hi I bought some of these ages ago i used 4 off these to make a 4 wheel alignment gauge for my mitsubishi they might do the job and for the price you wont lose much anyway they work off 2 AAA batteries but you could easily replace them with a power supply have added some pics 2 off ebay cheers Joe

Hi no the laser markers im thinking are just for projecting a long line from the back of your garage they would project really far then i would use a limit switch on the garage door just to bring it on cheers joe

hi what do you mean detection, if it was on a limit switch it would come on as soon as the garage door is open

hi I'd just use a laser line, there plenty on ebay and there really cheap mount it on your back wall, so it projects a red line down the middle of you garage floor and in the middle of your garage doors it should project a good way out of your garage you could put a limit switch on you garage door, so as soon as it opens, hit the switch and brings you laser on then all you have to do is line it up with the led in the middle of the front of your dash, the security flashing led, it bang middle of your dash that should take you in, bang in the middle all the way cheers joe

hi only had mine off the other week so it was still fresh in my mind are the four plastic pegs still intact on the back there four pressed nuts on them, they usually snap off cheers

HI you can download it from most places on the web you just need adobe acrobat reader which is free also then you just double click on the file and it opens then just browse to what you need and print it if you want a link to where you can download it just PM me cheers joe

hi to swap this you need to remove 1 plastic cover, on inside of boot lid with grab handle slots, there two screws, under two plastic covers, just pop the plastic cover out, screws are torx 2 remove carpet/trim from inside of boot lid there a good few clips all round the trim and 2 in the middle, flat blade screw driver will ease them out 3 unplug both number plate lights and unplug boot open push button, ( put a rag over the boot lock because if you shut the boot by mistake you wont be able to open it ) 4 there 2 metal covers over the number plate lamp holders, sqeeze top and bottom of cover and they come out ( i would leave these two metal cover off when you reassemble, these allways cause the boot lid to rust, you see what i mean when you take the jaguar trim off ) 5 you can remove both number plate lamp holders now, they just pull out 6 there 4 pressed metal nuts that hold the jaguar trim on, just feel inside, two each side, spray a bit of wd40 on these first, the plastic thread allways snap off 7 give the jaguar trim a little pull and it should come off, there just two little clips holding it on 8 remove the boot open push button and swap it to the new one, 2 srews rest is just in reverse cheers Joe

hi I ve never seen one, but if there were, it would be about 2 feet thick as the workshop part alone is over 3300 pages , then you have the electrical manuals, updates and many more just use the pdf and print off what you need cheers Joe

hi thats good where from ? cheers joe

Hi Yes thats where the original jaguar one is, right hand side in the recess, fused 20A its also handy for tyre pump cheers joe

Hi mine came with croc clips and direct connection lead I had to extend and add a fuse to the direct connection lead, fuse is a must but there's load of accesories for the ctek chargers, leads, led leads that show battery level at a glance, mounting brackets they also come with a 5 year guarantee which is good the genuine jaguar one has a socket in the boot, which is a pain if you forget, so i altered mine to the front of the car.

hi Paul I have the genuine Jaguar charger, it came with the car, its mains 240v. and its really good, keeps the battery tip top, you can run the car also while its on charge and is a definate if your using sdd/ids software on your car, because you keep have to cycling the ignition to do various things, when reseting faults. I was thats impressed with the ctek charger i bought a second one for my mitsubishi off amazon there only £40 the model is CTEK XS3.3 its a smart 4 step charger, works really well Ive installed the plug, at the front, in the grill, just under the number plate, when i get home i put the car in the garage, i just plug it in. when i go out i just unplug it, or if i forget, as i usually do it just unplugs it self, just goes back to the fuse box and fuse protected. some pics 1st one the genuine charger these are over £150 from jaguar, the 2nd is the exact same charger, same model number but only £40 from amazon only difference is no jaguar logo and no fancy jaguar case Cheers joe

hi you need the phone module, bluetooth module and fibre optic loop. phone module 2W93-19K350-AA , 2W93-19K350- AD , the last letter is software revision so higher letter the better bluetooth module 3W83-14B409-AD , the last letter D the higher the better as will be lastest software and supports more phone's and lastly you need a fibre optic cable I have 3W83-14B409-AD and it works with my new sony xperia z4 fine also you need check your plug have 8 wires in it, in the armrest for the bluetooth to work, my car had the 8 wires, its a 2004 STR, but did not work I had to swap some of the wires about to get the bluetooth to work, but this is quite easy and i can supply you with instructions if required if your car it 2005 plus then there just plug and play the phone and bluetooth are plug and play if wired correct, you just reconnect your battery and the car scans for them and they will work if it does not work, you will either have a problem with the fibre optic or bluetooth connection plug being incorrectly wired you can also fit a later phone/bluetooth module, that later cars had, which is a black plastic unit that is phone and bluetooth combined, these dont come up as often, and you need to make sure it comes with the little bluetooth aerial that attaches under the parcel shelf, not sure of part number cheers joe

