Re: Have jaguar s type 2002 52000miles on clock well...
Maybe get your local garage to use their scanner and read the fault codes. Then progress from there as the fault will become clear. But from experience the s-type often suffers from oxygen sensor problems

Check Engine or Malfunction indicator light (MIL)
The Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light or an icon resembling the engine is called, in technical terms, the Malfunction Indicator Light or MIL.
The MIL light comes on when your vehicle's computer detects a fault
that can affect your vehicle's fuel economy and emissions. There is no
button to reset the Check Engine light, but if the fault that caused it
doesn't happen again, the light will turn off by itself.
If the MIL light stays on, have the problem checked out,
because in some cases, the problem could get worse if not repaired in
time. Think of the Check Engine light as an early warning sign.
To check why your MIL light came on, your dealer or mechanic
will have to diagnose your car with a special scan tool.
You need to take to Jaguar technician to have Mil lamp codes read and cured the restricted performance is the engine protecting itself as there is a fault in the management system,usually fuel system related,It has gone into "Limp Home" mode to try to limit the damage done untill the fault is cured
Please buy trans-x from autozone or which ever parts store and put in transmission. I had the same problem, used trans-x and its been three years...goodluck
Hi your car is finding a fault at 40 mph and not storing the code when you cycle the ignition because its not there any more,if the Mil lamp comes on you need to get it to a garage to plug in while the ignition is still on,with a 2005 Jaguar you need dedicated software to interogate it properly and diagnose whats wrong.the most common problem is a boost pressure deviation

1 More info needed for disc fault = what are you trying to do to make this disc message appear?
2 The car picture is the dsc switched off - but this message should disappear if the ignition is turned off and on again as the dsc is on by default. If this dsc message keeps reappearing then you may have a fault in braking or sensors that is triggering this message - get it investigated.
On a 2000 s-type 4.0 There is a combination drain plus check valve on the bottom of the Pan and a fill hole on the back right side. Use WD-40 to help free up the allen-screw in the middle of the drain plug. Hold the drain screw while opening the level checking screw. If it is full, a small amount may run out. If light red fluid runs out it's OK. If brown, You got a problem. It uses special fluid! Take it to have it done in a Jaguar service facility. Or educate yourself on how to do it.
