Just wanted to say thanks to the knowledgeable ones relative to buying/owning this amazing car.
With the forewarnings that you mentioned relative to the waterpump going out and/or plastic tubes.
Well, I bit the bullet and ordered all the essentials from my local Jag dealer. (Its not leaking)
Car goes in tomorrow to have all the work done.
Just a friendly thank you for letting me in that problem with the faults...

 

Being prepared is the way to go! Knowledge is power!
I also found this list a real hot bed of info and has saved me thousands of dollars over the years.
