first time on this site just got a jag stype a few months ago thought id join the site my 2 complaints are 1) i dont know about you guys but i dont have an unlock button in my car and being the guy i bought the car off lost the key fob when i get in the car and i have a passenger i have to lean over and manually unlock the passenger door and 2) you need to consult a high priest if you ever want to change your tranny fluid that or become a hedge fund manager to supply the capitol to have the dealer do it
Trans oil is now much cheaper even if you have the ZF. It's always been cheap for the Ford box (I think). Not big cost to have either changed if you can't DIY.

This really funny... So @aholbro1 has an 05 like I had... Yet mine displayed "Boot Open" for the trunk and "Bonnet Open" for the hood...I remember showing many people as I thought it funny that my car "spoke with a British accent"....

Of course my car may just be a bit different as it does stop for tea and scones with clotted cream in the afternoons ...
Not that I mind that. Yummy!

All versions of the car have a door unlock button on the centre console, bottom row of buttons.

The defroster panel is still available??
Direct JPLV Porsche Parts.com
It s $250!!!!
This should be easy to get used but most of them are broken because the guys don't understand how to remove it properly!! Be sure and remove the two A-pillar covers first before attempting to remove the defrost grill. The covers have tabs that insert into ends of the defrost panel. Also the same panel is used from 2003-2008.

Jim's been having too much fun lately! Met up with him last weekend for the local British Car Show. Lori makes some mean anti-pasta salad!
He might be messing with a C*rvette....(shhhhh)....
Don't fret Rick, his S Type was spotless at the show, it's getting plenty of attention.

The lurch should be fixed by the reflash (and almost always seems to be). It didn't affect all cars / drivers and took time to appear which is presumably how it was missed in testing. You probably know it affected BMWs, Audis etc too.
(*) dealer tool or it may be that the kind of instructions will work which I think are in the X-Type forum (bit vague, sorry, but my recollection of where I saw them is that way as I just wasn't interested)
