+1 for the CTEK chargers, a must if your cars not in daily use keeps the battery tip top, got a Jaguar on my S-type R and never had any warning lights in over 6 years, well recommended cheers Joe

hi its hit and miss, unfortunately, some people get problems, some don't I've had my S-type R for 6 years and never had any problems what so ever, though its well looked after the electric park brake works really well, you just apply it and pull off when required and it releases itself these cars are getting old now so lack of maintenance can be a issue but try it at least a dozen times, big problem can be a low battery that can cause issues, also damp in the boot can make the park brake module fail cheers Joe

hi I would look a used parts and take it to a independent garage try some where like auto reserve jaguar, very good used parts would be a lot cheaper and just as good using good used genuine jaguar parts cheers Joe

hi this is the only other thing i can find out of the workshop manual pic below, workshop manual here https://www.dropbox.com/s/ee2nxkx6fgqmb25/workshop_manual.zip?dl=1 cheers Joe

hi Might want to mention what size they are, as they are many different size discs on S-types cheers Joe

hi might help tell us what engine you have but have a look on jaguar classics and also look on ebay once you have the part number https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/parts/index/part/id/C03.910.91012.91012218.910122183984/brand/jaguar/ cheers Joe

hi have a look at this company, just contact them https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133779442877?hash=item1f25e04cbd:g:PnMAAOSwNINgaIqy they do lots of jaguars cheers Joe

hi if you look on ebay theres a company that sell new headliners made from grp, rather that cardboard and dont suffer with damp they do all colors as well cheers Joe

hi park brake fault usually occurs when the battery is low, low battery effect all modules on the car, if battery voltage drops too low, the modules go into fault make sure the battery is also fully charged, left on charge over night you get fault if either, the calipers hand brake arms have gone stiff, handbrake cables have gone stiff or epb motor has gone tight, ideally you need to get it plugged into to Jaguar ids/sdd which will tell you what the exact fault is you can quickly reset the epb module by unplugging the epb module in the boot for about a minute, when you plug it back in and switch the ignition on you should get the calibration message you can also drive the epb motor manually with 12 volts to make sure it works and sound ok and may also free it off, have a look at this video on how to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xebdRYwtjE&t=3s also if your boot gets lots of damp, as some suffer with water ingress, it may have a faulty epb module cheers Joe

hi put a new battery on it and make sure its been fully charged, ideally left on charge over night if the jump leads are not big enough, they need to be left connected for for 10 minutes or so to bring the battery up jump starting a car should not effect anything, unless they were connected with wrong polarity in which would have blown some of the electronics worth also checking all the mega fuses in the boot cheers Joe

hi you can get genuine ones off ebay for £15 well worth changing as these often get over looked cheers Joe

hi I still only pay £190 for my 2004 STR, with agreed value and any mods declared, still with footman james with discount from been a JDC member superb cover and policy, document posted, uk english speaking staff cheers Joe

hi not too sure on the x-type interior light but if its the same as the s-type, theres a screw under the glasses flip down pocket,then the light clips off you have to pull, each side theres about 3 clips each side cheers Joe

hi it was made at castle bromwich its digit 11 that relates to where it was made G = castle bromwich 4.0 have a look at the pic below cheers Joe

hi if your on about engine cooling fans its controlled via a cooling fan module also most stuff on the s-type has a permanent feed to them and then the earth is switch via the module, so if there a fault on that wire it will run all the time, because of the permanent feed check the wiring to the fan for damage, connectors for corrosion or trapped wire to earth, may be the module aswell if you need any manuals or wiring diagrams there all here http://www.jagrepair.com/ cheers Joe

hi if your saying the heater only blows hot, even if set to cold, its a common problem on s-types its either the DCCV in the engine bay, dual coolant control valve or climate module or both when the dccv fails it sticks either open or shut, but if they get water in the plug, which usually corrodes due to water, it blows the pcb tracks in the climate module the module can be easy repair, when removed and opened you will see blown copper tracks, they need soldering also if you buy a new dccv, cheap ones dont last long at all, better off with a bosch one cheers Joe

hi door module is in the door but its usually the drivers door lock, there switches inside it that tell it when its locked, if these dont make the doors unlock again cheers Joe

HI its electric, operates a solenoid which unlocks the flap theres also a emergency pull cable, in the boot , r/h side top area cheers Joe

hi the heater fan is controlled by the climate module if you turn the fan speed down and its not controlling, only thing it can be really is the climate module have you open the climate module up, they renown for blowing tracks on the board and usualy fix well only other way is to get it pluged in and see what software says and you can operate everthing manually cheers Joe
