What a saga you've had. At least you had the understanding to DIY. Best of luck and happy parking.

Morning Christopher, Thanks for your post, the clicking is still going on, although the gurgles have almost disappeared. I will find the pollen filter and remove it and give the flaps a full workout. I'll let you know the result. Happy miles with you new S. Alan.

Hi Peter, Thanks for your response. I have made a note of what you said, however having watched the mechanic, there are two plastic screws holding the side liner on, pull this back and disconnect the two blocks and re fix and we were off. No radio or windows or alarm to re-set, I was surprised when you said it is a symptom of low battery, as only the day before we had had quite a long run out. I will get the battery checked. Thanks again. Alan.

Had a handbrake problem today. Returned to my car, started up and about to set off when 'Handbrake Fault' appeared. tried all combinations and footbrake and handbrake without success, plus lots of ignition on / offs also no joy. Was thinking I was going to need a new battery I rang my local garage who quickly came out with the OBD ? reader, which showed up that the footbrake was not registering. He went into the boot and removed the side liner above the battery and pulled apart and re set two electrical block connectors. Started up, fault signal gone and car able to move. No cost, wow !! Worth remembering in case it happens when you are stuck. Happy motoring. Alan.

you need to inform your insurance re all modifications to the car. I reported mine, the agent went off to check and there was nothing extra to pay. My insurance said that a Leaper fitted correctly is not a modification. The earlier Jaguars had the Leaper fitted in the factory. Peter.

Hello Kris, Basic answer for this fault warning, but is your battery fully charged? First thing to check. Alan.

Thanks to Steve and Joe, have made a note of those answers. Does the fault not show up connecting to a fault reader ? Alan.

Hello Terre, Thanks for your reply, as I said, everything runs fine with no warning lights. Re-assuring to know my car is not alone with this event. Regards, Alan.

Hello Peter, Thanks for your reply. As I said it's being going on since February, I was content that it was mainly water settlement, but Sheila was unsettled by it. Going to have a look for the bleed valve, when it stops raining. Being a Lancastrian, you'll know about that. Our town is Waterfoot, , quite right too, usually over the 12 inches. Regards, Alan.

Hi Joe, It's the 2.7d 2007. I will have a look at that today. Thanks, Alan.

Since I bought the car in February, it makes two types of noises when stopped and engine off. First is a noise like water settling, gurgles and glugs. (all the fluid levels are correct) Second one is occasional clicks, I'd describe like a hard drive, or CD stop start. Have listened but cannot pin anything down. (This also happen when driving ) The car drives perfectly. There are no warning lights or error messages on the dash and the car has been serviced and also had a ECU warranty repair with nothing mentioned by the mechanics. On all my other cars over the years, the only previous stationary noise was the air-con fan. Anyone else have these noises ? Alan.

Sam, You sound either a Detective, Saint or Doctor. Well done, sit down after and have a cool beer as you apply the plasters to your knuckles. Regards, Alan.

The MoleMan, This is my reply from Jagdroid including their contact websites. Hi thanks for your message. I have two options. First is a Bluetooth upgrade to the CD player as seen here: www.jagdroid.org/jagdroid-cd/ which is £175 GBP including UK return postage. Or for the full Android system I can upgrade a touchscreen and CD player that you send to me here in the UK. For me to do the JagDroid conversion, including all parts and the Odroid N2 Android computer with Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, 16Gb eMMC storage would be £620 plus postage back to you. It will include connections for Front and Rear cameras, which you can install yourself if you want those functions. Please read all the details on my website at www.jagdroid.org to ensure you are familiar with what the system can and can't do, including the installation instructions (http://www.jagdroid.org/installation-odroid-n2/) and optional add-ons (http://www.jagdroid.org/next-steps/). If you go ahead I would do the upgrade and send you an invoice with a link to pay by card online, when it's ready to send back to you.

Hi Joe , Thanks for your answer it seems like a good investment. Re my existing sat nav, it came with no sound, but fiddling around with all possible controls have had some directions, but when I then went to set up a route, just silence. The CD , radio and traffic announcements all work, so hopefully the Jagdroid would then work. Can I say on behalf of myself and probably all the members, a big thanks for all your technical expertise answers you give to everybody. Alan.

Have you had parking cameras done? Would you mind giving me the price involved, as I'm still waiting for their reply.
