  1. WOW ............. a very good looking automobile. Regards
  2. Jason Would I be correct in assuming from your "r32gtst", that you have a Nissan Skyline connection. In my younger days I owned quite a few Nissans. Skyline R33 and R34, SX 200 S12, S13 and S14, Nissan Primera eGT 2.0 Ltr SR20. At 72 years young I still love cars of that era, but find myself wanting more comfort as well as reasonable power. Hence my S-Type 2.5 V6. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  3. I have a 2005 Facelift S-Type and find that even on a 12 month old battery, it is beneficial to use my CTEK 7, for a weekly charge. It keeps the battery drain problems at bay. Best Wishes and Regards , John
  4. Would this be any help? Replace Jaguar XJR, XKR, XJ8 & XK8 Rusted Rear ... https://www.youtube.com › watch
  5. Nick It would seem to me that you are "snookered" unless you buy from a dealer., who will take your current vehicle in P/X. Proof still remains the important matter unless you choose to have the work and any associated parts etc done after purchase, Good luck with your decisions. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  6. I suspect the likely hood of you getting a reply to this is very low, as the original post was 23.04.2018., that being four years ago. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  7. Are there any similarities in keeping the Stag running correctly as compared to the Jaguar? Regards, John
  8. There are some good videos on You Tube explaining how to identify / trace Parasitic electrical losses on the car. Good Luck and Best Wishes , John
  9. Microphone ????????????????????????
  10. Ross Your best bet is a CTEK MS 7 or MS 10. I use one for my S-type (which are renown for battery discharge. I use mine on the car at least once a month for 24 hours and it keeps the battery in A1 condition. They also have a RECON setting which takes care of sulphating and can also be used to start low batteries. Well worth the investment. Are used by many members on this Forum. Best Wishes and Regards John
  11. Nick, Cost is going to depend exactly what you have done and where you have it done. I.E. Jaguar Main Dealer, Independent Jaguar Specialist, Local Garage. My advice would be to ring a number of locations and ask for a quotation. Cheers, John
  12. I thoroughly support "No Evidence then change it". Could be very expensive otherwise. Welcome to the club, Best Wishes , John
  13. Welcome to the club. Photos are very good, thank you. Regards, John
  14. Nick I believe that the decision you have to make is entirely a personal preference / decision. Taking your time to decide is always a double edged sword. You can miss the best you have seen in the interest of finding something better. I personally would not buy a high mileage Jaguar, the likes of what you are quoting of around or approaching 100K miles. I also prefer petrol engines as although they might be a bit heavier on fuel, I do not believe that in the long run a diesel is any cheaper to run in the long run when you take into account servicing costs etc, etc. The fact of cam chain instead of a belt also gives me more comfort. It does though boil down to "each to their own and personal choice." There are members here that will disagree on my point of view / preference and will thoroughly recommend a diesel engine. As I said, "each to their own" Best of luck with finding the right car for you. Regards, John
  15. Mike Sounds like a good move to me. All the best with doing the job. Regards, John
