Hi Peter- (Queen Bess) is running as well as ever. Another twelve months Mot. Rear drive shafts and bearings changed but engine is purring. Just hit 80,000 as work done. Garage were impressed by engine. Taking caravan to Cornwall soon. Great tow car. Have to watch the speed. Ha ha.

Have you got the right bulb. We have just changed ours.Tried to use one from stock box of various car lights. Wouldn't fit properly. The one we took out wasn't right either. Went to Halfords and got specific bulb. It has off-set pins and fitted and worked. If not specific bulb,will light side light instead of brake light. Hope that helps.

Lift bonnet and change in parked position if changing whole blade. There are small dots in screen to line up blades when replacing them.

Hubby (Jag man)thinks this is a transit relay connector that is used to stop battery discharging on transport before sale. Relay is removed at P.D.I.

Having to replace passenger side mirror unit. Clipped another mirror which caused mine to smash. The offending mirror didn't have a Mark on it so no cost from them incurred. Cost of replacing mine is an arm and a leg. In £300s main dealer. Anybody with discounts or reasonable prices.

Yes I did receive my stickers by two but although I paid for t.shirt and cup when becoming a premium member this has never arrived. There is no phone number or address to follow it up. Tried an email address but no response. Any help on this.

door locking problem s type 2000 3.0
Morse Dreaming replied to bonnietiler's topic in Jaguar S-Type Club
Hi, my S type also keeps you locked in. Once moving central locking applies. You should have a button with key on at bottom line of switches on central consul. I'm waiting for my personal Jaguar mechanic( hubby) to give the locks a tweek. They occasionally work when she's in a good mood. -
Alternator replacement advice sought
Morse Dreaming replied to Fartytowels's topic in Jaguar S-Type Club
Disconnect battery first. Two connections. Fead belt.2-3 bolts.etc. Fairly tight space to work in. Message from hubby. The air might be blue. -
My Jag has decided I should stay a bit longer and won't open the door lock. This was intermittent but I now have to use the release on centre consul. Another job on the to-do list.
-
We also have a squeaky steering wheel which hubby feels is the carpet or deadening he has got on his to-do list.

Parked my S type sport on gravelled park area at stables only to find car sank. Recently further gravel had been added. No we didn't do a wheel spin and spray every one. The staff at the stables were not big enough to push the heavy girl. Got the car mats out( not expensive ones).Moved the gravel and pushed mat under wheels. Gradually backed out with ease and free. :D .Cones up to stop further cars being trapped.

Happy Birthday and have a great time. Enjoy the post you send me.Feel like part of the Jaguar Family. -
Hi Martin. Glad you got away and enjoyed the experience. Just have to say thank you for information so we got the towbar. We can now keep on smiling an looking forward to next trip. Keep on purring. We also used cruise control as there is a stretch of spec cameras on A14.
-
Just to say towbar a success. Added high quality diesel for journey. Average fuel consumption while towing caravan 26mpg. Not bad as we have large van. Enjoyed few days in forest. No UFO landings but saw international space station going over. What a site. The Jag went through the whole trip with flying colours. Enjoyed fish n chips from famous Aldeburgh chippie (long queue) and sat on seashore. Roll on next trip.

Hear hear Old Peter. When the rain stops will get polishing and get a gleaming picture.

New cam belt fitted by Jaguar dealers Guy Salmon Coventry. £375 deal. Clean air pipe also changed as split found. JAG now purring again ready to growl on open roads. M45 bit good.
-
Tow bar is now fitted. No problems with electrics. Further bits of Bodywork on the path due to age.The muffler heat shield had corroded at the fixings points.( dissimilar metals). Hubby in shed correcting this and when rain subsides will be remitted. Have booked a few days with caravan in Suffolk this week. Going to forest where UFOs visited.

Have also got my sticker last week now adorning car. Waiting for cup for early morning cuppa and T.shirt. Lets hope it arrives before the Sun disappears.
-
Every day I love my S type a bit more. The seats cuddle you. Who wants to get out. Where can I go next. Hubby works in Jag prototype development and even he smiles when I let him drive.

Giving the car a once over ready for caravan towing. Car will be 10 this year. Check service history and no cam belt change. On internet search Jaguar main dealers have a package for cam belt change £375 all in at present. Booked in for Monday. Oil and filter change 2/7 ago. Under tray missing. Wheels off today to check brakes and discs. All in good Nick. Tow bar fitting Thursday. Thanks Martin. Things lookin good.
