I have been musing on what preventative work would be advisable (or indeed essential) in terms of undersealing or similar treatments (such as Lanoguard or other market leading options), especially as we are moving through autumn into what is likely to be another wet winter. I would therefore be interested to get recommendations for my car, and what treatment(s) other owners have gone for, and indeed any recommended specialists who could undertake the work.

I found my I Pace suspension too hard and unable to cope with local potholed roads, and bought a set of German alloys with Michelin Latitude touring tyres which do improve the ride. Having now sold the car (with its original Jaguar wheels) I now have a set of 4 Dezent TA Silver / dark alloys with the tyres, which have done only c. 3000 miles. Any reasonable offer considered.IMG_1370.HEIC IMG_1368.HEIC

Good Evening, My car is a 1989 XJ40 which I bought last December, since then I have only covered around 500 local miles and whilst I have generally enjoyed everything about the car there is one issue which is really annoying for me. I find the front seating, especially the drivers far too low to the floor! Now I am a tall guy around 6ft but I have long legs and a shorter upper body. The car does not have electric seats and I believe that if it did my problem would have been solved because they w

Having fitted a new battery to my 2007 X150 xkr I attempted to reposition my seat by the memory button, the seat back would only keep reclining and is now horizontal, the passenger seat wants to do the same. I've tried hard reboot neg off the battery to the pos still on the battery, no good. I've tried both terminals off the battery held together , no good. I've taken fuses 9 and 18 out forb10 seconds and replaced, no good. I've tried to delete the dtc's with my scanner a "thinkcar" unit, no go

Thanks for your welcome and response Dave. Yes I did try lubricating the latch but I think I was too late. The mechanism was a bit stiff to operate and had been giving those plastic/nylon gears a hard time until one of them let go. At which point the latch was jammed in the open position but I managed to find a work around whilst waiting for a second hand part. I don't suppose there are any cross reference lists available? I've not even got a parts list for this one but I guess there is a link to one on this forum. Thanks again, John

Even after nearly four years of XF ownership, I'm still learning, and these experiences are well appreciated, especially by those like myself who have limited experience. Please keep them coming! Without their contributions, some of us struggle.

Welcome Steve, i had a similar fault on my S Type a few motnhs after buying it, on a hunch i bought a replacement Crank Position Sensor and that cured it. I believe yours uses the same one and they can be picked up for about £20 for an aftermarket item especially from Rock Auto in the USA as they are shared with the Ford Thunderbird and Lincoln LS from the early 2000s. Might be worth checking out the CPS on yours to see if it's losing its output.

Welcome aboard John, did you try lubricating the original boot latch before replacing it? There are many parts shared with other cars like Ford and Volvo on the S Type so it's worth trying to cross reference part numbers. For example, the screenwash pump on my 99 S Type is shared with the Volvo S80 and various Mondeo, Escort and Transit models from the 80s on to around 2005. I can't remember the exact prices but Jaguar wanted about £100, Volvo about £50 and Ford about £25 all for the same part on the shelf and ebay came in at £8 - guess which i bought! Yes there are many parts that are unique to the S Type, some even to specific model years but it's a case of doing some investigating to find what you need.

Hi, I've had an S Type for over 10 years and from time to time its needed replacement parts and its never been a problem. Recently the boot lid would not close and so I tried to source a new boot latch but the part is listed as obsolete (XR856390) and I had some difficulty getting a second hand part. I'm thinking of getting an S Type R but if parts are going to be hard to find I might have second thoughts. So, I'm wondering if anyone on this forum ( if happy to comment :-)) has experienced any difficulty, in keeping their car on the road, due to a lack of spare parts or maybe have the car off the road atm for this very reason. It could just be that I'm looking in all the wrong places so any advice would be welcome! Thanks John
