Hi all,
I am a fan of cars with a british origin.
First one i bought in UK was a Bentley Turbo R 1988
Second one was a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II
a Jaguar XJ 1982
a Rover P6 1976
a Range Rover 4.0 SE 2000
And lately a Jaguar S-type 2.7 D.
With all cars i had my challenges
. Mainly electronics.
In the Range Rover i am still fighting all the glitches of the EAS (air suspension).
In the S-type it is the EPB I can't control up till now (see my other thread on this)
But i must say... I bought the car in an auction. I was looking for a car for daily work and many kilometers. I was really surprised with this Jag. It is a wonderful drive.
I already done some work on the Jag. Switched the EPB motor (which was actually quite easy, took me an hour. But you do need a ramp), blocked the EGR's, changed rear disks and usual maintenance.
So, i am looking forward to share what i know to help you and hope that you can share what you know to help me.
Regards, Aldert

Welcome.
Well done.
That air suspension is a marvel of nonsense, and I doubt any have really sorted it.
Good luck.
