This definitely works in S-Types as well. It's included as part of the "Battery reset document" which is available for download from this forum Quote As an S-Type owner, you'll be aware (I guess) of how sensitive the electronics is to low battery voltage. You'll maybe not know though, what you're expected to do after dis-connecting and re-connecting the battery. I've put together a PDF document which takes you through the procedure step by step. Nothing that isn't readily available elsewhere but just gathered together and (in my view) logically ordered into a single reference. It also includes how to get the audio system working when you don't have the security code I've been asked for it so many times that I though I'd make a thread just for access to that document so here it is:- Battery reset.pdf Just realised I should have pressed the Quote, before replying. Sorry about that. Presumably my reply will be the message prior to this one. Regards

Have seen your document and downloaded it ready to read at some stage. Car had a new Varta Battery fitted before I picked it up so I am hoping it will keep going alright for a while Meanwhile I am looking for a best deal on obtaining a CTEK charger and conditioner, as recommended on the website, also considering the AA Solar Panel charger which I am thinking might be of better use to me. I am being told that no connection direct connection to the battery is needed as it all happens through the EBOD port. I do not understand if this is correct and would appreciate any advice on the question. Many thanks indeed. John

Being a new member I have been reading numerous posts. I have recently acquired my 2005 S Type 2.5 V6 and have no idea what the radio code is. I understand I will need this if the battery (which is a brand new Varta) fitted prior to collection, is disconnected for any reason. How can I find the code for my Radio. Many thanks and Regards John

Please could I request based on experience with them. Which CTEK charger is best buy for my 2005 model. Many thanks and Regards John

Good Afternoon To Everyone. Have just registers as new member. Have recently acquired a 2005 Jaguar S Type 2.5 Sport. Platinum Metallic. 61,000 miles from new. I am almost 72 years of age and always been a petrol head. Having owned such cars as Nissan 200SX (S12, S13 and S14). Nissan Skyline GTS. MG Midget, Honda Accord Gtr. In my very early years 18/19 I had both an XK 120 and a Mk 2. Neither of which I cherished in any way at all but bought and sold them at good profits. That was the foolishness of youth and only wish I still owned them. Have recently lost my wife of 50 years and she never liked Jaguars, saying they were to pretentious. She passed away at home within 14 weeks of diagnosis and one of her last conversations was that I should acquire the S Type I had always yearned for. Since acquiring the car I have so far only clocked up 329 miles due to a period of not being too well myself. Have already had to replace Ignition coils (6) and inlet manifold gaskets (done at same time. Now have yellow engine management light detection of showing again . Have done a diagnostic and it shows a detection of different readings on Catalytic Convertors. As the car was newly MOT`d at my request when I bought it and showed no sign of emission problems I will not be doing anything about it until it is needed. Enough about me and problems, I look forward to future conversations with members. Many thanks and Regards to everyone
