Hi Dave.....welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard!

Hi Marcus.....welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard!

Hi Nigel.....welcome to the Forum Quite some provenance with the car Good to have you onboard!

Hi Barrie Sounds like it could be the trunking containing the wiring to the drivers door that may contain the problem. As the door opens and closes the wiring (within the trunking) articulates and can result in the wires breaking. An easy way to try it is to hold the door open and while pressing the window switch down, try wiggling the wiring to hopefully make the circuit (broken wire) and if the window moves the your problem is within this area. I am in Bournemouth area if you get completely stuck for assistance Cheers, Trevor

Dan, You can tag David in your post and it will notify him. Alternatively, you can private message him through here.

How did you get on with finding a replacement Jaguar?

Hi Dennis.....welcome to the Forum Glad to hear you are happy with the Jag and sounds like it was important work that needed carrying out like any other car to maintain its road-worthiness. It is always satisfying seeing the difference it makes after cleaning the plastic lenses 🙂 Good to have you onboard

Go for it....photos always enhance an advert

Hi Craig.....welcome to the Forum Headlamp washers work when the headlights are switched on and the washers activated. You'll probably need someone to flick the windscreen washers while you are round the front of the car looking to see if the jets appear. Good to have you onboard

Hi Andrew....welcome to the Forum Great introduction! Good to have you onboard

Hi Tony As Peter has mentioned, the F-PACE section of the forum is a lot quieter than other sections. However, the forums do have a lot of 'Lurkers' who like to view the information but not necessarily post in them. This does tend to create a sort of GhostTown feeling but the forums are quite heavily visited over time. If you have any suggestions to add any particular section within the forums, such as Peter has suggested about general discussion topics or something a bit more specific then please let us know and we would be happy to integrate it into the forums. Regards. Trevor

Hi, welcome to the Forum Certain XF servo's superceeded the S-Type servo with a later number. A quick search on this site may reveal the number in one of the posts. Seem to also recall David Manners had something on their website. Replaced one a while ago and found corrosion on the valve which was letting air out from the vacuum side and was noticable by the noise emitted when applying the brake. Could not repair it so was scrap. Fitted a later XF one which worked a treat.

Hi Brian ..... welcome to the Club Welcome back also to the wonderful world of Jaguar! Plenty of good information on here to keep your S Type in good running order Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Dave....welcome to the Club ...and welcome to the wonderful world of Jaguar It's a fine looking XF and glad you're happy with it, who wouldn't be 🙂

Hi.....welcome to the Forum

Hi Andrew I think it may be wise to leave the bonnet open in the sun and let things dry out and then go through each individual component that could have been affected. It may be worth leaving the cambelt till last to assume its that at fault and saves tearing the engine down for something that may be a simple cure. I would start with any ignition components and sensor (including crank and cam sensors as these can fit the symptoms you are describing) As long as the engine did not chronically overheat then the internals and gaskets should be fine. Let us know how it goes and what you find

Hi Arek......welcome to the Club Hope you're enjoying the Jag, assuming that you can actually take it out for a drive in this lockdown. Good to have you onboard Cheers. Trevor

Hi Mark.....welcome to the Club Sorry for the late response. I seem to recall Reggie Perrin living there but fondly remember his reference to his mother-in-law as a Hippo 🙂 What sort of issues has the XK8 had? Good to have you onboard Cheers. Trevor

Hi Simon....welcome to the Club Sorry for the late reply. Wow! 12 Jags in 8 years, thats true devotion! Certainly looks clean and sounds like you got a bargain there. Good to have you onboard Cheers Trevor
