Hi it might be worth if you know your way around a ameter to check what battery drain you have, mine went flat after about 2 weeks, when i tested it i had something draining the battery more than i would of expected turned out my car had a tracker hidden in the boot, no paper work with the service history but the tracker had a battery attached to the side of it, which was no good and causing basically a high drain on the battery once i removed the tracker and battery, now the battery last ages with no problems, but i still used the genuine jaguar trickle charger to keep it tip top cheers joe

HI yes no problem cheers joe

hi It dont matter, there was a few, just thought i could delete them myself, you can delete your own post on other forums, thought i could here cheers though joe

Hi Peter how do you delete a post I checked and double checked, I could not find how to delete the duplicated posts cheers joe

Hi yes just the one amp above the multichanger/nav unit mine has just the subs in the rear shelf cheers joe

Hi I would use the trickle charger then, ive got one on mine and it stays on all the time its in the garage its a genuine jaguar trickle charger but it made by ctek its superb, these are quite safe, as long as you put a fuse as close as possible to the battery Ive never had any problems, but i know what you mean. cheers joe

Hi all Ive noticed something, sometimes i put a post up and it says failed then when i look, it gone on, but its put the post on twice any body else had this cheers Joe

Hi Paul, Will drop on a ACM eventually, will keep looking, don't think i will buy a new one. Did you fit yours or is it OE cheers Joe

Hi it has 4 speakers and 4 tweeters in the doors and two subs are mounted in the rear parcel shelf there all off the same amp the subs just give the bass, there all alpine on mine and you can adjust the bass on the touch display sound is superb, I would change anything on the sound system, sound wise its spot on, apart to add a audio connectivity module so i could play music from a flash drive cheers Joe

Hi Jim, usually on diesels this time of year, its glow plugs, but glow plugs are mainly when the cars cold and first thing in the morning but yours is just after its just stood for a few hours, I'd be tempted to swap the diesel filter and check the air filter cheers Joe

Hi my fathers car sits on the drive sometimes for a while before he uses it and his battery was going low so when it had a new battery, i bought him a small solar panel that sat on his rear parcel shelf and charged his car by sunlight when he was'nt using it something like this might help you, it was from maplin and under £15 cheers joe

Hi yes its under a £1 at morrisons and tesco's here I also filled my car up last time I was out, It makes a change getting more litres than pounds you have paid cheers joe

Hi my s type has the premium sound system, speakers are by alpine and the sound and bass is excellent I checked the manual and it has a total of 10 speakers and two of those are subs in the rear shelf so you should be able to upgrade you speakers if wanted better sound cheers joe

Hi If your not able to get back in, then the only way i think is with SDD/IDS jaguar software dont know if theres any body local to you who has it, a jaguar dealer will do it and it should only cost 1 hours labour I'd of thought disconnecting the battery for 30mins would of cured this but you have allready tried it cheers joe

cheers

Hi Howard, this might help cheers Joe TOUCH_SCREEN_AND_VOICE.pdf

Hi All, Stoke On Trent, Potteries!!

Hi petrol or diesel cheers Joe

Hi Don't know much about induction kits on the x type but I do know you need to fit one that draws cold air from the front of the car If you just slap a big K&N cone filter on it, it might look cool and sound great, but I can guarantee you will lose power, due to sucking hot air from the engine bay you want greater flow but the air temp needs to be cooler just by fitting a K&N replacement panel filter in your standard air box, enlarging the airbox opening and fitting a cold air duct from the airbox to the front area, will gain more benefits than any open type filter in the engine bay. cheers Joe

Hi Geoff I bought a geartist GB01 off ebay it was about £21 and is great basically its a car hands free with bluetooth and fm transmitter you pair your phone with it and and set it to any blank fm signal, then tune to it in the fm radio station, the quality is great with no noise or interferance its great to play all the music off your phone and on mine when the phone is on the dash i can use the " ok google " to play anything on my phone by voice, get google to send text messages and to set a navigation point in google maps, you can use basically every thing on your phone and the sound comes out of your speakers in great sound you have the option to use the full hands free but i uncheck that, as i use the built in handfree from my jaguar s-type, i just select all the sound from my phone to the car stereo, to play music, basically all the sound from your phone is sent to the car speakers as i dont use the phone hands free, mines mounted inside my armrest, out of sight and plugged in the 12v socket really nice , here are some links off ebay, might be cheaper on amazon cheers joe

Hi have a look here http://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s-type-s-type-r-supercharged-v8-x200-15/2005-front-bumper-skin-removal-w-pics-faq-28534/ cheers joe

Hi cats usually fail when they have run lean, they get too hot and melt, usual culprit is a failing lambda sensor can cause a one bank to run lean LPG has the same effect as well, lpg cars can run hotter and cause higher exhaust temps, melting cats and other common problems are valves on lpg cars industrial gas and lpg engines usually have special valves to combat this cheers Joe

Hi that usually sounds like the thrust bearing on the clutch, but then i noticed you've got a diesel most diesels have a dual mass flywheel, basically the flywheel is in two pieces with rubber between them, stops noise and vibration but as the cars get older the rubber perishes and you get the noise, can be expensive to fix if the noise stops when you press the clutch very lightly it could be thrust bearing if you have to press all the way its most likely flywheel, both jobs will require gear box off and it would be sensible to fit a new clutch while the box was off it might worth checking the level of oil in the gearbox, when you press the clutch in, the internals in the gearbox stop rotating cheers Joe
