I hope it works out for you, Jim.

Perhaps Jaguar NA mean the new TSB S307-17 ? If this is not what they mean I'd love to know what exactly the update is.

I've been complaining bitterly about this for 2.5 years and was told in November 2002 by the Service & Training Manager for JAGUAR Land Rover Schweiz AG :

"Jaguar Cars Ltd will soon give us a solution to this, may we ask you to be patient for a while until we will be in possession of this software updating programme?" - NOVEMBER 2002 !!!!!!!

So ... even more software ?!?! I've been waiting for 2.5 years and NEVER had ANYONE at ANY level in Jaguar take notice of me. Excuse me if I sound a little cynical about it all.

In addition, I have also been informed by a German S-Type R driver :

"Das Getriebeproblem hatte meiner auch, ist aber behoben.Das geht aber nicht durch ein Softwareupdate, sondern nur durch eine kompl.Neuprogrammierung des Getriebes durch Mitarbeiter von ZF.Das ist in meiner Werkstatt bei mehreren Fahrzeugen am selben Tag gemacht worden. In dieser Sache war meine Werkstatt wirklich gut. Aber warum mein Auto zu wenig Leistung hat wurde bisher leider
noch nicht gefunden. "

Which roughly translated means :

I had the same transmission problem, which is now gone. This was achieved not through a Software Upgrade, but rather through a complete re-programming of the transmission by a ZF mechanic. There were other cars at my Dealer that were re-programmed on the same day. But, I still haven't found out why my car is down on power.

Full thread in German can be found on :

http://www.jaguar-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=38519

We can't all be imagining things ..... A German Dealership organising a visit from a ZF engineer to reprogram multiple cars.

So - ZF know about. And the German Dealer. And Jaguar NJ. But my Dealer says they can find no fault with my ZF Gearbox and know nothing about it !!!

I'm SICK of this whole thing ... and F$%$Ing DISGUSTED by how Jaguar have stonewalled me. There are far too many people with this fault for them to continue fobbing me off.
