Thanks for the tip. I will pin your comment

Lol. I quite liked it. Down to everyone's taste I suppose

Thanks for commenting

Thanks for the comment! The people who rebuilt mine assured me that the coating is not a problem and that any boost lost is very minimal

Good tip. Thanks for watching

My replacement mirror was green on silver car so I bought some carbon fibre covers off the internet, looks great. Followed these instructions exactly but used two hands! 😂

@@BrianHartnett-e9b Lol, two hand definately helps

Thanks for the comment johny

Doing well so far. Just wondering what the next breakdown is going to be lol. Seems to be every 1000 miles

They are 155/80r14

Ots very easy to get an air lock in these cars. Might be worth rebleeding the air out of the system

Thanks for watching

Thanks for your comment Dave. My heater valve is seized so there is no flow there but I think when I fix it, that's a good idea to relocate it there. Sorry to hear about your accident

Wow I'd never thought of this! Huge top tip I'll definitely be doing. Thank you

It is amazing what a difference an inch makes lol

So they say!! 😂😂😂

Yeah, thats common on most cars to be honest. A good, careful tap with a hide hammer does wonders for a stuck steering wheel

Thanks 👍

This is the stuff Jaguar sent. Thanks for the tip. I'll use that next time

Good question Dale. It's because there was still steam in the exhaust from the left over coolant. Don't worry, it cleared after a good blat.

@@MarksWheels right. I'll give it ago

Thanks for your comment

I suppose in theory this would work but you would still need to top the fluid up as it takes alot more fluid that just what the pan holds.

I haven't used one and don't have any problems. It might be different with a dynamo but im not sure.

Hi, Good question. The seat belts don't feel uncomfortable but that may be because of the mx5 seats I currently have fitted. The belt sits quite high on them when in use. The stalks are perfect

Thanks for the comment. I'm just trying to make a thorough test. I'm very happy with the product and use it often.

Thanks for the tip

Hi, I changed all the solenoids as it is such a big job, why not do them all while you are there? If you have a leak, depending on where it is coming from, you could need to refill and bleed the system a few times.

Yes it really was. Unfortunately not one of mine but maybe one day ;)

Thanks for commenting

Thank you

My workshop is in Eastbourne BN24

My sympathies lol. Best ask your local factor and they can look up the correct oil from your registration number

Possibly but they look a bit too worn out to be honest. They all have a ring around the nozzle that isn't on the new ones.

No sounds about right. Most of the fluid stays in the pipework, gearbox cooler etc so although the system takes 8 -10 litres, th sump only holds about half that

Ok, cheers for that! I later realised that the car is maybe not 100% level on its 4 jack stands and possibly leaning a little towards the filling hole side. Later or tomorrow I'll take it down one click on the opposite side to level it better and finish the job (an absolute pain without a car lift). I should have no problems getting the transmission to 30-40 degrees, seeing as it will be 34 tomorrow 😬. Thanks for replying!

@@paulopinheiro7550 No problem

@@MarksWheels Sorry for the delay in coming back. Finished the job! It still took another 2 full bottles before it started dripping out. Got a little worried at some point because, with the car up in stands, there was a clunk when putting it into D... This was much less noticeable after it was on the ground and I can no longer notice it after driving a few 100s of kms. Hit the 200.000 km mark yesterday 🙂 Buttery smooth gear changes, can almost not tell when it does it (not that in changed poorly before, but I bought it with no history about 9 month ago, so this was long overdue. But it's definitely a little better). Now, onto the next issues...: a whine from the rear when the engine is neither pulling the car nor being pulled by it (sort of when the throttle is just keeping up with the car's speed... differential?) and a nasty kinda rumbling + tapping sound from the engine; suspect an exhaust leak at a flexi or thereabouts. Hopefully not something internal; it appears much worse when driving (so, under load) than when just revving in P, so I'm tending to rule out lifters. Thanks again for your input, I'll be sure to nag more about Jag issues 😁!

@@paulopinheiro7550 Engine noise sounds like it could be an exhaust leak. There are a couple of flexi joints before the cat. You can get repair sections for them. The whine probably is the rear differential. Have you changed the oil on it yet?

No idea to be honest. Probably best to contect the manufacturer

As far as I am aware, the x, s and xj systems are almost identical apart from the unit itself which varies in a couple of buttons. The info you found for x, s type should also apply

No, you just need enough space to get the steel seal in there. I had to drain a little bit out first

Not sure. Doesn't say anything about that on the bottle but would make sense

If it's very small, I wouldn't worry. It's when they start leaking oil onto the exhaust manifold or down the spark plug bores that can make it problem

​@@MarksWheels Thanks mate. 👍

Take the negative terminal off the battery and touch it to the positive terminal for a few minutes. This completes the circuit and allows the ECU memory to clear.

@@MarksWheels Okay i did that too, it resets some data but i think the Adaption Values from the gearbox have to be resettet via software because they are saved in non-volatile memory. I serviced the gearbox of my STR few weeks ago and didn't resettet the adaptions too (only the battery procedure you mentioned) and the gearbox works fine, so its probably not necessary. But correctly resetting it is maybe beneficial in the long run for what i heard in jaguar forums. Maybe thats not true, idk im no expert, but you have great indie jaguar specialist in UK, maybe you can ask them of their opinion and if they do a proper reset for a few bucks :) I dont have this possibility in germany, no much jag specialists in my area :(

Yeah I wasn't expecting that either lol

Glad I could help

Have you checked the CD changer is not in the boot? Never seen one without it. Definitely don't expect it from a Vanden Plas
