New owner of an '05 S Type 4.2
Hello,
My name is CB, I live just outside of NYC in Westchester County and recently purchased my first Jaguar. It is a 2005 S Type V8 with a little less than 95,000 miles. It's in pretty rough condition but can be brought back to its former glory with a bit of care and effort.
Since I purchased it in June, I have changed all the spark plugs and one coil pack. It is currently in the shop for a transmission oil, pan and sleeve change using the ZF Life kit I first read about in the S Type forum.
When I first purchased it, the check engine light was on and accompanied by a litany of engine codes. With the services performed so far, the check engine light and all but one code (P1000) have been extinguished.
Still a way to go but, I'll get there.

Welcome to the forum CellophaneBrain,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
You will always see either code P1000 (OnBoard Monitoring tests not completed since last memory clear) or P1111 (OnBoard Test complete). They are a status and not an error.
Follow this link S-Type / S type R Supercharged V8 - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.
I can see you have 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 North East Region forum by following this link USA North East - ME NH VT MA RI CT NJ NY PA - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham
