  1. Hi Have you checked it with a multi meter check the battery voltage, should be over 12 volts, not running, with engine running 14 volts to 14.5 volts if you have over 14volts check the connections on the back of the alternator, battery warning light is operated by the alternator any thing under 13 volts with the engine running and you have a problem, check alternator belt is tight cheers Joe
  2. Hi You have to plug in and see what the fault codes are, it can be one of many things fault code will narrow it down, have you checked all the fuses and disconnected and reconnected the battery cheers Joe
  3. hi have a look on sng barret or british car parts cheers Joe http://www.sngbarratt.com/CatalogueProducts.aspx?m=49&c=15134&s=13961&a=13976 https://www.britishparts.co.uk/products?utf8=✓&name_or_keywords=C2C12747
  4. hi at a guess its lost its position sensor, either the unit is faulty in the window motor or wiring try wriggling the wires in the door shut gap, the wires there can break, due the constant opening and shutting of the door cheers Joe
  5. Hi They stopped making the XK8 x100 in 2005, so your 2007 will be the same as a 2005 unless yours is a XK x150 2005 - 2014 cheers Joe

  8. Hi That's good if there been no impact damage, then once they check the tyre, you should get a refund eventually I take it you don't have a full size spare wheel, just the space saver , as you could of put the spare wheel on I hate the space savers, I bought a full size alloy, there quite cheap for a good condition used one and they still fit in the boot, can't beat a full size spare cheers Joe
  9. HI I'd say that's a manufacturing defect, in the material in the sidewall you need to get it changed as soon as, would not like to drive that at speed, as it could let go and make a right mess try going back to where you had them, they may be able to contact Pirelli and get it replaced free, they usually try to keep customers happy you have nothing to lose, may be worth a try thanks Joe
  10. Hi You missed a good few Jaguar's today at RAF Cosford I took some pics and made a slideshow Have a look here RAF Cosford Jaguar's cheers Joe
  11. hi The only thing I can say is get under neath and get bouncing if it makes the noise all the time you should be to pin point it, its either going to be a shocker or a bush, these poly upgraded bushes have been known to make horrible squeaking noises, cheers Joe
  12. Hi and Welcome Halford do some upgraded bulbs that are the same wattage, but brighter, some so do make a good difference might be worth check the alignment of your headlights as well as adjuster are prone to breaking and make the headlight droop too low, make visability very poor cheers Joe
  13. Hi Went to RAF Cosford today and took some pics Turned them into a slideshow and uploaded it to Youtube link below cheers Joe RAF Cosford Jaguar's
  14. Hi when you decide to get your bumper sorted if the paint gets worse I would not replace the front bumper, Just get it re painted at a descent body shop there's nothing wrong with the bumper, it just the paint, if the paint not applied correct, it will give a cracked effect, but its in the paint and any good body shop can sort it sometimes if the base coat it not allowed to dry enough, flash off time, allows the solvents to dry off, then the laquer is applied, the base coat stays slightly soft, when the base coat eventually dries, it shrinks slightly, causing the laquer to crack, which looks like hair line cracks cheers Joe
  15. hi have a look at sng top company http://www.sngbarratt.com/CatalogueSections.aspx?m=51 cheers Joe
  16. Hi the ones for the S-type and X-type are of the springer type the leaper rotates under spring tension and would almost surely break off if hit by something so if you look for one you want the sprung leaper cheers Joe
  17. Hi Go to Jaguar Topix login in as a guest and put your vin number in it will give you all the original spec and any recalls due if you get stuck pm your vin and I can do it on Jaguar IDS/SDD cheers Joe
  18. Hi Easily done, as soon as you open any doors on the s-type, most of the electrics become live the back lights on the s-type have 2 separate 12 volts feeds to each light, and there live most of the time, because the s-type uses permanent 12v feed to most things and then switched the earth to operate them through control modules so you do have to watch when removing any lamps holders or anything on the car as they are live 12v feed for forty minutes after any door or boot has been opened if in doubt allways disconnect the battery cheers Joe
  19. Hi and Welcome Looks very nice Cheers Joe
  20. Hi Not heard of any issues with Jaguar, Locking systems are usually good there are usually of the rolling code type, so cannot be scanned and reproduced as peter has said, seen the issue with the mercedes, this week, there was also a big issue with ford focus RS's, where the car is broken into and by plugging a tool into the obd port the cars security could be over ridden, started and driven off on brand new cars known common issues are people using jammers, which jams the signal from your remote and when you walk away and think its locked, its not and as soon as your out of sight, your car gets raided. only other common one is people are wedging coins in your passenger side handles, so there partial pulled/open, this also stops the car from been locked, but only works on certain cars personally I don't like these keyless entry and starting systems, there's too many things go wrong, You can't beat a good old key, with a transponder in it, got to be the hardest thing to get past. you could put some security device on yourself, like on my S-type R, there's a fuse box in the boot, one could open it and put a switch on one side hidden which could cut the feed to the fuel pumps, so the car would not be able to be driven away, could be useful if you park somewhere dodgy or even go on holiday cheers Joe
  21. Hi Pete Have not been Cosford in years, so should be a great day will take some pictures to share on here cheers Joe
  22. Hi I find when I'm in my Jaguar, its so comfy that I'm more relaxed and chilled out and been more relaxed, makes for better driving but there's allways someone out there to ruin your day cheers Joe
