Just a question:   I am still trying to get used to the new Website layout.

How are others finding it?

I can see some big improvements, and there is no doubt I will get used to it.

Peter.

 

Hi Peter,

I have just posted this

 

perhaps this is the cause of my tapatalk problem?

I had the same with my driver's door seal, as far as I can remember the cover is just pull off.

Thanks for the quick response, I'll be a little bit more brutal and try again 

Good morning all,

I hope this is the right area to ask, if not can the Mods move to the correct location 

Just a quick inquiry, has the forum been updated recently, it was offline on earlier in the week, as I'm having trouble with my tapatalk logon,

this is the only site I can't read anything on, the other forums (fora?) I visit are fine on my phone.

I tried deleting then re-installing on tapatalk but no luck, everything is fine when using my laptop.

Thanks

more info: tapatalk comes back with "Network error,please try again later. (get_config)

I expect this has been asked before but I can't find any information,

how do I remove the plastic strip that holds the carpet and inner door seal?

Does it slide one way to release from the clips (like my Rover 75), I don't want to force it and break

something.

My inner door seal has torn where it has been rubbed getting in and out, never noticed

when I bought the car, I have already bought a good second hand replacement to fit.

Thanks in anticipation

 

Hello, from Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire

I don't know about the technical stuff, but I have to say that is a beautiful car [emoji7]

and from me, got a very large glass of Glenmorangie helping me to watch the fireworks [emoji6]

Leaper lost  :D I wasn't keen on it myself, held on with bits of wire.

Thinking about a bonnet mascot, I've read the thread and am leaning towards one.

No ACM if it's in the centre console compartment, only a power socket.

Had it up on a lift this morning, smoke is coming from passenger side between the engine and bulkhead.

The exhaust does not sound like its leaking, although there is a tiny leak from

the joint after the cat on the offside (not causing the problem).

Time to contact the dealer and see if I can get it looked at by my local garage.

Regards to all

I'd like to hear a "back to back" difference between the standard and the premium sound Dave. It's one of my intended retrofits.

I bet yours doesn't have auto powerfolds

I'll be bringing it to the Nano Paul, you can have a good look then and compare.

No to the auto powerfolds, but I bet I know a man who does   :D

Looks great Dave. I hope you're impressed.

Looks as thought there's not much to retro-fit. Have you got the premium sound system?

Yes it's got the premium sound system, headlight washers, movable lumbar support, bluetooth phone and more. In fact I don't think I've found it all yet. Only missing things I've found reading the handbook is adaptive cruise and pedal adjustment.

I am having the exhaust looked at tomorrow to see if the flexi is cracked.

I am very impressed with it, once the smell is gone it will be even better to drive.

My one criticism is no footrest like the Rover.

Took some pictures today with my phone:

Not very good, too sunny here in Tewkesbury   :D

Welcome Tim from another new

member, I've had mine for just

over a week. [emoji1]

I guess you know what I'm going to say Paul, I really enjoy the Nano meets. (That's a yes from me) [emoji6]

Hi David,

 

I do know the place and once went there to look at a car, but no-one was there.

 

If you do come up, send me a PM and I will give you my 'phone number.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Thanks Peter, I'll do that.

cheers

Hi David,

 

Which Sutton Coldfield dealer did you get your car from?  I live in Sutton Coldfield!

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Hi Peter,

 got it from Bransons Motors, Back Grove farm Estate, Wishaw.

Very pleased with it apart from the smell, I'll take it to my local

garage, if an easy fix I'll get it done, if not, as Arnie says "I'll be back" 

Dave, if F3 doesn't get rid of your fumes problem then it's likely to be a crack in the flexi joint in one or other of the exhausts.

Thanks Paul, I wasn't sure about the heater, if it still smells I'll be on to the dealer I bought it from. [emoji1]

Fuse 3? What does that disable?

have a look at this thread:

http://www.jaguarownersclub.com/forums/topic/12554-auxiliary-heater/

mine smells slightly of fumes and found this thread  :D

Thanks all, 

picked it up today, lovely drive back from Sutton Coldfield

apart from the rain. I find the ride harsher than my Rover 75

probably due to the larger wheels and lower profile tyres.

Browsing the forum found out about pulling fuse 3 in the engine

bay to hopefully stop the smell of fumes.

I'll see you at the Nano in March Paul, perhaps cast your eye

over it and see what you think.

I will try and get some pictures this weekend weather permitting.

 

Regards

Dave T

Hello all,

Picking up my new (to me) Jaguar S type SE (2007) tomorrow.

I blame Paul (Raistlin), Hi Paul,  :D  I saw his Jag at the Midlands Nano meets 

and have wanted one ever since, for now it will sit alongside my Rover 75.

I will post some pictures when I can.

 

Regards to all
