Welcome and greetings from down under.

Suggest you navigate to User CP on the main menu bar, click on Edit Signature and enter year, model, engine of your beastie as in your intro post - that way, it's in all future posts to ensure advice given is relevant and accurate. Pics of your Jag are always welcome - you can add these via Manage Attachments in the area below the box for your typed posts. Finally, if the mood takes you, fly back to User CP and Edit Avatar to include a mini-pic or logo next to your member name in each post - just like the many you will see included by other members.

Finally, if you haven't found it yet, there is a forum dedicated to our S-Types . . . be aware yours (like mine) is of the latter MY series known not only as "post facelift" (MY03 onwards) but perhaps also "post update" MY05 or MY06 onwards). Next advice is to read (and download, as required) from the Sticky "HOW TO . . . " all the manuals, TSBs, wiring diagrams etc for your model.

Above all, dive in and enjoy!
Cheers,

Ken

Welcome to the forum Spin Drift,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Some here would describe that as a safe distance.

Follow Norri's link in post #8 to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Southern Midwest Region forum by following this link US Southern Midwest - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome. First thought you had a white car. That was the name of a Jaguar paint color - "Spindrift White"
