New Member and 1st time Jaguar Owner.

Hey all, just thought I would introduce myself.

 

Bought my 07 plate S-Type 3.0 Auto just over a month ago and loving it.

 

Used this forum for research before making the leap and now I'm a proud S-Type owner I can join the ranks.

Welcome to the club, William.

The S type is a future classic , in my opinion.

A great car to dive at whatever speed, and cruises beautifully'

I hope you enjoy the club.

Regards,

Peter.

Hello John

Welcome to the world of Jaguar ownership...you won't regret it!

We have an S of the same year as yours plus a'07 XK X150.  Like yours, we have the light upholstery which, we feel, suits the car better than black.

We note that you have the same wheels as us; they can be a bit of a pain to clean in the narrower slots....we have found that an alloy wheel brush from B&M Stores is a great help with just water, occasionally a light soap. The B&M brush doesn't have any sharp ended wires in it, the core wire is curved so there is no risk of scratching the alloy.

Also, see our previous post titled "S-type brake lights"; be wary when changing a rear cluster Bulb if you have to, because the metal frame of the cluster is permanently live.

Enjoy, and happy growling
