hI FOUND THIS http://www.jagrepair.com/images/TSB/TSB2/S-Type/307Gearbox/S307-15 Squeak Noise During Acceleration.pdf

Hi Yes the engine would not start, but it would turn over and crank and maybe so not start he's getting nothing when he turns the key, engine is not turning, starter is not engaging, so ckp sensor does not matter cheers

Hi and Welcome Craig there's plenty of info on here, to help you cheers Joe

hi looking back at you first comment,your problem was you could not get it out of park, its interlocked just checked on my car, you cant move it from park with the engine running or engine stopped unless you press the brake you can only start the car unless the N or P are lit up red on the j-gate you need to check these next time it wont start this will tell where the fault is starting.xps the problem you will have is that you will only be able to check when the fault there, I would be tempted to change relay 20 in the engine bay as this could fail with heat as its right next to the engine you could swap it with another relay in the fuse box next time it fails just to prove it

Hi If your handy with a multi meter or know someone who is this will help you starting.xps

when you say the car won't start does the starter motor turnover when you turn the ignition key, yes or no or does the car starter turnover but the engine wont start yes or no

hi I would say your missing a sensor or signal thats saying the car not ready to start will try to find a fault procedure in the s-type manual, might say what to check for cheers

hi gordon is your car petrol or diesel cheers

Nice reply, That how the gearbox works, But what it got do with why the car wont start??? I think the only way your going to find this, is by plugging in with diagnostic software It could one of many things, but only sure way is to plug in when the fault there, could anything, could be a sticky j-gate interlock, cable from j-gate to auto box not adjusted correctly, brake pedal switch will have a look if i can find any more info cheers joe

Hi just make sure you get the right size my car when i bought it had 22" and 22" fitted and the passenger side was allways high and sat against the window trim I've since swapped them for 24" drivers side and 18" passenger side and now they fit perfect, i even managed to lower the passenger side wiper arm and now when there down i cant see either wiper from inside the car, I phone jaguar and they told me thats what fitted my car. when you look on ebay they list 22" + 22" and 24" + 18" and 24" +19" all for the Jaguar S-type cheers joe

Hi & Welcome Tim Nice color, similar to my s-type, cheers joe

hi paul if its got the zf 6HP26 6 speed box. make sure you replace the mechatronics sleeve, this is a common leak on this gearbox, new sleeves are improved so they dont leak could also be the filter/sump on these as there only made of plastic, so if its been hit or caught by something, could of cracked cheers joe

Hi Its a shame you dont know someone with one most generic/unversal code readers will read engine codes get a price first and you can get a universal code reader nowadays off ebay for less than £20, this might be your cheapest option and can be used again and again on any car thanks Joe

hi Paul the only thing with the panic is you have to remember it can only be reset by putting your keys in the ignition cant be reset from the remote passive arming is a dead cert for locking your self out of the car I see your playing with the software a bit now cheers joe

Hi next time try moving the j gate to neutral if you press and hold the foot brake, the j gate will go to neutral, then try to start it make sure the park brake is on, as it could roll, as you take it out of park cheers joe

hi no lol does your car have the touch displays, some jaguars with the touch display, by pressing certain buttons you can access a diagnostics screen, where engine fault codes are displayed and can be reset cheers joe

Hi I have bosch twin aero on mine, there only about £18 I thought the washer jets are on the wiper arm, not the wiper blades cheers joe

Hi Thats not a bad price.

hi you can select drive with the park brake on or off because you don't have to release the park brake, you just hit the accelerator and the park brake will release itself, when in drive and also you can start the car with the parking brake off, if its in park. the car will only start in park or neutral, it could be a j gate cable or sensor fault if the P or N is lit on the j gate it should start next time it wont start, try moving in to neutral, N should be lit, see if it starts next time it wont start, try moving the j-gate stick, with the ignition on the P should flash, if it flashes, it knows its in park and should start cheers joe

Hi If you disconnected the EGR and then switched the ignition on, it will logged a engine fault and will need a diagnostic tool plugged in to reset it do you have the touch screen , you can bring up fault codes on that and reset them cheers joe

hi You need to find some one local to you who custom makes exhausts a custom built one to fit your car and built to your spec, quiet or how loud you like it, will usually cost under £500 in stainless if you buy one of the shelf and ready to fit your looking at £1000 to £1200 easy, maybe a bit more http://www.adamesh.co.uk/milltek-sport-performance-exhaust---jaguar-xk8r-40l--42l-1060-p.asp cheers Joe

Hi Only way is to plug in and see if there any fault codes if the ecu was powered up, with no sensors connected there could be errors and fault codes the ecu might even need pairing back to the car, depending on whats been replaced do you have the touch screen option fitted as on my s-type you can bring engine fault codes up on that cheers Joe

Hi Neville The the rear diff on mine only holds 1.25L and gets some serious abuse, due to the power that goes through it and the weight of the car I'm going to change the oil in it every couple of years, due to cost being low ands its so easy to do this is the oil i used cheers Joe

Hi Adam My car has the ZF 6HP26 gearbox auto, as it says sealed for life my car is 2004 and its only just covered just over 30k and drives great, like new the first thing i did, is changed all the oils and I can say when i changed the auto box oil, I noticed a big difference in the way it drove much smoother and gear shifts were also much better, thats on my car any way some people say they noticed a difference and some people dont I would recomend it anyway as for the squeak, might just be a dry or worn bush and when you put your boot down, the movement could cause it to squeak cheers Joe

Hi prices for the compresor new from jaguar are £370 look here https://www.britishparts.co.uk/t/jaguar/jaguar-s-type/cooling-heating your lucky my S-type, there £485 I guess a garage would charge you a couple of hour labour and a gas recharge charge you could get a second hand one and save a fortune, theres loads on ebay and most come with a guarentee, so would make it cost effective look here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAGUAR-S-TYPE-2-7-04-AC-X-AIR-CON-CONDITIONING-PUMP-COMPRESSOR-YR8H-19D629-AB-/301750299205?hash=item4641b82a45:g:xIUAAOxyVLNSshGl http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAGUAR-S-TYPE-R-1999-2008-2-7-D-AIR-CON-COMPRESSOR-PUMP-/262362657662?fits=Car+Make%3AJaguar|Model%3AS-Type&hash=item3d1608737e:g:PCYAAOSwQjNW~UUp http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAGUAR-S-TYPE-2-7-tdv6-AIRCON-COMPRESSOR-PUMP-YR8H19D629AB-/111967478765?fits=Car+Make%3AJaguar|Model%3AS-Type&hash=item1a11c823ed:g:b8AAAOSwbdpWbFQJ cheers Joe
