Hi Tim The low voltage of a flat battery has probably corrupted one or more of the many computer modules which control everything in the car (hence Wrinkly's advice on using a CTek which many of us do). A flat battery during first lockdown in mine resulted in non-unlocking rear doors and non-functioning rear windows. The solution is probably to get the software unscrambled. Jaguar dealers will probably want an arm and a leg but garages with the Autologic diagnostic systems seem to be able to sort quite cheaply. I remember there is a garage in Sutton Coalfield(?) which has been mentioned here a few times but probably not viable from Cheshire as you can't get it started. I would ring round Jag specialists in the North west. Jagman in Wigan has a good reputation and I think there is one in North Wales and another in Liverpool that have been recommended here. Good luck John

Tim You need to invest in a CTEX MS 7 or MS 10 battery charger/restorer and keep your battery well charged at all times. My S Type goes on charge at least once a week for at least 24 hours. Jaguar are prone to Parasitic Discharge and will cause many faults and problems if not kept on a high charge, Best Wishes and Regards, John

I had new front tyres fitted in January. 255/35/R20 97W at national tyres. I now need new rear tyres. Upon shopping around I notice that Halfords believe that my car should have different sized rear tyres to the front - 295/30/R20 No other tyre garage appears to think like this and I must admit, I have never heard of the requirement to vary the tyre sizes front to rear unless the were exceptions such as towing a caravan, of which I have none of. Is this actually a thing or are Halfords trying to pull some wool. If they are, why? As the 2 sets of tyres are the same price

hi Iv put a picture of faults, I can’t start it or even get the steering lock off, I have no interior lights either but everything els is working,,!!! Any subjections please
