant control valve, can also take the climate module out, so both may need replacing at 90% of the times

    cheers

  7. hi

    all the engines are very good as long as there looked after

    the 4.2's V8's are very smooth, I have the S-type R and the engine is amazing, so smooth and can be driven very lazy and effortless, you can barely tell when it changes gear

    if your after a manual, thens its a 3.0 as the 4.2 is only auto, but I think if you want altimate cruiser, then it auto, they drive so much nicer

    cheers

  8. hi

    I would check all the wiring by testing it back to the ecu

    could be a break in the steering column wiring and you have disturbed it, would also try the old pickup coil of the old ignition switch, I'm sure they come off and can be swapped.

    if you need any wiring diagrams to check the wiring look here http://www.jagrepair.com/

    when did it last run and what did you do after that stopped it starting.

    cheers

    Joe
