Default Greetings from Mississippi, USA

Hello people,

Bought a used 2000 Jaguar S-Type 3.0 base model with the sports package a couple of months ago - my first car!

I never planned to buy a Jag in the first place, I was thinking of getting a boring old Toyota/Honda/Hyundai - something 'reliable' in short. But a colleague of mine was looking to offload his used car and since I was in the market for one it seemed like a good choice. After taking it for a spin I knew we were made for each other!

I use it mainly for daily commutes and grocery runs. There are some suspension problems - I keep hearing clunking noises while driving - which keeps me from taking it on long drives. Hoping to get it fixed once I get some moolah in hand .

Looking forward to learning more about my darling from all the advise/suggestions/tips/ etc. that have already been posted here.

Hello,
I have one of those Adequate Vehicles (Hyundai) as a rainy day car, and I can tell you, the Worst Jag on the planet is better than the best one of those! Good Choice!!

We have a very active S-type section where you can find help to fix Anything on that car! Someone will be along shortly to direct you there.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Welcome.

Those "clunks" will be the front sway bar mounting bushes, NOT expensive to buy, fair MONGREL to fit, especially the RH one. Common issue with the X200 cars.
