Wrinkly

Changed mine about three months ago. Yes they are fiddly but it can be done if you go steady. I padded the bonnet edge with a microfibre cloth just in case there was ant contact with the paintwork accidentally . Best Wishes and Regards, John

Hi Joe Yes I have checked on "How many left" No result. Model: 2005/2006 ( FaceLift ) Jaguar Sport 2.5 V6 Jaguar Heritage have confirmed that there were 430 of the model manufactured. Cheers, John

Have discovered via Jaguar Heritage the number of an actual Model Year (MY), that were actually produced by Jaguar to a certain specification/model. Would like to find out how many of the MY are still registered and in existence. Has anyone any idea if and how this is obtainable via DVLC. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Best Wishes and Regards, John

At my age (72) I have always been used to being able to speak to a customer service department if I had problems with a product. However I have come to realise that no manufacturer or retailer actually wants to help a consumer/customer these days. They do everything they can to re-direct you around the internet (its called "progress" so I am told ????????????) in the hope that they can frustrate you enough to the point that you give up. I have also tried to find addresses so as to be able to write, (a dying form of communication) to ask questions or even complain. That is very often a futile exercise as well. I did some while back have major problems with one of the biggest household banking names over them insisting that "Debit Cards" could only be used if you were a Smartphone user. You had apparently to receive an authorisation number via a Smartphone, as there was no other method of technology working in this case. Not being acceptable to me I decided to take the bank on over the matter. Many many phone calls and periods of waiting in phone queues, writing letters etc I ended up in touch with the financial ombudsman department. Surprise, surprise, they eventually decided that the technology attitude of the bank in question (and other banks) was not acceptable in the case of customers who did not have and did not want to use Smartphones. They instructed the bank in question that they must resolve the situation in my and other customers favour. The banks answer to the situation was to offer to pay for a Smartphone for me. I did not accept this approach and it went back to Financial Ombudsman. In an attempt to shorten this story. After many months of complaining once per week by letter. SURPRISE ..... the bank found an alternative method of issuing "Authority Numbers". They issued a form of technology that they had used for years to gain access to their (my) Current Accounts On Line. The old fashioned New Technology of "Key Cards" that they had been using for Current Accounts On Line, but a slightly larger and thicker version of it. It works well and by the way the bank in question compensated me for my problem and time in complaining. They paid into my current account a (no fault admitted) gift to the sum of £80. I consider that a success for the non technologically educated oldie that I am. Thanks for reading and my "Rant" is now finished. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Stephen Welcome to the club/forum. Also welcome to being a Jaguar owner and Jaguar policy. Best Wishes , John

Consider possibility of Parasitic Discharge which often causes false readings, codes, messages etc etc . Jaguar electrics are often prone to this action. Regular use of a CTEK charger/re-conditioner, as used by many on this forum including myself, often cures the problem. Best Wishes and Regards, John

It is possible that a hard reset by disconnecting the battery may in fact produce some other codes and warnings. S-Types are even more particular than other Jaguar models for suffering from Parasitic Discharge. There is a Re-Set procedure set out for the S-Type after Battery disconnection. It is at the beginning of S-Type Section. Best Wishes and Good Luck. Regards, John

James There are videos on YouTube on this subject. How affective they I do not know but may be of some help. Have put a sample link below, there are others. Best Wishes , John

Unfortunately I have no photos back as far as yours go. I only have from the days of Nissan Skylines, 200SX and Primera eGT that I once owned . Best Wishes, John

Mario That is not exactly extravagant to my mind. It does depend on make and specification of tyre and discs you had fitted. Regards, John

Sounds like a rather extravagant amount of money for exhaust clamps, are they Gold Plated ?????? Regards, John

Mike When young (am now 72) and a real "Jack the lad" at 18 I bought two jags. A XK120 convertible which was an absolute rust bucket but it did run and drive. Sold it in three days and made a great profit of £250 . Also bought a Mk 1 which was in fairly good order. It was a metallic dark blue with cream leather interior. Kept for about two weeks and sold it making £450 profit. My mother (bless her) was not at all pleased and "suggested" (being polite) that I bought no further junk and brought it home. I wish I still had them two cars now, but suspect that they have gone to their resting place.

Jim Welcome to the club/forum. My goodness you certainly had your share of XJ6s. Fifty One cars in sixteen years could possibly be classed as an obsession to Jaguars. Good luck with your S-Type and keep the battery regularly and well charged, to avoid electrical and numerous warnings cropping up. I use a CTEK MS 7 with my S-Type and have it on charge at least once a week for at least 24 hours. I learnt by experience that it was the safest way of avoiding many false and misleading readings and warnings. Best Wishes and Regards, John
