hi what dash is it, pre face lift or face lift is it lcd screens or large touch screen cheers Joe

hi there is no update for Jaguar s-type or x-type, since 2012, 2012 is the last updated disc if your cars a keeper, have a look at Jagdroid, have one in mine and its excellent. https://www.jagdroid.org/ cheers Joe

hi if its pre 2002, left hand side of J-gate goes to 4, its 5 speed box, then its a Ford gearbox and normal ATF is fine in these gearboxes, if its post 2002, left hand side of j-gate goes to 5, its ZF box, 6 speed then lifeguard 6 is needed cheers Joe

hi think all the diesels are belt driven for timing and fuel pump, 2 seperate belts cheers Joe

This post is 4 years old, Ebay is very good, I've had many many bargains over the years, you just need to check the sellers feedback.

hi have a look on sng barratt site all the parts are listed on the site very good supplier, fast and offer alternative after market parts as well https://www.sngbarratt.com/English/#/UK/FindParts/Families cheers Joe

yes unfortunately the hose is buried right under the supercharger depends how handy you are, I did mine over 2 days and replaced anything looking tired and all genuine gaskets i found it quite straight forward, but Ive always done all my own work on cars worth getting some prices if your not hppy doing it yourself cheers Joe

hi no all the work is done from above drain cooling system, remove expansion tank, induction elbow, upper induction pipe to throttle body, both belts need come off, then egr and throttle body with elbow underneath, then supercharger to intercooler inlet pipe, then supercharger workshop manual via jaguar repair http://www.jagrepair.com/ workshop here http://www.jagrepair.com/images/AutoRepairPhotos/CarPDFFiles/SType/S-Type 2002.5-2008-FSM-Workshop.pdf this is the pipe that fails, lower one original one looks about to fail, upper one is new its always the short section that fails, which I have replaced with a silicone hose which is far superior as it has 5 plies of reinforcement and much higher pressure rating. also worth replacing any hoses that look perished, water pump if its still original and also the push fit fitting on the rear elbow, under throttle body, this push always fails after it been disturbed and will cause air leak and lean codes after. also worth replacing the oil in the supercharger while it off all gaskets and seals I used were all genuine parts cheers Joe

hi the other thing that causes this is either putting the wrong bulb type in, or putting it in the wrong orientation(brake light bulbs) the pegs on the bulbs are in a specific place in put in wrong, the short the tabs at the bottom of the bulb out cheers Joe

HI That will be the famous valley pipe, £20 hose, costs anywhere from £500 to £1000 to change due to very labour intensive job. if its leaking down the back of the engine and down the gearbox, it is quite a bit cheaper if you do it your self then costs are not so bad, did mine myself a few year ago if you need any more info just ask cheers Joe

no, there all offline ones, so no vin search you need a dealer gateway to have the searchable version

yes it still works just added it on another pc if you google it, there plenty of forums you can download it with instructions cheers Joe

hi virtually every thing on the S-type works this way, 12v feed one side and the other side goes back to the body module and switches the earth to bring it on cheers Joe

HI usually this is a fuse, theres 2 fuses to each light, so if 1 fuse goes it makes both flash dimly its so easy on these, the bulbs have a permanent feed on one side of the bulb, so when you remove the bulb cluster, if you touch the body, it pops a fuse every time cheers Joe

hi theres loads of new ones on ebay, just buy new and swap it out got be easier cheers Joe https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274976934858?hash=item4005e70bca:g:CrYAAOSw2xRYUofG https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171324319654?hash=item27e3b9a7a6:g:coYAAMXQnFhTlc5Y

Hi, The XF has same suspension a S-type, theres no easy way to get much lift on the suspension best case with something like stiffer springs or adding spring assistors you only going raise it just over an inch, only other option is air suspension, which is not going be cheap, would be custom on a xf think better off trading in for something allready higher. cheers Joe

Hi you may want to check the history of this car, as just found this on another forum apparently that was 3.0 awd back in 2007, now its a 2.5? , also says its a 2003 model, old picture you have there from 2007 when it was listed on pistonheads

hi you will only get what people will want to pay for it it all depends on condition, as you may know the sills on these can completely rot away you will get more for a good solid one with history, the arden bits were just bolt on parts, so wont make it worth a lot more, as its not a official jaguar model. also there really classed as modified, so dont appeal to every one, also can effect insurance as its been modifed which can open another can or worms, if they ask for more details cheers Joe

hi the P1000 is normal once codes are reset, need to be driven to clear EML can some times just be a fluke, especially if battery low, keep a check on oil level, if it been ok since usually ok, just over filled, but on a diesel can be first signs of leaky injectors or blocked dpf. cheers Joe

Hi, pics may help, whats a Arden conversion, stickers, wheels, badges, any engine mods, any paperwork. cheers Joe

hi Icarsoft lrv3 is the one to have for jaguar has the most comprehensive functions and easy to use or if you want one that does all cars and unlimited updates then icarsoft crpro jaguar ids/sdd is the best, but it not user friendly and need a dedicated laptop cheers Joe

hi a good place to start looking is throttle body, if it was air leaks at that revs you would get engine fault lights on sure there all fly by wire so no throttle cable, but checking the throttle body will confirm and checking the throttle body flap should be virtually shut with engine off might just want cleaning, as they can get quite gummed up with age, so might just be dirt stopping the throttle body from shutting cheers Joe

hi a lot of it will depend what mileage your doing, if your only doing short runs, then it a petrol unless you want lots of issues with a diesel, with dpf problems and diesel engine problems, they really dont like short runs, as they need a regular long run to clear the dpf and keep the battery charged. also dont forget to check sills as they can colpletely rot away as there hidden by plastic covers, also check rear sub frame. cheers Joe

hi if run in the right conditions they should out last the car but there not allway run at the right temp so can block up, theres companies out there that specialise in cleaning them, but only short term fix if cars not run right or has issues cheers Joe

hi think very early cars were fitted with 300mm discs and later cars were upsized to 320mm, apart from R mosels which were 365mm, later R models were dropped to 355mm would assume in cost cutting as they dropped the racing brembo's there was sport model options, but you can only tell for sure by the color codes on the springs not sure if discs sizes are on jaguar ids/sdd but think suspension might be if you pm me full vin i can check and pm you the info i find cheers Joe
