Thanks guys for the info. The one you said joe sounds like the dogs dangles! I don't have XP running on the laptop anymore. So might get a hand held one for the time being just to see if the coil packs or spark plugs are to blame for the rough running. Any recommendations for one I should go for? When I bought the car I serviced it with Castrol EDGE 5-30 oil that was recommended by the main dealer. But it's not A5/B5 spec. So I have just bought 20L of Motul 5-30 A5/B5 from the Opie oil boys for £82 delivered. Very high spec 100% synth with a great TBN number. I used a discount code of the net to get a 10% discount. It says it's for Ford and Jags! So I'm hoping that will keep the old girl a happy bunny 😎

I need some advice plz guys. I need to get a hand held code reader for my Jag. Does anyone have any recommendations for the 3.0L with an auto box? Cheers Tim

I always say Jag now that I have one!😎 But always say GT4 when I take her out for a spin to👍

Hi Peter, Russ and the Voice... Thanks guys for all the info. I never knew that the Rolls had a Buick engine! Or that the chassis was designed in Detroit. If Porsche had a hand in it! Then it must be a bit of a cracker. Maybe share the floor pan of the Town Car? I've just noticed today that there is a crack in the rubber seal on that I think might be a knock/Cam sensor? Its on the near side bank just b4 the last coil pack closest the bulk head! Although, I might be wrong to what it is tbh. 🤔 Cheers Tim

Hi all... I've get my hands on a S-Type 3.0L auto SE on an "X" plate (2000 year?) with genuine 64k on the clock. I was wondering if anyone knows if it's a 5 or 6 speed box? I know it's a ZF unit so contacted the manufacturer! But they couldn't tell me. I was chatting to a guy at work this morning and he said it's NOT a "Real" jag as it has a Ford engine and gearbox on a Mondao chassis!!! Can anyone enlighten me to what it is plz? Cheers 😎👍

Mine ticks over at about 750rpm when warm to. On start up it goes to about the 1500rpm and then after about 20 sec it goes down to around the 850rpm mark. My 3.0L SE auto is only doing 18.2mpg. And that's without the sports mode switched on! My drive is almost all around town! So is this about right??? just waiting now to change the plugs and the coil packs, maybe next week with the near side rocker cover and gasket as it's leaking... Sorry to hijack your post 🤓

I've changed the engine oil and filter (MANN) on my 2000 (X reg) 3.0Ltr V6 SE auto using Castrol EDGE oil 5w-30 as recommend by the Jag main dealer! But I'm starting to wonder if this is the correct oil for the car!!! Can anyone give me some advise on this please as I don't want to mess up a 64k motor. Any help would be very much appreciated cheers

Cheers guys for all your advise. I've spoken to that fella Russ at http://www.berkshirejagcomp.co.uk/ and he was very helpful indeed. I had also spoken to my local Jag main dealer about the coil packs! And even the trade price was higher than Berkshire deal and his are genuine Jag parts. So I know where I'll be getting them from next week. I'll also get the upper inlet gaskets at the same time. The spark plugs I've already bought are NGK - TR6AP-13E which I understand are platinum ones. Did you need any other parts when you did your plugs and coil packs? Cheers Tim cheersAP-13E (4968) replaces PTR6D-13 (5598) for Jaguar

Hi... I have a 3.0Ltr V6 auto S-Type jag on an "X" plate (2000 year) with 64k on the clock with a full Jag service history. Up until now it's been purrrrring on Shell V-Power Nitro + fuel and just used Archoil AR 6400 cleaner. I have been smelling oil burning coming into the cabin! And can see that the near side cam cover rocker cover gasket is leaking. It's now sounding like its Misfiring from the sound of the near side exhaust and the engine is "Rocking" a little from side to side and a lot of white smoke was chuffing out of both rear pipes. I drove the car the other day and the the amber engine warning light started to "Flicker" so I stopped and turned the engine off. On re-starting I heard a scratch sound and the car then ran fine all the way to work when it warmed up. I have bought a genuine jag near side rocker cover that has the rubber gasket built in! Sooooo! To my questions!... If I were to replace the 6 coil packs with genuine jag parts and all the spark plugs with the recommended NGK double platinum would this solve my problems? Could someone give me a talk through on how to change the rocker cover (cam cover) and the spark plug/fuel injector change and the parts I need please? I see that to get to the off side bank you need to take off the inlet manifold! Are there gaskets I need to get for that? Any help on this would be very much appreciated! As well as torque wrench settings for the cover bolts. cheers😎