Hi Paul, Diesels do eat batteries my local battery supplier if you ask for a battery and you know the part number, he will ask what car its off, if you say a petrol you will get a 4 year guarantee but if you say diesel you only get 12 months, for the same battery and to top it off the jag has so many toys that also puts extra load on the battery Ive got a jaguar trickle charger on mine, which is just a rebadged CTEK charger and is well recommended, it keeps the battery tip top also on my car when i had it, if the car was left the battery went low enough after only 3 weeks not to start and when i looked into it, the battery was quite new but i found my car had a tracker fitted, which i assume was fitted from new, but there was no info in the service history about it the tracker had a battery backup on it, which was a battery like in your house alarm panels and been 10 years old, this dud battery was causing the main car battery to go flat a lot quicker than normal since removing the tracker the battery lasts much much longer also i have read on some sites thats these cars require a certain type of battery,dont know how true this is never looked into it its most probably just because you started it a few times in short duration and it just took too much out of the battery i bet a good run will sort it or a night on a trickle charger cheers joe

HI its a diesel youll never get the same sound of the V8 petrol if you look on youtube there's a x-type diesel with a quicksilver sports exhausts it still sounds like a tractor, I think you wasting your money usually with diesels with sports exhaust you just get a louder gushing noise from the exhaust there no diesel v6 jags on you tube with adamesh systems so that should answer your question cheers joe

Hi Yes its a bit of a fiddle was in my fuse box a couple of months ago when i fitted drl lights think i undid the big clips first as raised the fuse box out of it mounting bracket then i did each clip around the sides, but like you say if you slip it just clips back together if you have some tyraps try sliding them in the clip and leave one in each clip, might make it easier cheers

Hi I'd come from the engine bay fuse box also there clips all round the fuse box, the larger ones release the fuse box off its bracket the smaller ones allow you take the top off the fuse box to expose all the wiring just slide a flat blade screwdriver in the clip while using pull tension on the fuse box and once there all unclipped the lid will come off there should be some spare permanent fused way in there for other options, just test them cheers joe

HI you just need a voice module and fibre optic lead for it you all ready have a mic, it uses the same one as the phone cheers joe

Hi Genuine are ideally the best but ive have had parts from " british parts online" who specialise in jaguar they do oe spec ones, which are good quality and ive never had any problems with them and there prices are really good here a link https://www.britishparts.co.uk/ cheers joe

hi If you get a judder/shake through the brake pedal usually its the discs warped or have uneven wear some times you get softer parts on the disc that wear quicker than the rest of the disc cause uneven disc, causing the judder/shake are you sure they replaced them and not just had them skimmed, it a lot cheaper to have them skimmed and they usually only offer a short term fix check the discs if there new there centre's should look quite new and they should have no heavy rust other wise if you have access to a digital vernier you could measure the disc every couple of inches and it should be the same size, if the size alters even slightly then the discs are at fault some garages will have them skimmed for cost and ease, but they dont last the discs do take some abuse especially on auto cars, quite heavy cars and modern big brakes, discs can wear quick, but they usually wear even. cheers joe

Hi Yes mines tucked away at the moment, Its seems such a shame to get it Dirty when the Jag is so clean at the moment All serviced and ready for those dry days cheers Joe

Hi Alan If you PM me your vin number i can tell you if your car left the factory with it installed I can put your vin into sdd/ids and it will give me the spec of your car cheers joe

HI like Gary says, if you press the Voice button on the steering, is should beep and say listening on the dash, if it says mute on the nav display, then it might not if you have Phone built in then you might all ready have a mic, if it not visible between your sun visor and interior light, then you will need a mic some had mic built into interior light, but these were not very good and a external one is fitted on the roof lining between your sun visor and interior light, which are a lot better phone module goes in the boot on the back of a metal panel behind the cd changer/nav unit in the boot you can get them on ebay and there plug and play, you will also need a fibre optic lead as well if you buying a module off ebay look at the numbers the last two letters refer to software version so the later letters are better so a BE is better than a BA, also check it says ENG on it foe english as there are loads of foreign one on ebay. cheers Joe

Hi yes this will get it working again you can get the latest dvd sat nav discs off ebay, think latest one is 2012 version cheers joe

No problem, It might get someone out of the Deep stuff cheers Joe
