cheers kieth, i will give that a try.

hi, does anyone know how to get the backs off the folding mirrors, for maintenance, the drivers side one doesn't fold in all the way without helping it with my hand, thanks for any replies

pete, you don't mention giving up s*x?

hi, i would check your battery condition first, i was getting error messages, s type doesn't like a low battery voltage i was told. anyway i didn't realise it but my battery was only showing 11.9 volts when resting. but still starting and driving ok. should be at least 12.5. derek.

hi reg, i changed the battery for a new one about 4 weeks ago, and just this week the dsc not available message has gone away, of it's own accord? i can't understand it, maybe this jag fixes it'self , i will have to call him herbie. after the volkswagon that did the same thing in the 60's. by the way my keyfobs don't work either. never had since i bought the car?.

cheers paul, thanks for the info, and your time. that's all very clear. i will have a go to-morrow,.

thanks for the replies, hi paul no the rocker doesn't work properly in any position, simon can you explain how to take the panel off? i can then check the switch, thanks derek.

hi russ, the extensions i bought were only just long enough to clear the front lower bumper/skirt, it would of been to risky to drive up and down them considering the suspension movement/bounce on entering and exiting them, and they were also very narrow.. you need the angle to be very shallow to get good clearance at the front end, hence the longer trailor ramps i bought, which are ideal for lowered cars, and you can even stop half way up them with solid blocks of wood under one end of them if your just tinckering. better than any ramp or fannying with two axle stands.

hi, can you change the switch for the mirrors etc in the drivers door without removing the whole door panel? mines playing up, folding the mirrors on every press and not adjusting the angle of the mirror either side as it should. thanks for any help.

hi, i bought some used trailor ramps off e bay, and run low cars up them onto good wide standard ramps. i bought ramp extensions first but they were rubbish.

hi, my 03 s type 3.0 auto, has dsc not available in the display, this happens ONLY when i turn the ignition key to the second position and let the instrument lights settle for a couple of seconds and then start the engine, then dsc not available will stay on all the time the car is running.. and yet when i get in and turn the engine on straight away , all is well with no dsc warning when the car is running? what do you guys reckon?

cheers everyone, i might go for a similar battery to yours Peter, mine's 90ah, with 680 amps, that varta has a little more power i reckon, thanks everyone and all the best for christmas derek.

thanks paul, i bought the car in feb this year, the dsc message came on about september intermitantly at first but now stays on all the time, i cleaned the rear sensors and reluctor rings to no avail. when the battery is disconected will any fault codes be cleared, if not can they be left, or should they be cleared, thanks again.

hi, my 03 reg s type 3.0v6 auto, has DSC not available, and occasionaly, park brake fault, i checked the battery condition and only got 11.5 volts resting, charged it yesterday and today only 11.9v. could this be the problem?, i also noticed a date on the battery looks like the original one from new, jaguar stamped, made in germany 04 03.. april 2003. unbelievable? the car has only 50.000 miles with full service history. which battery do you guys reccomend? thanks for replies. derek.
