New Jag owner - S type R with 210k
Hey guys, have just bought my first Jag. 2003 S type R. 210k in ok shape, needs a couple things. Service history is basically missing up to 140k, brake are new from 150k.
DS window regulator not working, small coolant leak near the DS radiator end tank - any ideas?
Airbag light is on, with passenger in the seat it blinks.
Feels a little floaty, so I am guessing needs shocks.
Rear spoiler is broken, so need one of those.
Is there a modern touch screen upgrade available?
I am aware of the myriad of issues with the transmission, but at this mileage I have to assume the fluid has been changed? Transmission shifts ok I think.
Same with the timing chains, zero noise from them, is it possible they are original?
Familiar with the headlight breakage on the S type, is there a way to prevent?
Also familiar with the console breakage - way to prevent?
Sunvisor fabric is a little loose - what's the best practice on those?

Welcome to the forums Extinct,
If it's lacking documented service history then I would tend to think it's likely a transmission fluid change has not been done.
Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ed-v8-x200-15/ to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Mid Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-mid-atlantic-65/ to find other members in your region.
Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham
