for 15 yrs ,after major HA, i have rode motorcycles and scoots(78--23)--no cars!!----few months ago bought MB and gave up the scoots(too many heart ops and hardware---29EJ). Beautiful car, but had oportunity to get this jag(2001 4.0 Stype with 19K miles), because the elderly lady died and hubby is blind.-----------IT is as new. I am 78yo and hope this will scatch my itch and i can stay away from scoots------------no guarantees!! Have a question.--what is difference between an S-type and and s-type R and an X type etc? are these reliable rides ?? thanks for letting me share a little of your world-----doug (kingfish)

 

Welcome to the forum Doug,

Wow that car is barely run in. The R is the supercharged version of the S type.
The X is a different model entirely more compact than the S and normally with AWD.

 

thanks for the welcome and info--------------doug

GUS----i donot know how to add this info to signature. I have put on 500 miles now and really like the car------I have a slight miss(stumble) problem that i have addressed in the S type area. I beleive i have a "thanks" on every post i do. If i have missed, i want to personally thank everyone on this forum for individual tech help of any kind and a general thank you to members for allowing an old novice to be a part of your forum and world. where is MY CAR?? THE car i bought is a 2001 4.0 S type with 19000 miles. i got it through tragic circumstances, but such is life. It is about as new as you can get. has 6 pak CD changer in trunk. Silver with brown and cream leather interior. has bridgestone "potenza" tires that i do not care for as they are noisy. the OM called for 26lbs in front and 28 in rear so i did that and it solved the noisy and road feedback problem.-(tires have 600 miles on them when i got car and they had put 40lbs in them. sounded like a truck! i have enclosed a poor pic(will get some good ones later. THANKS to all doug
