Hi I think its all controlled off the climate control module then there a few relays, the button on the dash and of course windscreen but i would of thought you would have to program it as fitted in ids/sdd wiring pic

Hi Dont know too much about the XF but on the s-type if you get a fault sometimes you can clear it by disconnecting the battery for a bit It will usually reset most things but make sure you have any codes required for stereo and such cheers Joe

Hi Paul, Its most probably video rca, a yellow plug you have to show me some pics when it arrives cheers joe

hi with navtool you have two video in, whats the video out on the smart nav they do a navtool with just 2 video in rca which is a lot cheaper, the navtool with 3 video in ( 1 hdmi 2x rca ) is a bit dearer ) but you will need a fm transmitter for sound what does the smartnav look like cheers joe

Hi Robert you can download a parts catalogue from sng barret here http://www.sngbarratt.com/DownloadArea.aspx also have a look here http://www.coffeeshopmenus.org/Parts_X-Type-Parts_2000-2005.pdf had a quick look but could not find have a look you might recognise it cheers joe

HI Have you fitted a new battery, usually a new battery cure's all the faults, is it fully charged, put it on a trickle charge over night, could of been sat in a shop for months cheers Joe

Hi Peter, Dunno really, I've all ways tinkered with cars and bikes, all my life really, Its interesting sometimes especially when you get to the engines dept its just nice to see how there put together, its for my little one really, wink wink will let you know what it like when i go I will be going the classic car show as well, there's some really nice cars there cheers Joe

hi Dennis looking at the second from bottom picture it says Outstanding campaign , R513 INCORRECT GEAR SELECTION ZF 6 SPEED I assume there was a call back for gearbox update I would also assume this would be free at a jaguar dealer I think this is the jerky 2nd to 1st issue, intermittant fault cheers joe

hi have you tried the discs the other way up they might be upside down, I did the same thing when i got my car cheers joe

Hi All Thinking of going on the Jaguar Factory Tour at Castle Bromwich later on this year looks quite good, lasts 3 hours and priced at £49 any body on here been, just wondered if it were any good cheers Joe

Hi John I looked into this and what i found was you need a sensor, which usually comes with the windscreen, so this means the screen is different, module, module apparently lives under the rear parcel shelf, the auto/wiper stalk and will need programming in this seems a lot of effort for auto wipers and then to top it off, apparently most people say they don't work very well, work erratic and wish they did not have it so i gave up after that, maybe someone else on here can give us some more information cheers Joe

Right this is all i could find Steve's Dennis looks like yours need a update

Hi All Just wondered if this was still on and if any body had any meeting place and dates in mind cheers Joe

Hi have you got the last 8 digits of your chassis number I can look on jaguar ids/sdd see if any info comes up cheers joe

Hi David You notice a common problem on the s-type's is battery is your battery fully charged, its one of the biggest problems, battery get low and you get loads of electrical faults followed by lots of warning lights check your battery, should be over 12 volts not running and a minimum of 14 volts with the engine running first place i would look cheers Joe

Hi I swapped the the old tired leaper and badge, the chrome had started to peel on the leaper For Black ones, there's not much chrome on the S type R's, looks different, think I prefer it. cheers

Yes but some wax's polish's need more elbow grease than others cheers

Hi Niall, I think the s-type v8's are great I put adamesh rear silencers on mine, which makes a superb sound now, too quiet standard there not too loud and just make a lovely burble just cruising around welcome to the club cheers Joe

Hi All Cheers this gives me a good starting place sometimes they claim polishes and waxes as miracle polishes then when you buy them and try them, your quite disapointed so its nice to see what other people have used cheers

Hi Craig Its hard sometimes to put prices on cars I allways look on ebay and autotrader for similar spec cars and use them as a baseline and adjust the price if yours has lesser millage and spec if you advertise it and its alot dearer than all the other cars, people might just overlook it and go onto a cheaper on if your car is really clean, good condition and lots of history, make sure you add loads of pictures, this can attract a lot of buyers attention cheers Joe

Hi All I'm after a descent car Wax/polish that give a good shine and lasts there's that many out there I don't where to start So what do you recommend, many thanks Joe

Hi Paul navtool is a interface so you can display video on the factory jag touchscreen its got hdmi and two rca video inputs on it you can flick between the two nav and video, via a switch/button so you can plug your phone into it and display on the jag touchcreen, play dvd films and there also one dedicated for reverse camera its video only so you would have to use something like fm transmitter for sound they look quite good cheers Joe

Hi Paul I have fitted a few in car pc's for audio and navigation, but nowadays your mobile phone is way faster than most tablets or pc's I use my android phone which is extremely fast and i can do it all by voice command and theres a huge selection of apps out there I fitted a Rii geartist GB01, which is a bluetooth fm transmitter, but is extremely clear and sound quality is superb, no noise or hissing basically when im in the car, my phone pairs to the car for hands free but any media sound is transfered to the paired gb01 to a fm stereo channel so i can play all my music and i use google maps or co-pilot for sat nav, with google maps you get steet view, which is great and you can use nav apps like co pilot which is great and tomtom all have live traffic and cameras my phone sits high on the dash on a custom bracket, sits just above touch screen which looks greats, sound comes out of car speakers and is all voice controlled I can even position my phone a bit higher and use apps like dash buddy which will video windscreen view as i see it just in case there a accident in front you have much more access to apps and internet with your phone I have a sony xperia z3+ and its brilliant in car, my xperia is 8x1500mhz cores, over 20 mega pixel camera, 4g, records 4k and plays 4k, has a 128gb micro sd in it, much better than most tablets and pc's eventually i will buy a navtool which i will be able to send the phone screen, through hdmi to the jaguar touch screen, was going to buy a ACM, but since using my phone with the car, its much better cheers Joe

Hi Paul Never used that type before, are they any good cheers Joe

HI RS or Farnell cheers Joe
