Hi Robert --Welcome to the club and I'm sure you will get plenty of advice -- I would say you have a fuel problem and think the 1st thing is to renew filter etc Frank

I Gary welcome to the club and I hope you enjoy your Jaguar as we all do . Before buying I would recommend that you run a MOT check it only takes a minute or two and tells you a lot about it.??? https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/?_ga=1.167145726.1398065124.1463749831 Frank

Hi John ---To re-cap --You said that-----"I have noticed today that the brake lights are on permanently, and if i hook my foot under the brake pedal and pull it up, not only do the brake lights go out but the brakes release", Then again you said----The pedal is very hard to pull up and it only comes up a couple of millimeters, it is also very hard to push down, feels almost solid, all 4 brakes are sticking on until i pull the pedal up, then the brake lights go out and the brakes come off, Well I still think its the pedal that's the Problem when you fitted the new master cyl did the pedal move free and easy on its full travel.??? Saying all that the other thing is is there any free movement when you apply the pedal before the brakes work it dos'nt sound as though there is --if you disconnect the rod thats from pedal to master cyl are the brakes on or off??? Just trying to help. Frank

Hi Laurynas A big welcome to the club you will find us all very friendly and we all love our Jaguar's so please enjoy. Frank

Hi-I totally agree with Joe you must use the correct oil as stated they are not chosen at random the oil is made up of all the correct ingredients for that box etc as they say for its lifetime and to make it do everything smoothly ---any cheap oil works but just cannot do the same . Frank

Sorry about the link I didnt know if it worked I have never used it . I like the colour of your S Type it really looks good and the leaper and the grill really makes it look great and finishes it of perfectly. Frank

Hi Russ have you tried a reset -I know this is for the X Type but surely its about the same.??? Frank keyfob.jpg Programming or pairing a new remote Key fob for the X Type is a very simple job that will cost a substantial amount if it is done by Jaguar. It's annoying but this may need to be done if your Key fob battery has been allowed to go flat, or the car battery has been removed for any length of time. Follow these steps exactly and you should have no problems, pairing old or replacement Key fobs for your car. 1.)I would recommended that you ensure all key fobs are fitted with new batteries. ( Click here to see battery replacement guide). 2.)Get in the car and close the drivers side door. 3.)Put the key into the ignition and turn to position I. 4.)Wait 5 seconds 5.)Turn the key quickly to position II then back to I four times. (do this only once) 6.)You should hear a single chime. 7.)Remove the Key 8.)For each Key fob in rapid succession. Press any single button on the key fob you wish to pair, you should hear a chime as each Key fob is paired with the security system. After the chime press a button on the next Key fob you wish to pair. 9.)On compleation after all keys have been programed, wait 3 minutes then check the operation of each Key fob by locking/unlocking the vehicle. Important Note :-All the fobs that you wish to use Must be paired at the same time. Every time you operate the key as in step 5 above the code will be changed, previously programmed fobs will no longer work unless you pair them all at the same time.

Hi John --I still say check that its not the pedal its self where it swivels then if not change the master cylinder ??? Frank

Hi John --Is the pedal hard to pull up or easy and does it drop down again or stay up .??? Because if its stiff I would say a drop of WD40 is the answer fist to see if its just the pedal thats tight.??? Frank

Hi Paul Welcome to the club its nice hearing from you It would be nice if you could show us a few shots and please join in we are a friendly bunch . I think a wheel bearing could have a fault on any car after 8 yrs I think it just one of those things .??? And its good your getting it done before you purchase.The mileage sounds OK but before you buy have a good look under her and run a check on the past -MOT's that tells you a lot about the history of the car.??? You just need the Reg . https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/?_ga=1.167145726.1398065124.1463749831 Frank

Hi jason --I'm in full agreement with Steve on this you must have a good battery, cheap ones just do not do the job ??? I had one on my cat when I had it first and was adviced by someone in the club to get the correct size and the Iv'e had no more problems . Frank

Hi Mike I'm At Rushden Small world isn't it --Ha Ha

Looks like a really good job done -I bet your pleased with it.??? Frank

Welcome to the club Mike You have a realy beautiful looking cat there in a very majestic colour more shots please.?? Frank

Hi Matthew I'm sorry I miss understood and now I realize you said the oil was sitting around the plug in its recess so it could be a leak as you said.?? But if I was you I would first --Fit a new set of plugs as one of the could be breaking down and causing a miss fire under pressure.??? Best of luck Frank

Hi Matthew ---I think that the oil or wetness shows that-- that cylinder isn't firing and I think you should replace the spark plug and make sure you have a spark there.??? Frank
