Hello. Perhaps someone's been down path and can provide practical advice. My problem is that I am unable to separate the AC line coming out of the evaporator from the AC line coming out of the compressor. I've removed that "saddle" spring clip and expected that after some grunting I could pull...

Hello. Thanks much. Aftermarket just fine. Rockauto cites "XW" OEM Part numbers whereas I have "XR" numbers; and, of course, descriptions match merely on "heater hose". Ha ! Best regards, Richard Cielec Greater Chicago Metro, U.S.A.

Ahoy ! Happy New Year, Everyone ! I'm having another brain cramp. I cannot find a LS - Jaguar S-Type parts number cross reference table. Was it in this forum ? I searched this Forum but, no luck. For the 2002 V-8 (S-Type 4.0L/LS 3.9L Naturally Aspirated) I am needing the four molded hoses...

Hello. Thank you. I am trying to find procedure for adjusting the cable that attaches to the shift lever @ J-gate. I also understand that a plastic piece there is prone to cracking breakage. What is "DTR" ? I do not know that acronym. Regards.

Ahoy ! I recently purchased a 2002 Jaguar S-Type and I am told it is fitted with the 5R55N transmission. May I ask, please, for assistance in solving a problem ? (Please note: I am a hobbyist mechanic, lay on my back in the driveway under the car on ramps - so, I'll be needing to find a shop in...

Ahoy ! New member here. I've recently purchased a Jaguar S-type and am needing advice to sort out some problems on components in-common with the LS and, to become smarter on the commonality. Frankly, I am thinking that LS, Thunderbird and Ford people are more gear-heads and hands-on folks than...
