Welcome to the forum FarmerJohn,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. That collection will keep you very busy.

I know you've already found your way to the S-Type forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information 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 US Midwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-midwest-39/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

You must have a nine seater S-Type?

Sounds like you could make one if you don't have a 9 seater.

Welcome! Would that be Chicken Farmer John?

Sorry I couldn't help myself. As a little kid, I would sprinkle grated "farmer john cheese" on my pizza.
