Hi if you only drive around the town, your allways going to get dpf issues no matter how much additive you put in Peter uses Millers Eco plus Diesel cheers Joe

hi the original jaguar pads are terrible for dust, really bad I used EBC Red Stuff on my S-type R and get next to no dust now, even get better braking cheers Joe

hi there all pretty similar, if you put higher wattage bulbs in, you run the chance of burning the front body module out that controls the lights ive used the ring bulbs before and the last, unlike some of the other https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ring-Xenon150-H7-12v-Car-150-Brighter-Upgrade-Bulbs-Headlight-Headlamp/183548940438?epid=19034905506&hash=item2abc5e9096:g:7voAAOSwZddb9qzo cheers Joe

hi it should work if you have the touch screen also if you phone a dealer they usually give it you for free or look on ebay, you can get the code with the serial number for £1, if its not the oe strereo cheers Joe

hi usually a faulty sounder, if the electronic type, you could just unplug it if it anything else it usually flashes the indicators more time to tell you where the fault is cheers Joe

hi go on euro car parts you get a good choice from budget to premium on both discs and pads I fitted quite a few from there and never had any issues cheers Joe

hi as with many old classics, there always something to do or repair if the fans are working, its either airlocked or if theres a mechanical cable operated water valve that not working, but hopefully something simple cheers joe

hi its also worth asking if they have done a s-type before they are well known for been awkward for tow bars as the require a special controller module as the rear lights are not wired normal, they use a positive earth which means all the bulbs have a permanent feed on one side of the bulb and the other side goes to the rear body module which switches the earth to bring each light on cheers Joe

HI First this post is 4 years old have a look below on how to pair your phone also if you search for bluetooth devices and Jaguar does not come up, odss are it aint got it, as it was a option only cheers Joe

hi and welcome best place for info is here http://www.jagrepair.com/ cheers Joe

hi with out plugging in and reading the fault codes, its just pure guess work with whats up with it get yourself a icarsoft jaguar code reading and read the codes and find out most of the times its simple thing like a tired battery, low battery causes lots of problems with modules cheers Joe

hi do you have any pics of the pully you mean cheers Joe

Hi The gearboxes are supposed to be sealed for life, which is absolute rubbish well worth changing the oil, will prolong the life but I would only use genuine zf parts, I think your has the ZF 8HP45 I use something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/genuine-jaguar-xe-zf-8hP45-automatic-transmission-gearbox-pan-sump-filter-7L-oil/263773343119?hash=item3d6a1dcd8f:g:3Z8AAOSwBgZdNgHr for a few reasons, it left the factory with that oil, the TCM is submersed within the oil in the gearbox and when you change the oil, some oil stays in the torque convertor and it can only be drained completely by removal only, mixing different oils is always a bad idea cheers Joe P.S, here a link to work shop manual to make things easier https://www.dropbox.com/s/ee2nxkx6fgqmb25/workshop_manual.zip?dl=1

hi the tv module is usually built into the touch screen cheers Joe

hi not sure about the XF, but I think the wheels nuts are the same on my S-type R if there the flat seat ones with a stainless cover, there a bad design, if there tightened up with air guns, the stainless sleeve slips and you can't get them undone, also there reknown for shearing off have a look at the pics below cheers Joe standard ones oe wheel bolts swap them for these, these are solid no covers and are still 19mm so oe wheel brace can be used https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20x-ALLOY-WHEEL-NUTS-JAGUAR-S-TYPE-X-TYPE-CHROME-LUG-BOLT-STUD-QUALITY-20L/322551270259?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144

hi try Ebay theres usually lots on there or a breakers like Auto reserve jaguar , worth giving these a ring, they break running cars daily https://www.autoreservejaguar.com/ cheers Joe

hi its usually one of the fuel gauges in the tank, most have 2 fuel gauge senders, because there a hump in the tank but to confirm you can put the dash in diagnostic mode and get all the gauges to sweep to proove its ok have a look at the bottom for links cheers Joe http://www.jagrepair.com/images/TSB/TSB2/NEW XJ/413Inst & panel illumination/Additional Diagnostics for Instrument Cluster.pdf http://www.bluejag.co.uk/S-Type Instrument-cluster-diagnostics.php http://www.bluejag.co.uk/S-Type Instrument-cluster-diagnostic info.php

hi just found this, maybe worth trying cheers Joe These instructions are suitable for XJ XJ6 XJ8 XJR and XJ TDV6 models 2003-2010 The procedure to program the remote fob or fobs is very simple and should take less than one minute. No tools are required. All remote fobs available must be present when the car is in programming mode, so that they can be programmed at the same time as the new fob. Any fobs that have previously been programmed to the car will need reprogramming at a later date if they are not available when carrying out the following procedure. 1. Enter the car and sit in the Drivers seat. 2. Place the key in the ignition. 3. Hold the headlight flasher arm back – the blue “high beam” light will come on the dashboard and the headlights will come on. 4. Keep holding the headlight flasher back and turn the ignition key to position 1. 5. Release the flasher, and then flash the headlights FOUR TIMES. You will hear a “Beep” on the fourth flash of the headlight – this is to confirm that the car has entered Programming Mode. 6. Program each transmittor by pressing any button on each fob ONCE. You will hear a “Beep” to confirm the car has programmed to the fob. 7. The remotes are now ready to use.

hi usually charging the battery fully cures this, but you may need to get it plugged in to read codes, they may just want reseting have you tried switching the ignition on and pressing the button on the remotes, then switch ignition of and try them cheers Joe

hi the 2002 plus cars, the lower shocker bush is in the lateral arm, not in the shocker, pre 2002 cars had them in the bottom of the shocker either way there was no need to touch the track rod ends odds are you tracking is out now, and it will effect handling and will wear your tyres out, if its bad enough cheers Joe

hi which bushing have you had replaced

hi its usually the lube in the lock goes hard and stop the mech from working correct ive had it before, I just removed the door panel, and sprayed lots of wd40 in the door lock unit, which seem to flush the dried lube out and cured it cheers Joe
