My Intro to Jag World
Hey All,
This is my first membership to any forum, but I am excited to be apart of the community here! I'm 33, live in San Diego and have recently decided to undertake a mini restore of my mom's old 2001 S-Type. After exhaustive and truly fascinating research, decided it would be even more fun to put some money into this car, than apply it towards a new car with payments. It's been a very fun process, but the car had been sitting parked by the ocean for some time, and needed some TLC.
My into to this site has been me covertly researching the 1st phase of my reconditioning project over the past month. I did my best to take photos of various steps, and will submit a new post of the project- start to present. Due to the research and info I was able to receive largely from this site, as well as websites of recommended retailers and brands that work well with our cars from members, I was able to turn my mom's old car into my daily driver and execute it in less than a week and a half
Well that's me in a nutshell, I will be posting the project and all the interesting tidbits soon!

Welcome to the forum Rob,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
It sounds like you've already found your way to the S-Type tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. 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 USA Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/ to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham

Thanks all for the warm welcome! I'm stoked to be here, and have most definitely appreciated all the feed back and intel I've received from everyone. I hope to be a part of the info and "experience sharing" as I proceed, and hope to return what I have received from this forum!! I'm headed to my first Jaguar meetup this weekend in Orange County and am looking forward to receiving some addt'l info and showing what I've done so far to my car. Thanks everyone again!
