New owner :) and few questions
Hello everyone, just got a 2007 S-Type 4.2, and very impressed so far with the road manners of this vehicle.
However it seems to have a couple of issues
1. high-pitched whine coming from the rear side of the vehicle at speed...
2. noticed a puddle of water (well, it doesn't look/smell like anything else) after leaving it in garage overnight...
3. the front grill seem to stay hot for a while even after engine shutdown, is this normal? no dash warning lights at all whatsoever.
I know #1 is a TSB item, and I will ask the dealer to fix under warranty. But have any of you experienced #2 before? I guess one reason might be that the car was recently detailed before being sold, and the under pan caught some water??
Cheers!

Can't help with No. 1 but as you say your dealer should sort that noise out for you.
With regard to the water on the garage floor, this is probably due to the A/C system with the condensation dripping from the compressor unit which is quite normal. However to be sure keep an eye on the coolant level for a day or so just to ensure it is no from the cooling system.
If the water on the floor is clear and clean I'm sure it will be from the Air Conditioning System and nothing to worry about.
My 2.5 V6 stays warm for sometime after switching off and as long as the Temperature Gauge is reading normal, you should be okay on this point.
Very nice looking car and hope you enjoy it and have many happy miles of motoring with it.

#3 My 3.0 does the same thing. I think it's due to the unusual grille, which because of it's position and angle allows airflow to come from the engine compartment out the front while at rest. It's perfectly normal. Most modern cars have the intake low, and that warm air exhausts out the back of the lid. Our cars are just special.

jagv8, if you can't contribute a real answer, get off the forum.
The whole point of the forum is to learn from other peoples experience and knowledge; not to be told to look somewhere else for an answer.
Even though you're considered a "Veteran Member", you rarely seem to offer any actual advice. It's easy to rack up 2,000 + post when all you post is snippy garbage.

Here is what I think it is.
In British English, the term "drive shaft" is restricted to a transverse shaft that transmits power to the wheels, especially the front wheels. A drive shaft connecting the gearbox to a rear differential is called a propeller shaft, or prop-shaft. A prop-shaft assembly consists of a propeller shaft, a slip joint and one or more universal joints. Where the engine and axles are separated from each other, as on four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive vehicles, it is the propeller shaft that serves to transmit the drive force generated by the engine to the axles.
A drive shaft connecting a rear differential to a rear wheel may be called a half shaft. The name derives from the fact that two such shafts are required to form one rear axle.
Several different types of drive shaft are used in the automotive industry:
This is not a Jaguar one though.

Also sometimes referred to as the Cardan Shaft.
