I regularly get the MIL on in my car and it's always P0137 and P0157. I've changed the sensors, checked the wiring etc but still the same fault indications come back. No perceptible effect on the car's performance though. At first I thought it was just when running on gas but sometimes happens on petrol as well. Just can't solve it.

Yes :L)

Hi John, No specific 12 socket. Anyone of those on ebay will suffice. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Motorbike-Boat-12V-120W-Waterproof-Power-Car-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Plug/263726394767?epid=1553687721&hash=item3d67516d8f:g:P6kAAOSwN2VbD43e for example.

SO pleased I have them. I was reversing out of my drive this morning at 06:30. As you can imagine it was fairly dark. Well, I reverse VERY slowly out of my drive because my house is on the apex of a bend and I have 1 metre high walls around the garden. Anyway, I spotted a woman about level with our front gate, that is to say some 20 metres away from the drive entrance and as I always do I stopped to let her pass, pedestrians were here before Jaguar owners after all. Anyway, she didn't attempt to move and just sort of smiled at me. I waited another few seconds but she made no attempt to go past the drive so I put the car back into reverse and as soon as I did so the rear parking sensors started kicking off, although I could see nothing there in my mirrors and the woman was still 20 metres away I moved no more than a few inches and, having the driver's window open, I heard a faint whimpering sound so I had to stop, get out, being no easy task as my legs aren't the best, and see what the problem was. The stupid cow had no less than FIVE small dogs on retractable leads and all five were right behind the car's rear bumper, she, as I have said was some 20 metres away. If I hadn't had rear parking sensors I would have committed multiple "canicide" because there was no way anybody could have been aware of them from within the car. So, she had stood there, smiling away, for over a minute, with her five dogs in imminent danger of death and she was surprised when I reacted angrily.

Try swapping the coil packs around and see if the faults change cylinders or not. That will tell you coil packs or plugs.

Either will do the job. All you need is a small current for a fraction of a second while you press the button. However, I would rather use a battery charger because the power from a set of jump leads can be dangerous.

The manual key-hole is on the extreme left underneath the plinth.

I'll say. I have one of those Bluetooth battery state monitors fitted to my S-Type that signals to an app on my phone and every morning the battery is down to approximately 90%

What do people recommend as an air freshener for our cars please? I've tried the can type and the vent type but never seem to detect any scent. I won't hang anything from the rear view mirror though. Any recommendations?

Can you provide more detail please?

No, but I can let you know if you decide to go that way.

The other module is the phone module Peter. Pleased you solved it 🙂 Perhaps now you will fit the premium sound system 😉

In which case that blank D2B connector needs to be terminated Peter. As your shystem was working I can only assume that the terminator must be in the car somewhere. The module behind the panel that you are not sure of is the Voice module.

It's clear you haven't got premium sound Peter. Therefore, if that D2B connector is in circuit it will have been terminated with a loop. If so the loop has possibly fallen off and is floating around in the stack cavity somewhere. It will look like a loop of fibre optic cable inserted in a connector. If not, have you had the Kaiser panel out? That's the silver coloured panel in the background of your first photo. There are D2B connections on the back of it.

I've collected all this sort of stuff HERE.

Can you upload photos please Peter?

It will. D2B doesn't afect Bluetooth. Click HERE and then click through to "My Jaguar stuff to find the maintenance and electrical manuals for your car.

Disconnect each D2B module one at a time and substitute a loop terminator. This will eliminate each module in turn. If not a module then a fibre optic cable break.

It could be anywhere in the D2B network. Any break will cause total failure, which is what you have. I'd start behind the stack in the boot (trim panel out and unbolt the stack from the boot floor) or if not then the back of the touchscreen.

Thank you very much 🙂

How did you do it?

No longer available

Fluid level at best. Torque converter at worst, I'd say.

No. The transmission has to be at a given temperature before the change is started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI7XZHiBfaA
