hi I find Ebay is the best place as it has the widest audience only way is see what other similar models fetch and adjust for mileage, optional extras and service history put plenty of pictures up and all history sell as a classified so not to get hit with fees, also worth putting on marketplace just incase some one local is after one, its free so worth a try cheers Joe

hi what year is it looks like a post 2004 car as it has the aluminium trim, which is quite popular and its also got the round dials on the dash, which would make it post 2004 have you a pic of front and rear, see what shape, model it is cheers Joe

hi at a guess its because the battery voltage is that low you either need to use a smart charger to top it up when not in use or a new battery but with the lockdown at the moment, I'd use a smart charger even with the new battery to protect it ctek smarts charger work really well cheers Joe

hi strange on, what happens when you press the throttle have you plugged in a code reader and checked accelerator position sensor alters when you press the pedal have you tried turning the key to position 2 and pressing the accelerator all the way down, slowly 3 times, before starting it do you have any fault codes cheers Joe

Hi yes uses same floor pan, same suspension mines a 2004, so has all the brembo brakes, which work very well cheers Joe

hi I have the S-type R, which has the same engine mines had Castrol edge pro 5w30 in it from new, was also used by all the Jaguar services Engine in mine is still like new, very quiet, very smooth, uses no oil, can't go wrong with premium castrol oils its not cheap, I look through the year when places have deals, but my tyres or 123 oils are usually the cheapest cheers Joe

hi have a look at sng barratt site will tell you https://www.sngbarratt.com/English/#/UK/FindParts/Families cheers Joe

hi use "VEHICLE SMART" its on android and very good for mot history or you can check on https://cazana.com/uk cheers Joe

hi only way to know for sure is get it plugged into Jaguar IDS/SDD, which will tell you the fault if theres a fault it defaults to hard setting, if its got cats suspension, usually green shocks if you disconected a shocker with ignition on usually gives a fault, but not sure if on your model they self reset or not only way to know is get it plugged in cheers Joe

HI FOR £500 i WOULD NOT EXPECT MUCH Would definitely check the sills for rot as there can completely rot away, there hidden with plastic covers service history and make sure every thing works for that price, if its got 12 month mot, I would not expect it to last the 12 month check mot history with app like vehicle smart to check for any nastys on previous mot's but for £500 would not expect much cheers Joe

Hi the gap in the radiator I think had been put there so if you have a bump the radiator will bend and twist, with out bursting now you've reinforced it odds are it would just rip it self apart new radiator going to last 10 years plus even with out been reinforced, toyed with the idea with my new radiator, but ended leaving it as it was designed, there must be a reason it was done cheers Joe

hi saw this https://www.jaginfo.org/threads/amber-water-in-fuel-refer-to-owners-handbook-message-2010-xf-s-3-0.102560/ cheers Joe

Hi Peter Diesels are known for eating batteries, especially if used on short runs the glow plugs take so much out the battery and if only taken on a short run, whats was taken out on starting is not put back in, in charge and eventually the battery get lower and lower worth mentioning just for a bit extra money, AGM batteries are far superior, with more cranking amps and recharge quicker if your not going be doing many miles, may be worth buying a ctek charger and topping the battery up once a week I use ctek chargers on two of my cars, my mitsubishi battery is over 13 years old now and the battery on my Jaguar looks to be original, but both run on the good stuff "petrol" cheers Joe

hi yes wheel would have to be removed and yes some screws and plastic clips this one should be ok to jump start cheers Joe

drivers front wheel well, behind the red post, is where your feet are, you would have to remove the wheel arch liner cheers Joe

hi if you open the bonnet and then open the fuse box, there some exposed brass parts, that is usually enough to get the boot to pop but you talking of putting the ignition on to get it out of park, dont if that will work there one connection in the drivers front wheel arch, pic below cheers Joe

hi as with most modern car, can usually only be done with software if you have just had i serviced take it back, it part of the service to reset it cheers Joe

hi most modern cars are like that, as they use hid lights for dip if hid light go off the have to start up again, so are left on continuous features like that are not programable cheers Joe

hi some clutches need special tools for setting them just wondering if this is the case here cheers Joe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp5KeAQntGM

hi here some info cheers joe

Hi depends on model, post a pic up of the front of your car there should be plenty of these on ebay cheers Joe

hi, I'd more than likely a faulty module and a sensor damp in the boot causes modules to fail Plug A is a aux power socket, for accessories like a tracker plug B is for transit relay, only used when new for shipping and transporting, isolates the battery, when keys are removed and is also "missing lead", drivers side, by battery, is a aux socket, with a earth, permanent 12v and a switch 12v cheers Joe

hi could be one of many things you need to get it plugged in and see what the fault codes say cheers Joe
