hi on later s-types there all the same, the washer jet usually clips to the wiper arm, not the wiper itself, looks like your has been altered will try find some pics cheers Joe

hi usually the smell of burning oil is oil coming from the cam covers and oil dripping on the exhaust manifolds but not sure myself really on your model of car, exhaust really is the only place hot enough to burn oil, it would just sit every where else only thing I'd recommend is try ringing Chris isle, The Jaguar specialist, really friendly and very informative and may help you over the phone you can also ask him on facebook as hes on most of the Jaguar groups and helps lots of people with advice cheers Joe

hi if you can justify keeping it, you may have to at that price its in S-type R money and there going to hold there money/value a lot better similar examples go for a lot less, you will only get what people are prepared to pay may be better putting it on Ebay as a classified, cheap to sell with lots of pics and buy far the widest audience to sell a car dont forget to put all its history as well good luck with the sale cheers Joe

Hi If your keeping the car, you cant go wrong with replacing the battery I bought my battery from the the battery mega store, it was a agm battery and its been great and the prices are also great https://www.batterymegastore.co.uk/ batteries on these cars cause all kind of issues, especially if its a diesel, they take so much out on start up also some cars have two batteries, maybe be worth getting both checked theres no guarantee a new battery will cure it, but its the best place to start and cures most problems like this cheers Joe

hi have you changed the oil, diesels can suffer with oil dilution with leaky injectors and can destroy a engine if missed I'd change the oil first, make sure correct grade and spec is used cheers joe

HI The gearboxes are rebuild able and repairable first step would be get codes read with Jaguar ids/sdd software to see what fault is and go from there could be a sticky solenoid in the gearbox to something as simple as a abs sensor, or even a air leak on the engine cheers Joe

hi whats a certificate of conformity, never heard of one cheers Joe

hi there isn't any now, was Ford Etis, but does not support jaguar any more what you trying to find out cheers Joe

only other option was like above, buy a cheap bluetooth elm adapter, can be bought for around a fiver, just pop it in the obd port, then use something like " Tourqe app " on your phone and you will be able to view temp that way There will be a way to view, but its just finding how to I have a S-type R, well its the same on all S-types, you get a temperature gauge, but its just for show, they show cold then goes slowly to the center of the gauge, which would indicate normal running temp, but on the S-type's you can put the dash into diagnostic mode and bring up the actual engine temperature, the temperature can move over 30 deg C and the temperature gauge always stays in the center, its as if they dont trust you with the actual temperature itself, only when the temp gets too hot, just before overheating does the gauge move from the center position to full temp. The diagnostic mode on the S-types is very usefull and xf will have something similar, its just finding how to access it cheers Joe

hi your car might be the newer model, but heres some clips off youtube have a look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad0cJGYfJwY this have a look a 5;30 onwards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o3AGKuWxJw cheers Joe

hi quite a few places do them online they look like a s-type number plate have a look here https://www.onestopnumberplates.co.uk/product/shaped-rear-plates/

hi thats the intercooler radiator there known to fail, especially if they have been mapped new intercooler will fix it cheers Joe

hi theres people that repair these, my local locksmith does theres also kits on ebay to replace the switch on the board if your handy with a soldering iron cheers Joe

hi have a look on bershire jaguar site they list xf parts for newer model cheers Joe

hi for parts try sng barratt or british car parts or bershire jaguar all these do oe and aftermarket service parts, but I prefer to stick to oe, there not much dearer and fit perfect get the part number you need from the sng barratt site and then look on ebay and genuine parts can be bought cheaper from jaguar dealers cheers Joe

hi that looks like a post 2002 subframe pre 2002 were more tubular, where thats more box get under the rear and have a look cheers Joe pre 2002 pics below

Hi Think thats walnut burr, cant tell properly as you cant click on the pictures it was a optional extra, hence why you don't see them very often its down to every ones taste really, I don't like the wood really, very old fashioned, maybe grow on me when I'm a pensioner prefer the R's myself, with no chrome and no wood in mine the seats are quite easy to restore, plenty of video's on youtube cheers Joe

hi might help if you give some details of the part like part number, car, year , model engine and maybe a pic of the part cheers Joe

hi not that easy, to many things to swap, plus it would all need coding to the car as well easier to put a replacement diesel in cheers Joe

hi have a look at SNG Barratt or british cars parts also try https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/ if you know the sizes cheers Joe

hi easiest fix would be to fit new ones the inner bolts that fix to the subframe usually rust and wont come undone and sometime they need to be cut off if you measure the length and set the new ones the same they should be ok till you get 4 wheel alignment, or they effect tracking at the rear and will wear the rear tyres out try brittish car parts or berkshire jaguar who keep them in stock and can ship them next day cheers Joe

hi Id check the wiring around where you have been working first , just in case you have disturbed something or left some thing unplugged, easily done and easily missed cheers Joe
