Hello from Brooklyn Jag fans
I'm a Jag fan originally from the Shetland Islands. I live in New York now and the crappy roads here are really hammering my '95 XJ6 (I'm replacing new tie rods after 4000 miles!!). I've had her for 9 years and she's been a great car. I'm just getting round to replacing the sound system so I have a few questions about that.
In a former life I was an engineer and worked on exhaust system development for a couple of years (had a lovely '79 XJ in those days). I worked on the X350 exhaust and fondly remember walking the hallowed halls of Whitley many times (as a supplier not an employee). The Jaguar engineers were great, real enthusiasts, and excellent pro's. Some characters too. I remember my favorite engineer trying to scare me on the MIRA test track in souped up S-Type. "The back end got a little squirrely there Trev"!
I'm glad to finally be joining the gang.
Cheers,
Trevor

Welcome to the forum Trevor,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
Finally someone who may explain how Jaguar manage to find a grade of stainless steel for exhausts that rusts.
Follow this link XJ X300 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.
You can also visit the US North East Region forum by following this link USA North East - ME NH VT MA RI CT NJ NY PA - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.
