New 2000 S Type Owner questions

We picked up a 2000 S Type with 110K miles for a little over $4K...

Good deal?

What major maintenance work should we look into asap?

We have only one key, how do we go about getting another, with remote?

Moon roof doesn't close completely, anyone heard of this issue?

Rear view side mirrors are not operating, where to look first, fuses?

Sorry, new excited owner, searching the forums...

Thanks in advanced!

Do you guys recommend changing my emblem to the actual jaguar or keep the original flat emblem on the car??

Radio Upgrade

For a 2000 s type- can anyone recommend a good radio system upgrade? The speakers seem to be quite old and was curious whether to put in a box system or just upgrade the speakers...

Seeing as how you are new I won't suggest doing a search

but if the roof is not closing properly at the rear edge this may help.

Is this the bonnet/hood emblem? if so I vote for the leaper.
Expect some differing views.

totally up to you but consider the temptation to emblem collectors or scum who think its cool to rip it off btw I think the badge looks better on the s-type but that's my opinion

hood ornament

I been getting alot of looks with the flat emblem.. I guess people mistake the s type for some kind of bently!lol
What do you guys think of getting a mesh insert for 75 bucks? is it hard to install? or should i just put up the extra bucks for the chrome mesh with the grill attached $275?
