Hi Steve, thanks for your reply, perhaps I've got it wrong, and everyone is happy with what there region's events .Do you have S type owners in your your region that are willing to talk shop about their cars?

Hello all you S type owners, ARE WE A FORGOTTEN MARK. I ask, because it's obviously escaped your notice that we don't meet. If you want any proof, look at the event pages of other Jaguar brands. As a example; today 22nd August X type, of for a tour of Anglesey. Our last get together was August 2018....

I believe that using the premium desiel ( shell v power) will reduce the well documented problems associated with the DPF Avoiding short journeys will also help as much as using quality fuel. Another benefit of using premium fuel ,is slightly less turbo lag. I admit this is hard to prove or quantify...

Hello again, Ive decided to improve the comfort and look of my driving seat, and after taking advice from a local car trimers, have purchased the "seat cushion " from Jaguar via S N G Barratt. Question is, has anyone had experience in replacing the padding under the leather seat. The part is a mould...

It has kept the car dry upto this month, but now the U V is attacked the vynal outer membrane and hole and splits are occurring.

Thanks for that ,Brian, just had an inspection in the boot , yes i have the multi disc player , and the jaguar navigation system on top. Pushing back the flap of boot lining above these two units, you can see various groups of wires that all appear to be connected, Ive gently tugged them and nothing...

Hi all you S type owners, and clever people, Don't know if anyone has had similar problems when driving alone ( ie nobody to take charge of radio, temp, navigation ect) but when one has glasses to see distance, the buttons incar are somewhat unclear. With this in mind i got to wondering if its possi...

Hi, thanks Dave for your observations, it all adds background to the subject. Well its all good news as my car is back on the drive with excellent brakes. I also asked the garage (E&E Services) to check on the rear brake pipes as ive read these are prone to corrosion. All good no problems. I have to...

Thanks Mike, that makes sense, the pump would provide constant vacuum when you take your foot of the gas, my braking effect was lost after the initial touch of the brakes. Its a fact you DO need good brakes on a car weighing two and quarter tonne, thanks again, Pete.

My local jaguar specialist ( not a dealership) is replacing the brake servo on my S type 2006 diesel, as they were not stopping the car effectively, he has also found a pump on the braking system to be faulty to.. The replacement of both has turned out to be very expensive. Question is, has anyone i...
