Hi Neil,

David Manners is quite close to where I live and they are very good —  prices not too expensive either.

Jaguar Parts 24/7 are good second hand parts too.

Welcome to the club, Graham.

You will enjoy driving a Jaguar  —  I wanted one in 1964 but I did not get one [£££££ not enough] until 2011. —  x type and then an s type which I have enjoyed for nearly 9 years.

Regards,

Peter.

Hi Malcolm,

What happens on colder days is when the engine starts up a small fume will come out of the heater.  It will only take a minute or so and the heater will be just warming up.

Jim has been quite correct.

Welcome to the Club, Mick.

I have the S Type 2.7 diesel [07], and have owned in for eight and a half years without any real problems.

Battery issues have existed now and then and to avoid them I bought a Ctek charger and put a connection outside the garage where I cam make sure the battery never runs out of its needs. Batteries on the 5 type last about 5 years.

Windscreen issues in the winter can be avoided by a windscreen cover overnight - a plastic or even a cardboard cover can do the job.  It could be that the heater for the windscreen needs an examination — it had been known that a replacement windscreen had not had the heater element.

Good luck for the future.

Regards,

Peter.

Hi Gary,

As I thought the DPF was part of the problem.  Luckily I had thought of the EGR valves as was said by the AA engineer .  I though that the cost would have been about £275, but my mechanic took my car and came up with a different answer which saved the EGR replacement.

His solution was to clean the whole exhaust and he had a mechanic friend who could do the work and de did for £180,  My s type is now as smooth as ever!

Regards, Peter.
