Hi You might want to put more info up like what engine it has, reg and any service history and plenty of pictures if your selling, would recomend Ebay as a classified, fixed price and has by far the best auidience of any other platform in the uk cheers Joe

Hi Yes all the S-type were manuafactured in the Uk Just Japan ones had different spec, I dont think they were loaded with as much stuff as uk ones It tells you the build spec when you plug in to Jaguar IDS/SDD cheers Joe

Hi Dont think the Japanese models had, they had quite a bit of stuff missing, like they had no alarm either there were quite a few differences cheers Joe

hi If the doors are locking and deadlocking it should work but I'm sure most japan models dont have deadlocking and the module you bought uses the dead locking pulse to lock the doors I've made a few of these power fold locking modules and have all the instructions, but if your car does not have deadlocks it may not work if your car has deadlocks it should work, the frequency of the remote is irrelavent, as it just uses signals to the door locks to operate the powerfold module, also remotes on all s-type can only be programed with software, Jaguar IDS/SDD, theres no manual procedure to program them. deadlocks is not easy to retrofit cheers joe

Hi The petrol engines on the S-type dont have a timing belt, there timing chain so as long as its still quiet its fine, if its had regular oil changes they last many, many years. cheers Joe

Hi if it one of the original keys you just swap the batteries and it should work, if not the fob needs repairing. if it a new fob your trying to program, they can only be done with software on S-types, there is no manual was of programing them, far cheaper to get them repaired than to replace, usually around £25 to get them repaired cheers Joe

Hi You can operate it manually with some jumper wires just to release it. would them recomend getting it plugged in to see what the fault it have a look here,

If the nav dvd unit is still plugged in your touch screen will still work, unplug it and the touch screen will stop working, there was a person selling new lasers on ebay, you can still get used nac dvd units as well, getting one of the newer ones off a 2007/2008 car , most of these still work ok. I dont use mine anymore, I upgraded to Jagdroid and still use my ACM most to play MP3's, which is my favorite source of music cheers Joe

Hi You can get a new navigation DVD off ebay, last ones were 2012, not sure about your country but if you google it there should be plenty of places that sell them Also if you have the touch screen, which is usually standard with the navigation, you cannot remove the Nav DVD unit in the boot, because the picture for the touch screen is generated by the Nav dvd unit in the boot, so removing it will render the touch screen useless, no climate control, no cd changer, no phone. cheers Joe

Hi Its worth having the oil changed in the gearbox first its a ford gearbox on the x-types and quite trouble free its only uses standard ATF in the Ford box, so a oil change is quite cheap if it were anything mechanical it would do it all the time, they dont fix themselves sometimes cheers Joe

Hi That sounds like the master cylinder if you pump the brakes with the engine off, the pedal should come up a bit and go hard, if it goes down slowly then its the seals in the master cylinder, a good master cylinder and servo, should stay high and quite hard, once the engine is started the pedal should drop slightly the diesels had problems with the servo and master cylinder been contaminated with engine oil, theres a non return valve between the servo and engine on the vacuum line that sticks open and lets oil vapour into the servo under boost, eventually the oil destroys the servo and master cylinder. but your sounds like it might just be the master cylinder, servo can be checked once the master cylinder is off, to see if the servo has oil inside it, it should be clean and dry inside. this was a recall for landrovers with the same engine cheers Joe

Hi instructions usually come with the module, generally you have to use special modules/relay unit for these, as the wiring is not conventional, as in the lights usually have permanent 12volts to them and the body modules switch the earths. but as for wiring diagrams look here http://www.jagrepair.com/ cheers Joe

hi what model s-type is it, what engine theres were early production cars, there were a few s-type R's the s-type R's that were prototypes had reg number BP51 KNW, BP51 KNT, BP51 KNR, BP51 KNS, BP51 KNU, BP51 KNV, BP51 KNW, BP51 KNX, these were proto types and still on the road. also most prototypes had no emisions listed, so none were ulez exempt like a S-type R usually is. just early production, none were destroyed. cheers Joe

Thats where the antenna is for the fob above rear light

hi on the s-type the key fobs are connected to the driver door module, maybe similar on the xk8 but just looked and looks like yours is in the boot, security module cheers Joe have a look here for a lot more info and workshop manuals http://www.jagrepair.com/

Hi, Though they both have the same ZF 6HP26, they may have different torque converters and the TCM which is built into the gearbox is coded to the car, so unless its off a identical spec car, it may need coding to the car to getting it working right cheers Joe

Hi service book on my S-type R states 100k or 10 years, so what ever comes first, which has the similar 4.2 engine and same spark plugs cheers Joe

HI There a piece that sticks out, facing the seat, that tou can get your finger under, pulling there unclips the cover cheers Joe

Hi, Code is stored in the CD player in the dash it may of been replaced, could be why the codes not working there are loads of places on ebay that will give you the code off the CD player serial number also when you remove it, code maybe written on it Cheers Joe

HI sorry for the late reply, have you tried deleteing them first, some of those faults may be quite old then rescan to see what faults are left

hi do you have any fault codes when you plug in if so what are the codes

hi discs sizes can change depending on year by far the best way is to measure your own discs with a tape measue cheers Joe

Hi You need to plug in with Jaguar SDD, that will tell you why the fault is on generic code reader are generally useless unless is a simple engine fault usually a battery fault, some cars have two batteries, the small one is overlooked and usually the problem cheers Joe

Hi If your in the AA just get them out, they should be able onper the door lock usuall involves forcing the glass out a bit and hooking the door look/hand hand with a long wire hook cheers Joe
