Hi I’m looking for anyone who can help me with a little problem I had the other day, I have a 2003 Jaguar S-TYPE and it’s been a trooper the past 4 years but yesterday I was driving up north and i noticed some white smoke start coming out from behind me so I drove/coasted to the nearest exit and every time I pressed the pedal to try and give it more power the smoke got way heavier, I rolled up onto the overpass and came to a complete stop and it shut right down on me, it wasn’t making any violent noise or anything when this happened nor did it overheat, it actually dropped tempature and gained tempature until it was back to normal a couple of times (or so the thermostat said) I know I blew a line off my coolant overflow tank and was was a solid two big jugs of coolant low when I got it home, I let everything dry out overnight and jury rigged my coolant line back together to try and start it at least and today it acts like it still wants turnover and things still seem to be moving right in the engine with no extra noise but it can’t quite seem to turn over still. It just can’t catch and fire up like normal but it’s still turning over, if any of you out there can help me with this anything would be greatly appreciated.

 

Engine size and type?

Number of kilometres/miles?

 

Blown head gasket with fluid in one cylinder at least to cause the inability to turn over a strong possibility.

Could try taking spark plugs out one at a time trying to turn over to see what happens.

 

2003 Jaguar s type 3.0 V6 229000 Miles

 

alright ill I’ll probably just have to bring it in somewhere and have it checked just to be sure, I feared it might be something along the lines of a blown head gasket
