Jaguar Owners Club

Maybe eBay is the best place to gauge a value by starting with one at a low price and see how it bids up so you know rough price for when you sell the others

Hi Jax....welcome to the Club It is either a case of the reading the handbook/manual from cover to cover or just focusing on the smaller picture of what you need to know at the time and learning as you go along....it can get quite overwhelming trying to suss out all the gadgets 🙂 Good to have you onboard!

Hi Vince.....welcome to the Club Welcome also to the wonderful world of Jaguar! Good to have you onboard!

Hi Joesph.....welcome to the Club Its one of those things that is quite commonplace on a lot of modern engines and with the constant thought of oil pump or timing chain failure in your mind it can detract from the enjoyment of driving and owning the car. I would personally service it to the hilt and enjoy it and not let the concerns put you off....saying that though I would still listen out for any noises that weren't there before to be on the safe side 🙂 Good to have you onboard!

Hi Martyn.....welcome to the Club Exciting times ahead then 🙂 Good to have you onboard!

Hi Wayne.....welcome to the Club Welcome also to the wonderful world of Jaguar Good to have you onboard!

Hi Alan.....welcome to the Club Hopefully you can find the next Jaguar of your dreams (or memories to be more precise). It will go well with the collection of cars and bikes you already have Good to have you onboard!

Hi Stephen.....welcome to the Club Feel free to start up a local Jagaur Owners Club meeting in your area if you wish. We can assist with promoting the meetings (usually local pub with large carpark) when COVID restrictions finally lift

Absolutely, they are superbly engineered and there is no reason that with the correct routine maintenance it should go on indefinitely

What kit was he using to code the car?

Yes, as far as I remember they are interference engines Has the chain gone?

Hi Paula.....welcome to the Club She certainly is photogenic 🙂 Good to have you onboard

The only thing I can think of is the valve clearances if the valve seats were to recede slightly due to running on poor quality fuel and pre-ignition which can cause this (best to run on 97 octane and additives) If clearances change then re-shimming may become necessary

Hi Nigel....welcome to the Club Feel free to dive into answering any posts Good to have you onboard!

Hi Grant.....welcome to the Club I would advise carrying out a search in the forums to see what faults come up for these models and engines Hope you find a good example of the Jaguar you're after, I'm sure there's some good ones out there

Hi.....welcome to the club I would be tempted to disconnect the battery, leave for a short while and then reconnect (negative off first and on last). The try to plip the locks with the key fob and see if it reads the keys after a few attempts. Here's some info on battery reset but for S-Type but some functions may not work but may also be helpful to see procedures

Hi Tony......welcome to the Club That is worrying if it cuts whilst driving. Has the car had enough prolonged usage to charge the battery? If not, this can lead to similar issues as can leaving the car sat for many days/weeks at a time. Has the fuel filter been replaced recently?

Hi Nigel.....welcome to the Club Fine choice(s) of cars....a car for every occasion! Good to have you onboard!

Hi David....welcome to the Club I agree with Peter, sounds like the pre-heater emitting fumes into the cabin. Ensure it is not running constantly and that it times out after a few minutes

So who's up for this Jaguar show at Beaulieu this year? https://www.beaulieu.co.uk/events/simply-jaguar/
