Hi all,
I bought a 2004 3.0 v6 S-Type a few months ago and been fixing it up since.
Stuff done:

• EPB gearing refurbed (pretty chuffed with this one, no cost, done it myself :-))
• New front disks and pads
• New rear control arms
• Ball joint boots rear stabilser links (outer and inner)
• Plates welding on flat part of rear sills
• Fixed fuel cap cover mechanisim
• Fixed bluetacted in driver mirror (seriously...)
• Rear blubs
• Fitted leep oranament (offical one with spring and plastic
• Replaced drivers headlight
• Refurbed key to get lock/unlock working again
• Rear passenger shock bush replaced

Still to fix:

• MIL - P0171 and P0174 - Just seemed to pop up recently?

So nearly there... in for MOT today... fingers crossed.

Welcome to the Forums.

The Jag and you have had serious interment moments there.

Well done on that list.

Good luck on that MOT.

 

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the forums vergil3000,

Good to have you with us.

That's an impressive "to do" list already completed and I can see you've already found your way to the S-Type forum with the code question so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

With an imminent MoT you'll need to resolve the MIL. The possible causes for P0171 and P0174 are:
Engine misfire
Air intake leak between MAF Sensor and cylinder head
Fuel filter / system restriction
Fuel injector restriction
IP Sensor fault (low fuel pressure)
Low fuel pump output
HO2 Sensor(s) (1/1, 1/2) harness wiring condition fault
EFT Sensor fault (low fuel temperature)
MAF Sensor fault (low intake air flow)
Exhaust leak (before catalyst)
ECM receiving incorrect signal from one or more of the following components: ECT Sensor, MAF Sensor, IAT Sensor, IP Sensor, EFT Sensor, TP Sensor

Hello, Vergil,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar, And, on all your successful repairs to this point.
I'm not the least surprised that a 15 year old car would need some TLC soon as it came under your roof.
All the better for the two of you to get acquainted though.
