Hello all,

I just bought my first Jag, a 2003 S-Type (unfortunately not the R).

Have loved since I first saw them, and couldn't be more excited. Have to say the site was a ton of help in making my decision!

Quick question that I would really appreciate if someone could give me a little insight. Car was running fine, but I filled it up for the first time (with premium gas) and now, when I start it in the morning, it runs really rough (and the restricted performance alert pops up), but after a couple minutes, it is as smooth as could be.

Just wondering if anyone has an idea before I breakdown and take the car in for it's first repair job (just in case, for instance, the gas I'm using is the issue, or something simple like that, maybe I'm dreaming that the problem is that simple).

Thanks...Mark
