Smile Jag S Type 3.0 2001 driving me nuts

Greetings and salutations to all and sundry from a newbie in Dallas Texas (America that is).

Just to say that I have a love hate relationship with this car that makes me want to keep it and to blow it up at the same time.

Did my apprenticeship with Jag/Daimler in late 60's in Crawley, Sussex and it seems they have changed somewhat. This became evident when I first got it and started looking for the carburetor so I could tune it with my Gunsons colourtune!

I look forward to finding answers to my 12 month unsolved problem (post soon to follow).

It's good to be a member here and maybe I can help as well as get help.

regards to all.

Welcome to the forum John,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. Gunsons ColourTune - you have been away for a while. I'll bet you still have your distributor points file too!

Follow this link S-Type / S type R Supercharged V8 - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info 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 can also visit the USA Southwest Region forum by following this link USA Southwest - AZ TX NM OK - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Good to welcome another Brit Expat to the forum John. I have been over here in the USA for 30 plus years and have just got back from a trip to Sussex where I was amazed at seeing so many traffic cameras.

Welcome.

Colourtunes, DAMN, I reckon I got some of them in the shed. Maybe I need a Jag to use them on HAHA. Another V12 perhaps.
