  1. Les, Hope this helps you. https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-e10-petrol Best Wishes and Regards, John
  2. Rob I am not 100% certain but I do believe it is only the MXS 7.0 that can be used for this purpose. CTEX refer to it as "Supply", which is a mode you manually select. Good luck and hope you get your battery successfully changed. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  3. Rob Keeping a supply to the car whilst changing the battery saves a mass of messing around. Sometimes referred to as a "Tender". I have my S Type set up with my CTEX MXS 7.0 so as I can keep a supply to the car whilst removing the terminals from the battery. If you do not have, or do not want to invest in buying equipment to do this I feel sure that certain battery suppliers will have a means of doing this whilst they fit a new battery for you. I am guessing but I would suggest the likes of Halfords or similar would have the necessary bit of kit to do this job. It has surely got to be worth a telephone call to them. Good luck with the job . Best Wishes and Regards, John
  4. Used my car for the first time in around five days yesterday. Before we start going down the track of S Types and batteries with low power, my battery is a 95Amp/Hr and is less than 12 months old. It spends regular times connected to my CTEK MXS 7.0, and had been connected for three days before being used yesterday. During the course of yesterdays journey a yellow engine warning light appeared. Stopped and checked the code which was P0420 as above in "Title". Erased and reset and then completed a journey of some 65 miles. No further code regenerated. On 13.11.2021@ 63832 miles new Lambda Sensors (Upstream and Downstream) were fitted along with a new Catalytic Converter. This was done after a lot of investigation Including smoke tests etc etc., and questioning about this code keeping reappearing after being reset. It would reappear after some 18 - 20 miles of use and happened many times. It has to be said that the Catalytic Converter was well and truly killed, as was eventually discovered and was subject of many posts on this Forum before being rectified. The reappearance of this code yesterday was after some 800 miles of the new parts being fitted. If it was as previous experience, the code should have reappeared after some 18 - 20 miles but it did not and has not. Codes checked again this morning and nothing listed. My question is simply, "Can someone explain this freak one off appearance of P0420 yesterday." The car is running perfectly and I am not at all concerned, I would just like to understand what, why, how this has happened. Many thanks for your attention in reading this submission and for any forthcoming explanations etc etc. Best Wishes and Regards, John.
  5. Brian, My S Type has the changer in the boot. It also has two controls under the screen CD and CDC, there is also a slot for a single CD which is the CD button. The changer in the boot is controlled by CDC and an on screen selector for any of the six tracks and any tracks on each disc. Cheers, John
  6. Brian, Sorry but I have nothing further to offer you. I am of the feeling that the equipment (changer ) in the boot is not original and not connected to anything we know. I am assuming rightly or wrongly that the cat is a recent purchase. If that is the case and the CD player has never worked, would it be worth trying to contact the previous owner/seller and asking for information? Regards, John
  7. Brian, Do you have a circular Volume button about the size 2 cms on the controls on the radio. Have you tried pressing this button as on my S Type of the same era this button will turn the CDC on and off as well as control the volume. Cheers, John
