Hi Imp, Welcome to Jaguar Owners CLub. Your XE sounds a real head turner. Glad your happy with it. Is there a problem with Sat Nav? If so post it in the forum for XE owners, I am sure they will be pleased to help. Kind Regards, Julie.

Hi Rod, If you can't get one here try Facebook jaguar X type owners club they usually know of cars for sale. Kind Regards, Julie

Wow there was a bit of rust, like what you have done so far, looking good. Anyone who takes the time to restore an old beauty like this has my admiration.

Magic Creeper I like this, I imagine you have all seen this before. So handy, better than bits of cardboard Has any one used one?

I have sent request, not sure how long it will take. Regards, Julie.

Ok I will ask if IT can look at it. Rgds, Julie.

Good Morning Billy, Welcome to Jaguar Owners. Glad you have the car you have always wanted🙂 Hope your restoration Goes well, it's great that you are working keeping the XJ on the road. I do love the older cars. Kind Regards, Julie.

Hi I have just signed in and out and it seems to be working?

Hi John found F32? as well check out video. As far as I know - I am not an expert- To use the cigarette lighter in any car even older cars you have had to turn the key to the accessory position for it to be able to work. They have never had constant power to them even when turned off because doing so causes unnecessary drain on the battery when accessories are not being used Would only be on if hardwired to battery If not fuse / relay assume it would be wiring fault? or unit itself? Best Regards, Julie.

Hi I believe the one in dash is lighter one in console between seats is Aux 12v socket.- might be a fuse that's why its not working. Best Regards, Julie

Cheers Joe Good Advice Thanks Your car is looking good too, a credit to you. I will make sure, as you have mentioned to me before, to get it serviced regularly, I intend to keep the car as long as I can. Like those little moving pics you have on your posts😊

I have been looking for couple of months found my new S type It's silver Cream interior leather Seats 41k I like the older cars just a personal preference, I am a bit techno phobic in some ways. I do not use a Sat Nav, used maps for years they work for me. I like cars to be as simple as possible not too many gadgets and electrical Gizmos.

Hi Bill, Welcome to Jaguar Owners. Great to hear you finally have your beautiful XF. Never drove the XF but looks gorgeous🙂

Hi, John, I have not tried it myself but several people have told me tooth paste with baking soda works a treat. I have used this to remove paint from my fiat when some one scrapped along the side of my car in Tesco`s and it worked Popular mechanics had an article in June https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-to/a10346/how-to-make-your-headlights-shine-like-new-16649941/ Amazon have a range of products Top seems to be Turtle Wax/ 3m. Sorry I don't know name of American cleaner.

No problem at all glad I could help.

Hi John, found the AA video

Hello Clive, That's a shame have you had a quote for the work?

H John, have found these posts on the S type from may be helpful, My friend pad about £20 for code from dealer. This definitely works in S-Types as well. It's included as part of the "Battery reset document" which is available for download from this forum Quote As an S-Type owner, you'll be aware (I guess) of how sensitive the electronics is to low battery voltage. You'll maybe not know though, what you're expected to do after dis-connecting and re-connecting the battery. I've put together a PDF document which takes you through the procedure step by step. Nothing that isn't readily available elsewhere but just gathered together and (in my view) logically ordered into a single reference. It also includes how to get the audio system working when you don't have the security code I've been asked for it so many times that I though I'd make a thread just for access to that document so here it is:- Battery reset.pdf
