20 Most Recent 2008 Jaguar S Type - Page 6 Questions & Answers

I would consult the owner's manual or an online forum for Jaguar. Synthetic oil can be used in any engine that regular oil is used in. The weight of the oil should be specified in the owner's manual and probably also on a decal beneath the hood, maybe on the air cleaner. I am not familiar with Jaguars so don't know what they specify. Most modern cars use 5-X muti-vis oil; It is supposed to act like 5 W oil on starts to make it easier to start and to get oil circulating to the top of the engine where it has dripped down since the engine was last run. The X would be the supposed viscosity once the engine is running. You can always use a heavier oil and it will provide better protection of internal parts, particularly at the top of the engine on cold starts but you generally sacrifice a little fuel mileage.

are you saying the front door does'nt lock with the central locking ? if so then the cental locking is usually controlled by the drivers door lock that sends signal to the othe door locks so depending which front door it is that will be the place to start , at least you know the alarm works

not sure from your description what the actual problem is ?

I have no idea on that particular car. But most of the time you have to cut them off with a blade. They do not just unbolt (they are Welded in place). If you are unsure about this, then take it to a muffler shop.

What? are you still stuck over there? The reason is because you don't insert your key properly, plus the steering unlocks and seats move because of accessories mode, if you want to move out of park, it must be ignition on.

Start with a good battery and all electrical things working, open boot open all doors and with a screwdriver flick the locks shut but don't alarm the car connect + terminal and put a / no its getting to big you have to know how to use a multimeter can you do that ?

check and adjust the switch on the hand brake lever.

get the battery capacity checked at a auto electrician garage, if it is OK you need to replace the starter motor

What does it control?

stop by closest auto parts store and have them check it.

The first thing to do is to have the fault codes read. If you comment with the codes found we may be able to point you in the right direction as to how to fix. Do this first before you spend heaps on all the wrong things.

Remove battery cable for 5 minutes to reset.
