Default New-ish from Kentucky

I joined a while ago and just haven’t got around to posting anything. I appreciate all the knowledge sharing on here and hope to help out as well if I can.

When I got my 2003 Jaguar S-Type 3.0L at the beginning of 2022, it was in restricted mode, getting a whopping 12mpg avg and was basically held together with gum and duct tape. 😂 The guy estimated it wouldn’t last the year, but after blood, sweat and patience, it’s goin strong.

Welcome to the forums wilder,
Good for you.

If you haven't used it already, follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ed-v8-x200-15/ to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Southern Midwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...rn-midwest-67/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
