Hi all! Had my 2nd mishap in 2 days 2 months after acquiring my beast (4.2 2004 S-Type). 1st incident - pot hole damaged 2 rims, poor visibility at night! 2nd incident, got home from a 7km trip and found steam coming out of the bonnet. Discovered the end cap from the Thermostat housing (pn 2w-8A504-AC) came loose and leaked water. I hope it hasnt caused any serious damage!! Can I effect any repair to this end cap to secure it back? Will it be advisable?

Hi there Roper and fellow forumers!
I am Seelan Govender from South Africa. 1st Jag owner. 2003 S-Type 4.2 automatic! Been yearning for just under 40 years to own one, and then this fairly immaculate beast came my way 2 months ago and I could not resist!
