Hey guys, have just bought my first Jag. 2003 S type R. 210k in ok shape, needs a couple things. Service history is basically missing up to 140k, brake are new from 150k.

DS window regulator not working, small coolant leak near the DS radiator end tank - any ideas?

Airbag light is on, with passenger in the seat it blinks.

Feels a little floaty, so I am guessing needs shocks.

Rear spoiler is broken, so need one of those.

Is there a modern touch screen upgrade available?

I am aware of the myriad of issues with the transmission, but at this mileage I have to assume the fluid has been changed? Transmission shifts ok I think.

Same with the timing chains, zero noise from them, is it possible they are original?

Familiar with the headlight breakage on the S type, is there a way to prevent?

Also familiar with the console breakage - way to prevent?

Sunvisor fabric is a little loose - what's the best practice on those?

 

Welcome to the Forums.

The S Type (X200) members will have suggestions/fixes for all that.

Good luck.

 

From one Virginian to another: WELCOME!!!

Welcome to the forums Extinct,

If it's lacking documented service history then I would tend to think it's likely a transmission fluid change has not been done.
