  1. If it’s the same as mine, have a look on the roof panel for a switch with a “P” on it. If you are just going forward then press that to activate the front sensors. If you select reverse first then both sets of sensors should become active, the switch “P” can then switch off the front sensors only if not required.
  2. The latest Jaguar official disc is 2012 though there are websites where you can get up to date discs.
  3. If you can David, get yourself a CTEK battery maintainer and keep the car hooked up when not in use. This will aid in keeping the battery at its best and negate the low battery warnings. As for the service, I would bring it forward which is exactly what I did this year.
  4. Certainly a good place to start Gary.😊
  5. Check the ground points around the engine bay making sure they are clean and tight.
  6. You could try popping in to your local dealer and ask them. I’ve not been able to find any mention of that code either so the dealer would be my next option.
  7. Here you go. http://jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepairPhotos/CarPDFFiles/SType/S-Type 2002.5-2008-FSM-Workshop.pdf wiring diagrams here, http://www.jagrepair.com/JaguarSTypeElectricalOBDIIcodes.htm
  8. A little info for you by the guy who designed it. http://www.jagdroid.org/
  9. Have a look here, https://www.scparts.co.uk/sc_en/british-cars/jaguar/jaguar-xj6-series-i-iii-and-daimler-sovereign-series-i-iii-1968-1987.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-Nuy59-L6wIV6YBQBh3aTgh4EAAYASAAEgJJY_D_BwE and here, https://www.britishparts.co.uk/classic-jaguar-c4707/jaguar-xj-69-92-c98/brakes-c282
  10. Put “Jaguar XK8 brake calliper” into Google, it will bring up a host of options including rebuild kits.🙂
  11. Here you go Andy, have a read of this. https://www.jaguarforum.com/archive/index.php/t-99095.html
  12. Excellent news Michael, the car will thank you for it. Enjoy.😎
  13. You could try Adamesh. https://www.adamesh.co.uk/
  14. If the car has done over 60k miles then a gearbox service is certainly recommended.
  15. Hi Yongi, The two oval covers on the bumper hide the actual washers. The washers for the headlight will operate once every six pushes of the the washer button. The headlights must be switched on for this to happen. Have someone start the car and switch the lights on then push the washer button. If you stand at the front of the car you should see the covers spring out and the washer operate. Hope this helps.
  16. Then why not post something about your car and garner some interest.😊
  17. Hi Jack, which options are you missing and which would you like to have.
  18. If all was ok prior to the change then the battery has to be suspect. Rarely are new batteries supplied fully charged so an overnight charge will give you a known starting point. 🙂
  19. Faulty Air Conditioning Clutch Relay Air Conditioning Clutch Relay harness is open or shorted Air Conditioning Clutch Relay circuit poor electrical connection Worth checking the above first. Figure 06.1 of this electrical manual may help. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepairPhotos/CarPDFFiles/SType/S-Type-Electrical-2006on.pdf
  20. Open the bonnet and remove the cowl around the windscreen. Check and clean both drains and remove all debris.
  21. Figure 09.2 of this manual confirms rear fog lights. http://www.jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepairPhotos/jagxj1996.pdf
  22. Hi Mathew, Remove the cassette from the cd changer ensuring you account for all 6 cd’s. Make sure that all cd’s are sat correctly in their trays and the trays are correctly positioned in the cassette. Now refit the cassette into the cd changer and try again.🙂
  23. With the car running and the battery light on, check the voltage at the battery and see what you get. Sounds like the alternator though.
  24. Have a look in the vehicle settings, accessed through the infotainment screen, to see if the power fold mirrors have been switched off.
  25. The first thing to do is to fully charge the battery overnight and see what happens then. These cars do not like low voltages as strange things can happen because of it.😁
