hi Same here I'd shop around, try some of the online shops like moneysupermarket, go compare, confused, compare the market, these will give a good idea of insurance also I tried Footman James, as I'm also a member of JDC, they gave me a great discount and were cheaper than all the above and there was only £50 excess also sometimes its worth putting your spouse on the policy as well, as it can bring the premium down, with the online ones you can try it both ways to see which is best cheers Joe

Hi Try MTEC brakes they seem Ok https://www.mtecbrakes.com/brake-discs.html or SNG BARRATT https://www.sngbarratt.com/uk/#!/English/FindParts/Families or british parts https://www.britishparts.co.uk/jaguar-parts-c11 but places like europarts use good quality parts as well https://www.eurocarparts.com/ cheers Joe

hi only way to know for sure is to plug in and read the codes could be one of many things, but it sounds like a faulty sensor seen something as simple as a faulty ABS sensor cause this type of fault don't think its engine related as usually you have to switch engine off for those to clear cheers Joe

HI Just had a quick look, looks like theres only gaskets on the upper covers any way bet the bottom cover either has a gasket built in that does not need changing cheers Joe

Hi have a look on SNG BARATT site or British car parts SNG site is good and its got all the part listed cheers Joe

Hi I did mine a couple of years ago new headlights are £813 each to remove the headlight you have to drop the front bumper, which come off reasonably easy I removed the bumper and removed both headlights, split them replaced all the adjuster for new type one's that dont break, cleaned them out, swapped the hid bulbs for 8k ones, much brighter, also polished the lenses, so they came up like new# took about 4 hours from start to finish, but well worth it cheers Joe

Hi May be worth doing a oil change first if the oil is too thick, it can cause the noise you described and it causes a delay in oil pressure to the vvt cheers Joe

Hi This is a common problem on the S-types, At a guess the headlight adjusters have broke inside the headlight are some plastic adjusters that snap, they can be replaced there's 2 options 1 the best one really is order the adjusters off ebay , remove the light and split it and replace the adjusters 2 there a screw fix method, its a bit heath robinson, but does the job also worth remember on these lights, if you unplug them with the battery connected, the self leveling will stop working and can only be reset with jaguar software to tell if your adjusters have broke, remove the bulb cover of the rear of the light for the high beam, hold the bulb connector and gently push and pull, if the lamp moves and fell loose, the adjuster has broke cheers Joe adjuster look like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-S-type-S-type-NORMAL-XENON-headlamp-headlight-repair-kit-adjuster-2-SETS/281175787162?_trkparms=pageci%3A62ecc327-29f5-11e8-b39c-74dbd1800491|parentrq%3A348377461620ab12391972f4fffc0415|iid%3A1&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236 the quick screw fix
