Default 2003 S type jag 4.2L

I have 2003 S type jag 4.2L it has an overheating problem what is the first thing to check. When I bought it I started it drove for about 15mins and let engine run for about 30mins with AC on high no overheating but as soon as I got about 10 miles it started to over heat and the dash said a temp reading was to high I have not touched anything yet I just got it towed home and I want to know what to check first. The owner thinks he seen a crack in the radiator but he's not very knowledgeable about cars and said the coolant tank had a crack. In addition the car has sat for a year with no start. Please help bought car for wife and love to drive this car in full action.

Welcome to the forum New2jagworld-Deon,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ed-v8-x200-15/ to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You should also add Location details (City,State) as Jaguar specifications vary across World markets and this will help get relevant replies.


Enjoy the forums.

Graham
