Hello all,
I’m looking for the JTB of the 2 following issues :
- supercharger nose
- plastics/buttons becoming sticky
Anyone can help ?
Thanks

If by "supercharger nose" you mean "noise" then JTB00349 might be what you're after.
Can't help with the sticky buttons.

I don't know about the sticky buttons. But I found an old hairdryer I'd forgotten for years and the rubbery handle inserts had gone sticky. I used meths on a rag to rub it a few times which removed the stickiness. Seems OK so far. Maybe the same method would work on your buttons?

Lots of sticky button threads on the US forum.

There's a 'Sticky Controls Solution' topic on here viewtopic.php?t=6103 with a video on how to fix sticky car buttons....

Having an older model F now, the sticky buttons were really becoming an issue for me, detracting from the driving experience. I have tried various solutions (Isoprol, lemon juice, goo-off) with varying degrees of success.

I then came across this video

Similar problem on an XJ, and the solution worked as well if not easier than shown in the video. The wife did question why i was buying make-up remover but thats another story. Hope this helps.

Thanks all for your advices.
Regarding the compressor noise, does it only concern the V8 or early V6 too ?

[scm]

JTB00349 refers only to the V8.

The supercharger noise does concern the V6.

Here's the relevant documents that I have....
