Problem sorted.
Caused by a faulty replacement brake servo. Apparently when you have the brake servo replaced you should also replace the master cylinder. Its a known problem with the S-Type. Both parts now replaced with genuine jaguar parts with a 2yr warranty.

Thanks Jeff, will give it a try. The cruise sometimes cancels when the brake pedal hasn't been pressed. It would seem that somehow the discs/brakes are somehow catching or applying remotely which subsequently disengages the the cruise. The car goes in for a check on Weds so it will be very interesti...

Hi, I have a 2007 2.7 Turbo Diesel (Genuine 29K miles). When I apply the brake pedal as normal it feels spongy and sticks and brings the car to a halt on it's own. When I press the pedal sharply it releases the brakes. Also when driving with cruise control the fault can on occasions cancel the funct...

Thanks Jeff, I was under the impression it was made from steel not rubber. I'll make arrangements to get it replaced.

Hi, Can anyone please confirm if the cam belt / timing chain on this model is metal? (I read differing reports). I'm aware that the general recommendation is that its changed if the vehicle is over 10yrs or has covered 100,000 miles. I only ask as my car has only done 29k miles from new and am undec...

I had a similar issue, which was caused by a faulty brake servo. Once replaced the problem was resolved. The brake pedal switch was also changed whilst undergoing the repair.

I'm having an issue operating the front nearside window (electrics) on my 2007 2.7 Turbo Diesel, whereby the window opens/closes, but does not perform the normal straight up or down operation. It goes down in short bursts and when closed will allow you to open it in small/short movements. When tryin...

Hi Guys, I recently wrote about some Electrical problems I'd been experiencing with my Diesel 2.7, and said I'd keep you posted on the resolved outcome. Mike suggested a local independent Jaguar garage whom he highly recommended (I passed on your regards Mike!!). Peter the owner quickly diagnosed th...

Thanks so much Brian, Mike Thomas and Doug for you excellent prompt responses. Its most appreciated that you have taken the time out to offer help based upon your own experiences and knowledge. I'll certainly take on board all your comments and advice and Mike I'll give PJG (past Homebase) a call an...

Hi, I own a 2007 2.7 turbo diesel automatic and recently posted a problem relating to a battery issue whereby little usage was causing the battery not to fully charge (I intend getting a solar charger fitted in the near future). However, when I tried to start the car with this issue I got various wa...

Hi Doug, I rang my local Jaguar dealership to order the Auxiliary Power Unit (part no C2A 1403) only to find out that the part is no longer available and has been discontinued. Why Jaguar stopped supplying this part remains a mystery, and would appear short sighted especially with all the additional...

Doug,

Thanks for your help and advice. The YouTube video is excellent. I'm pretty sure that's the route I'll take. I'm sure others must be suffering like myself and this option will help keep idle batteries well charged.

Hi I don't use my 2007 S-Type 2.7 diesel on a regular basis and have noticed that the battery needs recharging now and then. I want to purchase a solar charger but am not sure if there is a power output socket inside the car (similar to cigarette lighter socket) whereby I can leave it plugged in wit...

Hi Oldtimer, I've agreed with my local garage that they will repair the under tray and clear out any debris and re-wax as you suggested. They will also make good any damage to the jack sills to stop any possible rust getting hold. I've been a customer of this garage for nearly 35yrs and they are exc...

Thank you my friend, the M.O.T will be coming up soon and I have an excellent local garage who I'll get to check out the sills and undertake any required repairs. Like you I get really annoyed at the way these idiots just damage your car without any regrets. I pride my car, its in excellent conditio...
