i would like to know as well.. anybody? thanks in advance.

 

After giving my car a coat of Autoglym HD wax, water comes pouring through the drivers window if I turn to the left whilst coming to a stop.

 

Oh the S-Type is TERRIBLE witch cracking a window open when its raining water falls straight down onto the drivers door switches and your leg.

Take care,

George

 

LOlz...thought I would share this website with all you folks who don't want to use Ethanol mixtures in their gas. http://www.pure-gas.org/
Enjoy!

 

Of course nothing in and around my area but then just over the border in PA I can fill up my racing tanks at a couple of stations if this list is accurate. That's great! Thanks so much.

 

I haven't had mine very long but as an avid do it yourself er, the 4 gallons of gas that you cant really use when the tank claims to be empty really BURNS MY A...

 

in the past i have had airbag fault warnings - flashing in the instrument binnacle - advising me that the safety of occupants may be compromised.

yes thats fair enough.

on occasion i have shut down the engine whilst still in drive - this generates a barely audible warning as a reminder to shift into park. handy warning and really not annoying.

on the way to work this morning i was having a very pleasant drive listening to my mp3 player via a cassette adaptor when suddenly there was a very loud and urgent beeping noise. OMG ! something has failed catastrophically. !!! i frantically looked over the dash expecting engine warning lights - but nothing.

my tape heads need cleaning

As you probably know the buffer is in there so the pumps are always covered in fuel for cooling. This is common with other cars. My old SHO came on way early too.
With 69.5 L (18.4 gallons) gallons I have only put in a maximum of 16.5 so far in my 2005 STR.

I smiled as I read this comment. Here! Here! well said.

 

Here!! Here!! I agree, well said!!

 

There is nowhere to put anything like drinks, phone, just stuff we all carry around and the glovebox is way too small. Also the dipstick thing for the trans, and The fact that this car will nickle and dime you to death.

 

Wow, George is missing but his thread lives on.

But since it is brought up... I just bought a C5 Corvette. It will self diagnose every module on the car and display the codes, both Current and History, on the DIC screen. With the Jag you need a scan tool that will only do emmision related faults. Anything else and you need the Jag specific scan tool. Around here that means a trip to the dealer and a hundred dollar bill.

BTW, the Vette is a 99 so not like the technology wasn't around in 03.

 

Hey Jim - congrat's on the Vette!!! The search is over huh....

Is it seriously called a "DIC screen"?? LOL....

 

Thanks Chris. It's the blue convertible I've been after all summer from the salvage auction. As luck would have it , found all the parts to fix from a local guy the week after I bought it. Paid too much for the car but got a super deal on the parts. Winter project. Hopefully next spring Laurie and I will be at Linden Hall with his & hers.

DIC...LOL Never thought of it that way. Means Driver Information Center.

Whoever had it must have been into electronics.
There are wires with connectors hanging out of the radio console and up by the rearview mirror. One looks like a modular telephone Jack and another like what plugs into my GPS or cell phone. Others I don't recognize. Jason would know what it's all for. I just want to get rid of the mess.

 

I hate the one aux power connector in the center console, so you have to move all of your crap around thats in the console just to plug in something. Then the wire for the device has to stretch halfway across the car, and then the fuse for the outlet blows every month because there is a stray coin in the center somewhere that happens to touch it.

Also don't like some of the cheap plastic components in the cabin, but they aren't that bad.

 

Any ideas why it does this or better yet how to stop it? My commute takes me past the landfill and it seems that the timing stinks as the recirc cuts off once we get into the smell-zone.

 

I saw a post from Brutal saying that if you pressed the button until it chirped it wouldn't switch off.

It didn't work for me. YMMV.

 

Awesome Jim - can't wait to check it out. If you got any pics - bring em to the show this weekend. I'll be running late to that BTW but I will make it.

 

The 2011 Lamborghini's and Ferrari's work the same way as the Jag. Special tools dealer only required. On a Ferrari you can't even bleed the brakes without the dealer tool.

Dealers need to eat.

 

I think it's a safety issue so that you always get fresh air in case there's a CO leak into the cabin. My Infiniti has the same exact thing. Annoying as I suffer from allergies.
