I LOVE FORUMS!!!!
This is great!!! I whole time i was looking at my car i was thinking there better be some forums to tell me all the weird things that my car can do that the dealer wont tell me about!!!
Anyway, I am a first time Jaguar owner. I just bought my 03' S-Type for my daily driver car. I love this car, i get more looks in this then in my 500hp sports car.and the Perfect power and soundat 25 mpg average is awesome.
My name is Mark and I am 22, live in utah and am self employed.
Anyway thats a little about me....nowmy car does have on issue.. at 2500-3500 rpm it doesn't accelerate smoothly.. In most cars this would be a "old sparkplug issue" maybe someone couldconfirmthis for me or let me know if this is normal. Also I noticed inmy old volvo that if i changed the spark plugs i would have to got the dealer to flash thecars computer. Is this the same with jaguar? How would i get ahold of thegear i would need to plug a laptop into the car and program it myself.
I found the cleanest car a could.. it took me 4 months to find the right one. but they all had broken rear cup holders. lol
Onemore thing.. If i hold down the unlock button on the remote for three seconds the doors unlock and all windows and sunroof open. So logicly shouldn't the lock button being held for three second put them all up?Well mine doesn't do anything when i hold down the lock key. Oh well this isn't the fix it forum
Thanks for making such a great community for a very small and prestiges group. I look forward to being a member of this site.

Hey guitarman, welcome and congrats on the new whip, and the 500hp 911 turbo. As for your acceleration issue, I'd look to see if it's throwing any codes. Is your check engine light on? I would also check for any vacuum lines. As for the universal open, it works on almost any car, but the universal close has to be programmed at the dealer. Oh, and no piggy back systems are readily available for the S-type so computer reprogramming is basically done by dealers only.

Hey guitarman and welcome to the forum bud and congrats on your new ride.......post some pics in the photo gallery section why dont you? Show her off a little.
Maybe one of yourself to go in the mug shot thread in the off topic section.
As for your windows all opening when holding doen the unlock button for 3 sec, thats known as Global open. Sounds like you dont have global close, although I think that is a dealer programmable function, for a cost of course...lol
