Default Greetings From Humble Texas

Hello to the Forum. Just received my first Jag S-Type today, bought based off of prictures. Boy was this a mistake. I'm turning to the community to aid me in the troubleshooting of this S-Type right off the freight hauler. Gearbox Fault and overheating. Yes - you guessed it, no warranty expressed or implied. Ouch!

Already, I have found some great write-ups on thermostats, waterpumps and batteries (battery was dead upon vehicle arrival). Good to know batteries are a major culprate to computer issues. That will be my first purchase for sure, then a thermostat. I'm a huge "do it yourselfer" with great success on my american cars as well as my German roadster.

Welcome. I am a new member also but I can tell you this is a great bunch of guys here. Check the FAQ's like I have and enjoy the data.

PS Gonna have to get back down there and have some of the BEST chicken fried steak in the world. I can't remember the name of the place but it is on the corner of FM 249 & FM 1960 if I remember right. Please tell me they are still open.

This isn't really the right section to get tech questions answered. Head over to the general tech forum or the s type forum. Lots of techs and other smart jag owners here!
