What about covering the one in the pillar between the doors? Hi Ragnar, Glad to hear, pardon the pun, that the source of the noise has been traced. It's never a good idea to disable a sensor or inhibit its performance - particularly those associated with driver/passenger safety. I would try the Jag...

A nice looker and low mileage to boot. I would be tempted........but its Beige!

Hi Gary, Dumb question perhaps but have you checked the tyre pressures lately and is there any indication of uneven wear on the tyres? Second dumb question; have you checked the tyres for good tread across the full face and checked for oil/other contamination? If tyre pressure is too high less of th...

you'd be better off banking the money towards any repairs that might be needed, and if nothing goes wrong you still have the money! I fully agree with Brian on this one. On the 3rd anniversary of buying my first Jag the dealer offered me and extended warranty package that I considered extortionate ...

Hi Henry, Most conversion kits include the complete headlight assembly which includes a connector that allows you to plug the wiring directly to the existing loom. I'm not sure if the connector can be bought separately but it may be worth your while getting in touch with SNG Barratt by phone to have...

They are readily available from eBay or Amazon. Just make sure that buy the right one for your car.

Frankly the only safe assumption regarding rust is yes it can sprout anywhere that water and/air can penetrate. You don't say what you used to paint the exterior but some suppliers of rust treatments use spray cans the have a flexible tube and spray head to help cover internal services that have lim...

Hi Steve, I have not checked the connectors on the rear of mine but I did strip the front end down recently to fix a droopy headlight problem. In doing so I came across three types of electrical connector. One had plastic tab and clip locks - lift the clip gently away from the tab to separate these....

No way should you be getting through 5 litres so quickly. Theres clearly a leak somewhere in the system, have you noticed any puddles under the car after its been parked overnight say? Could be anything from a damaged reservoir to a burst, broken or disconnected pipe.

Hi Dave, Ultimate Black is a popular colour across the later models of Jaguar so I think your dealer may be having some computer problems - probably of the fat finger / numb nut variety. Your paint code should be PEL, check the VIN plate on the on the A pillar passenger side. Touch up pen kits are a...

Main dealers seem to have an uncanny ability to cause ones jaw to drop.

If it's not a complete lack of knowledge, poor workshop expertise and discipline or bad/arrogant management then they're sure to get ones jaw to hit the floor with their prices.

Hi All, I took my S Type (3.0L SE Auto) for a longish run today, about 60 miles with no stops en route. Unfortunately the first person I was due to visit was out so I returned to the car after only a couple of minutes. When I turned the key the starter motor tried to turn but did not appear to have ...

Should be easy to rule the Aux Belt in or out of the equation. Check the belt for any damage, if a pulley is running off centre the belt will show wear on the edges and you may see some separation of the fibres. If the belt appears to be in good condition, check to see if the belt slips on the pulle...

Hi Gordon, Safe to say that the ticking noise only lasts 2-3 seconds during/after hitting a small bump then? If so, the only thing that comes to mind is perhaps is perhaps a loose cable that may be swinging around inside a body cavity after hitting a bump. If possible could you open the rear door to...

Hi Gwynfor, Check these guys out. I have not used them myself but they seem to have a good reputation. Grantham Bridge Motors 18 Kidderminster Rd, Droitwich, WR9 9AY 01905 772909 I hope this helps but would agree David that a full re-build should be unnecessary. A good clean, check and getting it st...
