You are welcome. The S-Type can be challenging, especially in respect of suffering when battery charge gets low. You can end up with numerous rogue messages/codes etc. Best answer is to invest in a CTEX MS 7 or 10 battery charger / re-conditioner and use it on the car at least (if not more) than once per month for at least 24 hours. They will adequately control Parasitic Drain which Jaguars and in particular S-Type seems prone to. I use one regularly and it appears to keep my S-Type under control. There are many users of the CTEK on this forum who would thoroughly recommend them. Best Wishes and Regards, John

A lot of battery problems associated with Jaguar and particularly S-Types can be overcome with the use of a CTEK MS 7 or 10 charger / re-conditioner. Used at least once a month (or more if possible) for at least 24 hours they drastically reduce low battery problems (Parasitic Drain) Many members on this forum use them and swear by them. I use one with my S-Type and have as good as done away with regular unwanted/unneeded warnings/codes etc etc. They are well worth the investment, even if you have a new battery, as it keeps it on top form. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Dennis This forum is full of references to low battery (Parasitic Drain) in respect of causing irregular readings and codes on Jaguars. The advice, as always, is invest in a CTEK MS 7 or MS 10 charger / re-conditioner . Use it at least once a month for at least 24 hours and (even with a new battery) you will probably experience less numbers of annoying codes / warnings etc, due to battery discharge. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Bernie Many posts on this forum regarding Parasitic Drain. S-Types are probably even more affected that other Jaguars (which are affected). Low battery will often lead to this type of annoying messages/codes. Usual advice applies .......... invest in a CTEK MS 7 or MS 10 charger/re-conditioner and use it on your car at least once a month and for minimum of 24 hrs. I, and many other members on this forum, use and thoroughly recommend the CTEK products. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Joe Many thanks. Not certain about this. Will give it some thought. Regards, John

Joe Many thanks. Looks like I am going to have to put up with what I have currently got. Could maybe advisable to invest in a separate SatNav. Many thanks and Regards, John

Not being particularly computer / phone tech minded, is there any way that Google Maps on my Smartphone can be played through / to the screen on my S-Type ? Many thanks and Regards, John

https://www.latestsatnav.co.uk/latest-2012-sat-nav-disc-update-for-jaguar-xj-s-type-x-type-navigation-dvd-58-p.asp Has anyone purchased this update disc and can offer any knowledge of its status in use. Have never update a disc before, is it just a case of removing the original and putting the new updated disc in its place. Many thanks and Regards, John

Gary Welcome to driving a Jaguar !!!!!!!!!!!! Best Wishes and Regards, John

S-Types are renown for Parasitic Drain. You need to acquire a CTEK MS 7 charger/restorer and use it regularly. I put mine on at least once per month and for a minimum of 24 hours. Stops a lot of frustrating warnings and codes. Many people on this forum use and recommend the CTEK product. Best Wishes and Regards, John

What is it. The link does not go anywhere. Regards, John

Dave Had similar problem with my S-Type. Changed bulbs to RING Xenon 200. Also checked the height that the lights were set at and found they could be increased higher slightly without causing dazzle problems. The bulbs are readily available from the likes of Ebay etc. and are legal compliant. No problem with dazzle , people flashing at you, or seeing well myself when dark. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Get it back to the dealer and politely make your case and be firm about what you want doing about it. Do not forget, having bought from a dealer you have certain consumer rights. Best Wishes, Good Luck and Regards, John

Good luck with Jaguar. Keep pushing them and do not accept anything less than what you feel is correct. Best Wishes and Regards, John

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
