Hi there, back to owning a fat cat again, I used to drive a 4.2 pillerless coupe many many years ago. Have owned many interesting vehicles since, I was looking for an x-type station wagon and fell across a s-type for $850, it ran, the front plastic collector hose has split ? headgasket failure. Ther tieerod is also out, ther than that I cannot fault the car. I pick it up tomorrow and thougfht I would look around for some support, this so far has been the most comprehensive site I have come across, so here I am. i am a mechanic/nurse/Personal Trainer and a Farmer. The farm is being sold and I'm not going to be driving around in a truck anymore. I'm also moving back to Toronto so I really don't need a SUV with 4WD unless that x-type shows up. In the mean time I'm going to play with the s-type and enjoy driving around in a bit more luxury than my sierra truck.

 

Welcome to the forum,

Great Intro.

The 2 Door Pillarless Coupe was a beautiful car. Unfortunately beyond my means at the time and I had to suffer the four door saloons.

You have a few challenges with the S-Type. Follow this link S-Type / S type R Supercharged V8 - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum for help and advice.
