Cee Jay,

No.

 

Arrogant.

 

Holee? Really.

 

Are you having a conversation with yourself Bill?

Also weren't you aware that American's do sarcasm extremely badly, we Brits have had longer to perfect the art, plus can do it with a kewl 'accent'

 

Good for you.

 

I guess a LOT more people than I originally thought don't know how to do basic things. Very basic things. Like probably breathe without instructions.
That's really sad.

 

Actually very true, it’s sad indeed.
My wife didn’t know there were wires in the walls to get electricity to the outlets.
I spent my youth taking things apart, so yeah, I’d take the switch apart to try to fix it. Some folks won’t. Kind of like the folks that won’t eat leftovers, its always got to be new.

 

I am letting you know you are not wrong

 

Jeepers, CJ - are you having a bad day buddy? Twice today already I've seen you pick up on a comment as though it was directed at you personally. Bill wasn't contradicting your advice that it is possible to take stuff apart even when you are not 'supposed to'. I too do that often. Sometimes I end up breaking the part, but I am still no worse off. Sometimes I manage to fix the part, and end up better off.

Bill was just saying a variation of 'there are no stupid questions' and commenting that the OP asked a reasonable question and received some useful responses, in contrast to some responses which were merely sarcasm disguised as help. Nothing directed at you at all as far as I can see.

@Bill Mack - correct me if I am wrong

 

Barnsie, you are quite right. I will try in future to "assume goodwill" when I read posts.

 

*sigh*

 

Good Morning Everyone,

Oh dear I seem to have caused a bit of an upset here - sorry all ! I've now discovered that whilst my original 'Dynamic' button was faulty the one on the replacement unit works fine - provided I keep the button pressed momentarily. Having looked at the original Drivers Handbook (2010 model) the only section that refers to holding the button for a short while is the DSC button - no mention in the Dynamic, ASL or Winter mode sections - it may be that Jaguar Cars
changed the text in later books. Thank you everyone for your input and suggestions - this Forum is invaluable in so many ways (what on earth did we do before the internet - aside from getting ripped off by ***********s ?)

Take care everyone - let's all hope that 2021 will see a gradual return to normality !!

 

CaptainQ, you did nothing but ask a fair question. I was the one that led the thread into dark territory by commenting on how some responses were phrased. In hindsight, not the best thing to do. Must constantly remind myself that the only attitude I can change is my own.

Cheers.

 

Lol Thanks Bill

 

Actually what would be great for this thread and if you have the time/ skillset, please try disassembling the button and show some pics along the way. As others have mentioned, there's value in repairing vs replacing so if you're up to. it, I'd like to see pics of dismantling the switch and reassembly. Doesn't matter if it fails...
