Default New S-Type owner here

Hello all,

So excited to see there is a community for Jaguar owners.

I just brought a 2000 S-Type 4.0 V8
Drives like a dream from 30MPH beyond.
A little rough under that. I know i have some work ahaed of me but the joy and satisfaction of getting it done and getting it on the road is key for me.

I look forward to being in the forum.

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

If you haven’t already you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for. To do this go to, User CP, Edit Signature, Add Vehicle Details and such and Save Your Signature.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

Also, should you have questions related to your vehicle please post it in the section for your model year (MY) car. This way you will reach all the members that are familiar with your MY car.

HI welcome to the Forum
nice to see more S type owner on the forum.
As is read you have problem and like to tinkle with your car.
It would reach a better group of people if you posted directly under the S type Sub forum.

There will be a lot of people who can give suggestion to help solve your problem.

good luck

Welcome S type owner! Have had my 03 s type for about 16 months and love it. Best car I ever owned/drove. Get tons of stares and comments. Love to see some pics of yours when you have some time. This forum is fantastic! Has informed and educated me on so many topics about owning Jaguars! Welcome again.
