Default New Member Here... Thanks for havin' me!!!

Hi, Everyone!

I came across this site awhile ago and started doing some random reading of all the info this site shares... So, even long before I joined the site (Today!), I've been quite impressed with how friendly, helpful, and respectful everyone on Jaguar Forums seems to be!! I'm truly glad to be a part of this site and hope I can make my fair share of positive contributions to it!
My main goal is to help keep the "WifeysJag" on the road and in good condition! Given that it's a 2004 S-Type 3.0 V-6, I'll probably be looking to change the IMT O-rings really soon...
In any case, I truly hope that I can eventually give more to the site than I receive from it... It's GRRREAT to be here, and I can't wait to start posting!!
Take care, everyone.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Norri!!
I'm going to start searching for info on the IMT O-rings for my S-Type 3.0... I might consider doing the "long route" (if I can find a post on it here) with the intake Manifold off to change spark plugs, etc., etc. while I'm there. If anyone else reads this, feel free to direct me in any way that will be helpful!!

The O ring exchange on my X-Type was a piece of cake...the spark plugs, not so much. I think I broke a fingernail, lol. Im not sure about the S. Post in the S-Type section and someone there will be able to help with your issue.

Enjoy!

Welcome Paul,

Hope you get to drive the S-Type sometimes. No fun just being the maintenance slave.

Thanks, Jayt2! I'll be sure to check out all that this awesome site has to offer! And, you ain't kiddin' about the wife! HA! BTW, I used to live in Southern California... Anywhere from San Diego, all the way up to your neck of the woods in Ontario, CA... Be sure to take care of the "Golden State" 'til I can make it back there - Maybe even in the "WifeysJag"... Hehe. Take care!
