Hi, I’ve just bought an old S-Type and because of the heat recently the internal roof lining has dropped off a bit. Any idea as to fixes?

Selling our late father's pride and joy - his Jaguar XF, rarer 3 litre petrol. Owned since May 2011. Meticulously looked after and cared for. Mainly serviced by Jaguar. Fantastic MOT history. ONLY JUST UNDER 38,000 MILES and drives faultlessly. A real beautiful car. Obviously, for a 16 year old vehicle there a few stone chips and three things to note: two small scuffs on the front bumper, very very small (20p piece) dent on the rear bumper, alloys are not scuffed but show signs of age (please se

I have a long wheelbase sovereign with inlay on the trim, and picnic tables in the rear. I have not found another one anywhere yet, and wondered if it might be a rare model. It has the straight six four litre engine, does anyone know about these models?

Hi all, I’ve made a couple of posts as I’ve recently bought a MY14 Dynamic R and I’m just having a few niggles with it. I think I have managed to get to the bottom of the issues with my screen but there’s a few other things. Firstly, the car seems to be pulling to the left when I let go of the wheel. It does it on different types of roads, e.g A roads, any motorway lane, residential street. The dealer I bought it from says it’s normal due to the camber of the road but it doesn’t feel particular

I have recently changed cars and took these alloy wheels off before selling. I originally bought these second hand and fitted them to a 2015 XE. 20 inch propeller style in good condition but done scuffs due to a careless tyre fitter. Happy to answer any questions. Collection only from Nottinghamshire. £800

A couple of years ago, the main battery on my XF x250 3 litre diesel would go flat from fully charged over three days to the extent that the engine would fail to turn over and the various systems would incrementally shut down. I changed the voltage regulator, battery, and numerous other components just to see, but the nett effect was always the same. Then one day, the red alternator light appeared on the dashboard. I booked it in at the local 'Indy'.and told them all about it. Their reply was mo

I have included a photo of my XF 3.0 diesel that shows her to good effect in Vapour Grey. Once I've learned how to navigate this site, I'll add more photos, some of which will surprise even the most cynical critic. The included photograph records my Jaguar XF 3.0D doing 60 miles per gallon at motorway speeds. At the other end of the spectrum, she is absolutely manic! I've had the old gal off the springs when she's become airborne. Yet drive it with grace and she adopts an elegant poise and is

I could tell you a story I was privy to about Jaguar workers back in the BL days in the 1970's and apparently they used to leave items (adult mags, etc) within the seat or the behind the door card when it was assembled...it used to happen in the US as well so must be a 'thing' with assembly workers. However, one of the Queens' Jags was being repaired and they discover aforementioned magazines and luckily it didn't fall out when the Queen was present :-)

Thanks for your valuable comments guys. We have a friend at our MOT station I will get him to have a look. I will keep you updated.

I agree entirely. I recently disposed of a barely worn set of budget tyres already fitted, and replaced them with a brand new set of 245/40 x 19 Pirelli P Zeros. The difference was palpable and immediate. The XF was quieter, they made the car much more accurate and pleasant to drive, and even the fuel figures improved. If per chance you are running on lower grade tyres, I'd recommend changing them for Original Equipment ones as soon as is convenient. The purchase of a set of OE tyres might be a bit expensive, but its enabled me to increase the enjoyment of my trusty old steed, befitting a car of this class.

Hi Frankie. My first check would be tyre pressure. If they are slightly low anyway the extra load, without increasing the pressure may significantly increase the contact patch and thus noise. Also worth checking for abnormal wear and sidewall bubbles. Other possible things to check are wheel bearings, as if these are on the way out the extra load increases the deflection and, again, the contact patch. Also suspension rubbers and joints may be worn and causing the car to be riding on the bump stops. Regards John

There has been two occasions recently where I have carried passengers and luggage and the road noise has increased significantly. Its usually just myself and sometimes my wife so not used to increased load. Is this normal or should I be looking for a possible fault.

Jaguar XJ chrome hub caps, 10.5in, set of 4, appear unused. £100 plus postage. Set of four chrome hub caps believed to be for Jaguar or Daimler. Appear to have been stored and unused. Two are still in plastic bags. See pictures for condition. Three are in excellent condition and would clean up very well. One has slight pitting on the front. One has quite a bit of surface rust on the rear, another has some milder rust. But all are very useable. Sold as a set – will not split. Appears to be the same as fitted to XJ6/XJ12 and Sovereign, Series I and II - 1960s and 1970s models. Possibly also used on Daimler limousine and Jaguar MkX/420G. 10.5in diameter, each weighs approx 560g. Holes for fitting of Jaguar or Daimler badges (not included). Badge size would be approx 6.5cm diameter. Badge holes 47mm apart.
