It could possibly be the parking aid module located in the spare wheel well . Check for any water ingress . Cheers , Andy .

S type wheels on a X type ?
Hi Philip , i would have thought that they would fit straight on yours without any spacers . I have had s type wheels on my x type with no problems . From memory i think the s type uses a slightly wider tyre profile , i,m sure one of the other members will be able to clarify this . I had the correct tyres on my rims 225 45 17 . Regards , Andy .

REPLACING WINDSCREEN WIPERS
Hi Graham , i put these on last year and they have worked fine and as cheap as chips . I thought if they were no good then no big deal . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/22-19-Front-Aero-VU-Flat-Wiper-Blades-Windscreen-Window-Jointless-Beam-Upgrade-/351089214241?hash=item51be8c4321:g:7uMAAOxyIv5Tkvpq They take a few minutes to fit . Regards , Andy .

Small Flashers!!
I thought it was just me imagining things . Some of the newer cars have indicators that you can hardly see these days and on some models seem to be getting higher and higher up making them very difficult to see . I think it's more about styling than safety unfortunately .

Waving at each other

s type sports button
Hi Karl , i have a 3.0 X- type auto and in sport mode i can certainly feel the difference . In sport mode the car holds on to the gears longer before changing . Maybe you have a faulty button / loose connection . Maybe another member can shed some more light on your problem . Regards , Andy .

Oil change interval.
I had a full service done on my 3.0 X - Type on 27-04-16 using Castrol Magnatec 5w / 30 Ford spec fully synthetic oil . I have just checked my mileage and have only done 732 miles since . Question is should i change the oil again or will it still be ok . I've had a look on the net and there are many conflicting views . Any ideas ??? Regards , Andy .

Issues with my x type
Hi Stefan , wow you have had a bad start to Jaguar ownership . I don't think it's a Jaguar thing , just second hand cars in general . I have owned dozens of cars and some have been good to me and some have tested my patience to the limit . I would stick with it , get it sorted and hopefully start enjoying it . E-bay is a good source for used parts and i'm sure a few members will give you a few pointers with some of your problems . Regards , Andy.

Audible beeping when turning hard right
Had the same problem on a previous vehicle and brake pads were very low , must use more brake fluid to push the pistons further . Put new pads on and warning sound when turning hard right disappeared straight away . Regards , Andy .
