  1. Trevor, Oh so very true. Regards, John
  2. Mick Nothing surprises me these days. I am 72 years of age and have realised that the days on communication/customer service/decency and honesty have long gone. As long as an order has been signed and a deposit made, that is all they are interested in. Admittedly not everywhere is the same story found, but I see it as an ever increasing number. Hope you get thinga sorted prompttly. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  3. Trevor Everyone I have contacted has for sale some "Heat Resistant Tape". However nobody is prepared to quote an upper limit of degrees to which tape can with stand the enclosed environment of an engine bay. My son in law has today solved the problem. He is a=the Sales Manager at a main agent and their technicians have a silicone gel that they recommend and use for this exact job. My S-Type is with them this week having new sills fitted and they are going to do the under bonnet job with the insulation whilst the car is with them. Family connections often prove to be the most productive, and economic as well. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  4. Brian I find that interesting, being from the "Dinosaur Age" and never having been involved with optic technology in vehicles. Having thought about it I can well understand the logic of what you say, in as much as if you have a break/gap in the optical process/route then it plainly will not work. Many thanks for causing the little grey matter to give it some thought. Regards, John
  5. Robert Good photos of very nice cars. I too will for the time being have to just use my S-Type Best Wishes and Regards, John
  6. Kevin, You will find it useful. If you put the codes you find on this Forum someone will have some advice/knowledge to offer you. Best Wishes, John
  7. Delia That looks a nice car. Could I suggest that you put a few more details on the listing to aid the potential selling of the car. E.G. Engine Size: 2.5, 3.0, 4.0 etc. Fuel: Petrol or Diesel, Service History: when/what/where and whether there is supporting documents to prove. Best Wishes with your selling. Regards, John
  8. Kevin With Diagnostic Units it is a case of you get what you pay for. A cheaper one will diagnose most engine faults/codes, but for other systems you usually need a slightly higher priced unit. I have two, a Foseal cheaper model with is around £20.00 and copes very well with engine needs. Then I have a iCarsoft CR PRO , which covers all makes of car and which is very good for all systems and is around £225. There are cheaper models that have the software but are specific to car make. I.E. Jaguar. To my mind a diagnostic unit is an essential part of owning and successfully being able to run a Jaguar. That is of course my opinion, which others would be very entitled to disagree with. Good Luck with sorting your car. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  9. Steven An update on this would be interesting. Regards, John
  10. Kevin You do not quote where/what garage is doing these checks that you pay for. Is it a specialist Jaguar Dealer or a Main Agent or just a general garage. As a suggestion have you thought about using an independent Jaguar specialist. I would be very inclined not to pay for work being done if it were not done to my satisfaction and requirement. Do you have a diagnostic unit of your own. If you have list any codes that are showing up and someone on this Forum will sure to be able to give some suggestions for you in respect of identifying your problem/s. Hope you do get it sorted. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  11. Justin Good item to submit. I will file this in the brain just in case it should be needed. Thank You. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  12. Still not managed to find anything as yet. Anyone ????????? Regards, John
  13. Jason Does this link help. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xf-xfr-x250-44/proper-xf-launch-control-7037/ Regards, John
  14. Ryan Good luck with your selling. Best Wishes , John
  15. Julie Yes, so do I , because as of now I cannot find any suitable tape on the rest of the internet. Obviously though there just has to be something suitable somewhere. Finding it seems to be a problem, which is why I appealed to the membership in the hope that someone new a product that was suitable and safe. Best Wishes, John
