Default Hello to all.

I am the new owner of a 2000 S-type Jaguar 4.0. I have owned it for about a week and It currenty sits in the driveway awaiting a new (APP) sensor. Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor.
3 days after purchasing the car I recieved a amber Failsafe engine mode, Not yet educated on jaguar I was let down. Upon some research and determination I pulled the p-codes and and discovered the fault. Somewhat relieved I call the dealership for the part and it's $475 for a brand new one. It should be here thursday and I will start over trying to enjoy my Jag!

Glad to be here!

If I were you, I'd take it back to the dealer and have THEM pay for the fix.

Enjoy your Jag!!

Let me be the first to welcome you to our humble forums, where we embrace our amber lights and dream about P-codes. The forum has alot to offer - more than just technical questions and answers boards Enjoy the lighter side as well...we call that the off-topic section, where anything goes (almost anything...moderator hat on)

BTW, what color did you get? I know we all would like to see a pic.

Here are 2 pictures I just went to take. Once the weather is nice here she will get a full detail. I have yet to look and see what the actual color of the vehicle is listed as. Almost like a sapphire blue.
