I suppose at least you know that the fault reporting functionality is working even though you thought it was a wallet emptying situation. Bet £30 from a motorway service station didn't get you far? 

You would have to check the pointing on it first though 

48 when I got mine. With age comes wisdom 

Must admit it does look good in the pictures though. Guess the "loads of paper with this car" were the empty cement bags then?

Thanks for that guys. I'm not in any rush to get them fixed at the moment as they do both work eventually at the moment. I'll get a locksmith when the time comes though. Cheers. 

That's handy to know Elvis. Mine are a bit hit and miss. Did you have to send the keys away or are they local to you? Thanks 

I think I read somewhere that the sender is under the rear seats. Somebody with more knowledge than me will correct me if I'm wrong I'm sure. Was the gearbox okay before it was laid up?  Would seem to be related to lack of use if so. 

Sorry to hear that. Has the car not been used for a while?  Perhaps a gearbox service with new filter and fluids might be worth a shot first. Fuel sender shouldn't be a big problem though should it? I know how it feels to have a load of issues building up and its easy to get fed up but I hope you manage to get it sorted.

Good useful information. I tried to reset my windows as per earlier post I put up. I only managed to get the drivers window to work with one touch down but not one touch up. None of the other windows will operate with one touch. I've looked in my handbook and it does say that this is the case so surmising that it's a feature that's only fitted to newer models. Thanks again though for the info 

I know that you can buy adapter cables for the steering wheel controls but don't know if there is one for the s type. This one on eBay says that cables are available in the advert but I would be inclined to ask just to be sure.

Can't comment on the radio a part from looks OK for the money. I'd be making sure it will work with your steering wheel controls and cd changer if you have one, if that bothers you of course.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated. I'll give it a go tomorrow. Cheers

Hi guys, I'm curious if my car should have single press rather than press and hold for opening the windows?

The global opening / closure works so would have thought it should have?

Cheers

Blimey. It almost arrived before you ordered it. 

Same as mine 3.0 V6 according to the computer. I set trip A for me and B for the wife and I'm Mr Lightfoot lol. 

Thanks again guys. I guess your not local then Robin :). Cheers for the eBay Link Tim. I think mine are all chrome iirc. I'll have to take another look but see he does different ones as well so might have the correct ones for me. 

Thanks guys. It's a bit grim up where I am at the moment.

Hi guys, 
Been lurking on here for a few months now since i got my car and just wanted to quickly introduce myself. 
I've been mainly a Ford man since ive been driving. Owned most the classics from XR and RS range but always said to the wife I wanted a Jag when i retire. A few years from that now but came across this S type from a bloke I work with by chance. He practically gave it away as he wanted rid of it due to some issues the car has. 
Like i said have been on here doing some research and found a lot of great advice to point me in the right direction. Thanks. 
Here is what i know so far
Both rear suspension arms worn (rear tyres worn on inner edge)
ABS and DSC warning lights (only came on recently after previous owner was forced to make an emergency stop)
Damp in rear footwells.
And some smaller issues like the steering column adjusts when it feels like it and wheels a bit scabby with one missing the centre cap.
Anyhow rest is very good. Here are some pics.
