  1. Patrick Welcome to the club/forum. Fuse locations are usually listed in your handbook. If not then plenty of diagrams on the internet showing fuse layout plans. www.jaguar.com is also a very very useful source of information by particular car model. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  2. Gary Jaguar Heritage would probably be able to tell you exactly . Cheers, John
  3. Tim You need to invest in a CTEX MS 7 or MS 10 battery charger/restorer and keep your battery well charged at all times. My S Type goes on charge at least once a week for at least 24 hours. Jaguar are prone to Parasitic Discharge and will cause many faults and problems if not kept on a high charge, Best Wishes and Regards, John
  4. That is probably why it is successful and profitable to be a Jaguar Dealer . Regards, John
  5. NOT really how I would expect a private seller to respond to this statement. Consideration to removing the post should be made. Unless the status can be proved otherwise. Regards, John
  6. I always use and recommend Pirelli. Cheers , John
  7. Charles I bought a MS 7 because it can also be used as a tender to start a flat battery. I believe the MS 10 also has the same ability but is dearer than the MS 10. I also bought an adapter (again from CTEK) to install in the boot of my S-Type so as I do not need to keep connecting the CTEK to the battery. The battery connections are left permanently in place. CTEX have a good video on their own website and all of the products are listed and priced as well. No, you do not need to remove the battery. With the adapter CTEK have available it literally takes two minutes to connect and have the battery on charge. Well worth the investment in my opinion. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  8. I personally believe the water pump and belt should be done, on the basis of assuring that it hopefully does not need doing in the future. "Belt and Braces" maybe, but could also be "First spend is the cheapest spend", or "Better safe than sorry". Best Wishes and Regards, John
  9. Mark Fortunately my problem was/is restricted to Bank 1. Every thing is still working well at the moment, having done some 500 miles now with no re-occurrence. Fingers well and truly crossed. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  10. Have we given up on this challenge ??????????????????????? Cheers, John
  11. Nick Welcome to the club/forum and the potential expense of running Jaguars. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  12. Charles Welcome to the club/forum. As for electrical/battery problems, these are Jaguars and you will soon grasp that they are charge hungry. Parasitic drain is very common and you will need to keep your battery in good condition and well charged. The popular piece of equipment is a CTEK MS 7 0r MS 10, Charger/Re-conditioner. I put my S-Type on a CTEK MS 7 as often as I can and certainly at least once per month. It really does stop a lot of unnecessary yellow light and messages that are only generated because of low battery charge. Well worth the investment and effort to keep battery in good condition and charge. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  13. Thank you. Hopefully now sorted. Took readings from both Lambda Sensors on my diagnostics and the graph views showed a major difference between up and down stream sensors. Swopped the upstream (NEW) sensor for the old removed one and the graph readings came in line. Have since done some 400 miles without any codes showing. Fingers crossed. I will keep the crankcase breather in mind for the future. However, it would seem odd to me that there was a problem on the breather as I would expect that to have an affect on both Engine Banks, not just Bank 1. Many thanks and Regards, John
