Hi all ,
Im new to the forum having recently purchased a S-type 3.0 liter. Ive been a Landrover man for many years owing everything from a 1956 Series 1 up to a L322 Range Rover & new Defender 90. We now live on a yacht so dont need a 4wd & decided something sporty & luxurious would suit our needs. We regulally travel from the Gold Coast to Byron Bay to babysit our Grandchildren & the S-type is perfect for this commute. Ive already fitted a new aircon compresor & picking up a new coolant expansion tank tomorrow. But everything else is just perfect. I love this car!

Welcome to the forum Mike.

 

Hi Mike . . . Welcome to the passionate world of Jaguar and these forums.
WOW!!! You joined us at a great time. Check out both the QLD and the NSW Regional forums for news on a combined InterState Meet we are planning for 2017.

Hope you enjoy your Jaguar, these forums, and the possibility of us catching up sometime on the road!

 

Thanks for all the wellcoming posts. I picked up a new expansion tank last week & a set of filters. Not used to working on such low vehicles had to make a set of ramps out of fence posts to get the jag high enough to climb under. The pan is huge but comes off easy. I was very surprised how clean everything was under there. This car has never been on a dirt road until last Sunday. Today we took a drive ip the Numinbah valley then across to Briunswick heads for lunch before refturning along the M1 in traffic. Lovely drive through the hills im starting to use the auto in manual mode ,judt love that exhaust note when it gets busy. I may even get an aftermarket set of rear pipes if they are available.
Love this car , i would not hesitate to say these S-types are probably the best bang for the $ on the second hand market today.

 

Welcome, Mike! I a fellow Land Rover owner, as well as a Jaguar owner. I have a a 2006 XK8 coupe and a 2006 Land Rover Discovery 3 (LR3 in the US). I previously owned a '92 Range Rover and a slew of Series Land Rovers over the years. In the distant past, also had a Jaguar XK-150 FHC. Hope you enjoy your Jag!
