Relief...for now....
Overheating issue was definately bad (a lot of Jag owners can relate)...
-NO heat (due to low coolant)
-Radiator fans kept running (even after shutting vehicle off)
I had taken the car for a radiator flush and all was well with the thermo, water pump, etc. I got heat back and those damn fans stopped. I had a coolant leak behind the driver side tire and thanks to the forums I found the problem to be none other than a......cracked coolant tank...Purchased the tank $45 and my being the lazy person I am I took it to my local Jaguar certified guy (Gomez Automotive). Installation was $30.
Big thanks to these forums and guys like Jag-Genius and Factory Jaguar Tech! Hopefully everyone experiencing the problem can resolve them with ease.

RE: Relief...for now....
Glad you got it sorted. Anytime you do a coolant flush though, I recommend changing thermostat. All that crap in the system that is making you do the flush in the first place has to gather somewhere, and thermostat is normally it. Cheap insurance to replace it periodically.
