Default New 2001 S-Type 3.0 owner

Hi all. This beautiful vehicle came to me due to the passing of my Aunt and Uncle. It was wonderfully cared for and I intend to do the same.

I have an issue with the radio I'm currently researching on, as it only receives 2 FM stations and nothing but static on AM. It worked well when I picked it up and drove home, but today (3 days later) I'm seeing issues. I've found a lot of info here and other sites so I'm not sweating the radio yet and I'm not really asking for assistance in this thread.

This new-to-me S-Type has few issues, which I'll list here anyway.
  1. Radio as described above
  2. Remotes need new rubber buttons
  3. Front passenger seat, rear right bottom plastic cover piece is broken
  4. Front floor mats are worn, needs replacing
  5. No owner's manual
  6. Floor needs a good vacuuming
  7. Raising the hood or trunk lid shows some dust and a few pine needles.
So, as you can see, there isn't much to complain about here. It drives great.

Hello,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar, and condolences on how you got it.
In my world, a car in that condition could well be just off the showroom floor yesterday!

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
