Default New 2005 S-type 4.2 R member

From The Netherlands.
My 2005 S-type 4.2 R has both a super charger pulley upgrade, as well as the larger crankshaft pulley.
It's a great daily driving car but also dramatically unreliable.
Struggling with tons of electronic problems, but trying to keep it rolling.
Searching for help with a long lasting fuel pressure problem.

Hello,
dramatically unreliable
This phrase well describes the Public's perception of Jaguars throughout their history. I'm sorry you got a throwback to those bad old days. I do hope you can get all that resolved.

Nice looking car! Did you put lower springs on it?

As for electrical problems most of the problems Ive faced were due to corrosion on connector contacts so it you drive in the rain without the various wheel well liners and splash guards and belly pan, you will get that too. My car was missing the plastic radiator cover , the lower belly pan, drivers side wheel well liner and the two trim pieces in the lower grill by the oil coolers so lots of places for water to get in and corrode. Heres my front harness connector that I had to replace
