HI Has you car got the touch screen display, if its the same as the s-type you can bring up engine fault codes up on that cheers joe

Unfortunately had the same problem from returning from holiday Sunday battery was dead and therefore, would not start the car. I simply placed my battery booster into the cigarette lighter socket which retrospectively trickle charged the battery. Half an hour later the battery turned the starter motor over and started the car. I took it for a decent drive and all was well. I'm in a fortunate position whereupon I can place the car in the garage and leave unlocked therefore, there is no drain on the battery when left standing on this occasion my Son had used the car returned to the garage and locked the car, idiot the garage is alarmed.

Have you reset the sat nav to UK after having power off?

It is, Steve. I think it also affects the XJ - new shape. Regards, Peter.

Although in darkens colours, like Tim Jag, the waterfall(?), looks awesome too.

Steve, very nice. I have to say, the mesh just wins it for me in the looks department. Is yours a V6 or V8?

Hi Tim Apologies for delay in replying. There were little bits left after all the vertical strips came out, I used the hacksaw to take them as close to the remaining 'Frame' as possible, then simply used rough grade glass paper to smooth it all around. When happy, I used a rag soaked in clean water only to clean it up. Left it for a couple of minutes to dry (enough time for a !Removed! and a slurp of my pint ) took it in the storage shed, and gave it a spray. While that was drying, I got on with the lower air intake. If you do this and have to buy the hacksaw I used, get your self some spare blades, the one supplied is about as useful as stick of liquorice! I used 32 TPI. A couple of tips, to separate the chrome surround from the back piece, use a small flat blade screw driver, 1/4 - 1/2 inch wide to gently lever apart, bear in mind the plastic has got soft / brittle with age and weathering, there are tabs on the underside that should click together, they really are very soft, and would easily break, the problem you will have, comes when introducing the mesh, the tabs are not designed to cater for the extra thickness of the mesh ( your basically making a sand which the mesh being the filler) I had to flatten the mesh slightly, I found it to be too rounded, I used my knee and a little bit of pressure to reduce the arc, be careful not crease it, it will be ruined if you do. Once I introduced the mesh to the 'Frame' and then lined up the chrome piece on top, that was a faff!, I 'persuade' the tabs on the back to engage, thereby locking the mesh in place, I used the same flat blade screwdriver, again please note the tabs are soft, and will break quite easy, I was lucky! One thing I was really lucky with, was the type of mesh to get, I ordered it, and one of the guys from adamesh actually phoned me to make sure I have the correct one, it turns out I didn't! I sent a photo of the car, and the guy adjusted the order for me. Next thing for me, will probably be the rear boxes, I have the Sport model so may as well have the boxes! CD needs replacing, but I'm not brave enough just yet, the guys have been really helpful, just need to get my head around the info given to me. Anyhow, please shout if I can help in anyway Regards Steve
