Hi guys. Finally sorted the issue. It’s a combination of a faulty starter and an original 5 year old battery that isn’t holding charge. Into the garage asap for work and then hopefully issue sorted.

thanks for the help and advise. Missed owning a jag and now I’ve returned to them hope this is the only silly issue!

Even with a new battery the use of a CTEK MS 7 charger/re-condition can save you a lot of problems in the future. I swear by mine, as do many others on this forum.

Try your front anti roll bar bushes, I had the same problem on my old S type.

 

also, don't use WD40 as it'll atack the rubber, best use a silicone spray. 

There is a WD 40 Silicone spray available.

Hi guys. I’m sure you have done this topic before but couldn’t find it. I have just returned to jag ownership with an xe r sport 2.0 diesel. This morning in the freezing cold I went to start it and ….nothing!

The battery is good…no warning lights …just no start!.

You guys are so good with ideas on issues. Please could someone advise me on possible issues?

Thanks in anticipation

Is the battery good as you say. S-Types are notorious with battery drain, with the very cold weather added into the equation it could in fact be that the battery is not good.

Still at dealer doing "drive cycle" to complete reset of computer

As Joe has posted. P1000 is a manufacturer installed Code that will, once all codes corrected, disappear on driving the vehicle.

Hi, my XF wouldn’t start this morning. Have recently noticed an orange message “Park break fault” but this has only appeared occasionally in the past few weeks. Then this morning the car didn’t start and had the message “gearbox fault” I tried to start it a few times, the break is now really stiff and car won’t start at all. Has anyone else had this happen? A Google search this morning mentions battery problems but it feels like it’s not going to be as simple as this.

Jaguars are battery thirsty (especially I find my S-Type was).

I cured the problem by investing in a CTEK MS 7 Battery Charger / Re-conditioner . Use mine at least once per month and for at least 24 hours at a time. Marvellous machine which I use successfully Summer and Winter. Many people on this Forum find it a worthwhile investment for keeping a good battery in excellent condition.

How would I fine out if mine is a real sport 200.

Barry you could consult Jaguar Heritage who would confirm your full specification, by the Vin No: you give them. Another few ways of knowing the Sport Model (which I have ) is you will have two tone leather interior, you will have a different coloured grill insert, the will be no wood veneer inside the car.

Many have over the years, purchased and been very staisfied with the,performance of Aldi’s “own brand” trickle charger. Seems very durable and reliable and compares very favourably with the CTEK market leader. Noted this week in m6 store at £12.99

I feel we must be certain that like for like must be taken into account when considering cost of any item.

Because I suffer with this cold weather I got the job done by the mechanic we have used for some 35 years. the back pads were like new front pads just starting to wear the sensor so just changed the front discs. £130 parts and labour. Great value I think

James

I feel one must know what make of discs and pads are used before serious comment can be made on value for money. £130 for pads, discs and fitting certainly sound very cheap to me.
