Default Welcome to Jaguar Forums

Welcome 03JAG-STR ... and greetings from fellow enthusiasts in Australia.

I also encourage you, as per Norrie's posted links, to jump over to the S-Type/STR model specific section where there is plenty to read and absorb ... also, to visit the regional section shared by other members in your area ... and finally, to add your car details to your signature as a permanent flag to enable other members to offer accurate advice ... from Main Menu, click <User CP> then <Edit Signature>.

What a great scrapyard find! You will be delighted to learn that your windows are probably an easy fix ... and a task you will repeat any time you isolate or remove the battery. Plenty on this topic in the S-Type section. You will also be prompted to check other (especially global) functions that "forget" their memory settings when you remove battery power.

All that remains is to dive into the forum ... and enjoy!

Best wishes,
Ken
