#990 of 1027 '93 XJS Brakes squeal by xjsguy Oct 20, 2008 (8:20 am)
I had the brakes done on my XJS by a very reputable local shop and, after I got the car back, the brakes squealed. I took the car back and they checked everything and could find nothing. They sprayed the brakes with a compund which stopped the squear for a couple of day and, it came back. They replaced the pads with non-metallic ceramic pads and the squeal came back. They are contacting the mfgr(probably Raybestos) to ask about this. The brakes function properly other than making this noise.   The shop is one I've gone to for years and, they are honest and treat me and others decently.   When I depress the brake pedal softly, the squeal begins and is there for a second or so after I take my foot off of the pedal. If I press hard on the pedal, they do not squeal.   Has anyone experienced this in their XJS? If so, can you tell me what either corrected it or what you think? thank you.

#991 of 1027 Fuses, or Computer? by neotab Oct 21, 2008 (6:50 pm)
Shortly after buying my 2004 Jag S-type with 40,000 mi. about 8 months ago, I realized that three things don't work. No back-up warning system (beepers), the side mirrors do not rotate flat against the car for tight parking situations, and after about 10 minutes of driving (usually at low speeds, 30-40 mph) the amber warning light comes on, saying that cruise control is unavailable (even though I don't try to use it, and never have). Mechanic says it's not fuses and says a Jag dealer must replace a computer. Everything else is great. Any ideas before I take it to a dealer?

#993 of 1027 2003 S -Type by Mesmerizing_k Jan 16, 2009 (12:31 pm)
I have no sound coming from the radio, CD or Nav System yet they are all on - The radio was working fine then nothing - I cannot seem to get the sound back even after depressing the mute button on the steering wheel. I also need the plastic trim piece above the front side glass on the passenger door any locations other than the dealer? Replies to this message: xjsguy (Jan 16, 2009 12:56 pm)

Replying to: Mesmerizing_k (Jan 16, 2009 12:31 pm) My 93 XJS will do that at times. It has to do with a connection problem. I don't know the diagrams for your Jag butt, I have found that, if the panel under the steering column is not clipped on, this will happen.
#995 of 1027 2000 S Type 45K Miles by stevenb226 Feb 07, 2009 (8:07 pm)
Well after reading many of the postings, I may be asking a question I know the answer to...I've been looking for a stylish sedan to replace my 740 BMW with 180K, while the BMW has been far from perfect, it's been a great ride, now too big, while my logical side says get a Lexus, this like new 2000 S looks sexy...but hey I'm looking for fewer repair bills not more...thoughts.   Steve Replies to this message: alorasdad (Feb 08, 2009 8:15 am) ron6962 (Feb 08, 2009 8:59 am) oldcem (Feb 08, 2009 8:36 pm) soyelisabeth (Feb 08, 2009 8:56 am)

Replying to: stevenb226 (Feb 07, 2009 8:07 pm) Steve, I've had my 2000 S since 2005. It had 49000 on it when I bought it, has 110000 now. I've had to replace the condenser coil, $4k, had some leaks to deal with and now I'm getting a "Transmission Issue" on the message lights. With a sealed trannie, I can't even get it serviced - my only option would be replacement. My 1999 Forester with 210,000 miles has had fewer maintenance issues. Given the option, while the Jag was a dream car for me, I'd drive something else. Replies to this message: ron6962 (Feb 08, 2009 8:59 am) oldcem (Feb 08, 2009 8:36 pm)

Replying to: stevenb226 (Feb 07, 2009 8:07 pm) I considered a 2001 S-Type in October with 60,000 miles. After having it looked at and discovering it needed $1,700 worth of repairs, immediately, I'd decided to do what you are now doing, before making a final decision. needless to say, I did not buy my dream car. If this would not be your primary vehicle and you have unlimited income, in these trying times.......... then go after your sexy car.

Replying to: alorasdad (Feb 08, 2009 8:15 am) I agree with previous reply. I bought a 2002 SType new. While still under warranty, I had several leak issues from the rear differential. They finally replaced the entire rear end to resolve the problem. Then, the year after my warranty expired, at 75000 miles, I had to replace all 8 of the injector ignition coils at a cost of $2000, and a couple months later the transmission went out which cost another $5000. I now have 97000 miles on it and so far, so good. A piece of advice I wish I had followed.....buy an extended repair policy if you can get one. The car is the nicest looking and riding car I have ever owned (still looks and drives like new) but the repair costs are a killer. Replies to this message: oldcem (Feb 08, 2009 8:36 pm)
