new Hi all
Hi all just got my first jaguar a s-type 3l v6 1999 yes its old 
needs a new sill (body kit hides the problem) and head gasket fitting (water temp goes up v-fast), and yes there is water in the boot. But i think it will be fine. coming from a 97 tdi ford galaxy that has run the kids around for the last 12 years, hope the jag will give me the mid life boost i need. Sill will be done this week (just got a mig welder), but i am a bit upset at the cost of a gasket set £300 in the uk, and new head bolts have to be fitted at the same time £7 each x16. Any way i will post some pics as i do the work maybe would help somone out.
ps...
My kids love the s type, james(10) is looking forward to see if it is faster than the galaxy (70bhp standard 190bhp with all mods 1/4 mile 12.02 sec top speed 145 mph)
