Jim, I do feel it must be pointed out that it is most not only for a moderator to make a new member of what we believe to be a great club welcome morso, it is for every member to ensure such. It most definitely is not the purpose of this club / forum to intensionally frighten one or another in any way or form with any topic. The purpose of the club is for one and all to assist each other with any issues that may arise being the owner of such a grand marquee. For instance by profession I am an Electrical Engineer and would be more that happy to assist if anyone encounters any electrical issues however, I also have under my belt a degree in law therefore would be in a suitable position to assist anyone with any motoring laws such like The Road Traffic Act [1988] which would cover speeding offences and the like. In actual fact I have held the position of moderator to a forum that dealt with speeding laws and scameras and gained a lot of knowledge whilst doing so even, making representation within the Courtrooms for members. This is most definitely a club for comradeship to like minded people for whom should stick together assisting one and all. If any member wants to show off their cars then I'm all for it, I'm proud of mine and would like to participate a little more in club meets etc. Last year I offered to organise a South Wales meet taking our cars around what Clarkson, Hammond and May used for the testing of vehicles whilst on Top Gear like I did for the SL Club however, there was no interest. Shame the Black Mountains and The Brecon Beacons offer some fantastic driving roads whilst the Hotels for social gatherings are second to none in Swansea at very good rates.

Right guys ive had a look for a topic like this and couldnt find one. I thought it may be good to have a topic where we can show off our pride and joys. Heres my 2003 3.0 s-type after its 10th wash, wax and detail in two months! ( yes I know a bit obsessive )

Hi Jim, Thanks for the reply. The car is on 59k miles, I was told by the owner that he looked after it well and serviced it yearly himself, it does have a full Jag service history up until 2 years ago when the previous owner bought the car. He did also state that "It's probably due a service"... So yes I am planning on servicing the car but holding out on buying the bits to do it until I get my eBay special diagnostic tool. I'm hoping It just needs a good service and that will sort her out! Will update with the codes as soon as I get my diagnostic in the post!

Space saver and all the necessary is on its way as we speak ( collecting tomorrow)

Looking good it's a great feeling!

Hey everyone. I can honestly say as a newish well actually new member, I felt very welcomed to the club, on joining I found my way round the site easy and received lots of help in the forum towards sorting my current issue with my car and that's the whole reason I became a premium member (take a little, give a little back) however I can see why some people may be put of for example look at the s type like mine not just on here but all over the net seems to be gearbox issue after gearbox issue however having said that my previous brand of car was turbo after turbo. However that's the thing with forums and the like in fact anything in life the negatives always seem to stick out more than the possitives, that said with the help of the forums and the more experienced help within them quite often turn those negatives into possitives. A problem is not a problem it's a opportunity to shine excel and cure the fault. Even with my current gearbox fault I still love waking up in the morning looking out the window and seeing my first ever jaguar (S-type 3.0 V6) gleaming on my driveway and with my fingers crossed when the parts arrive it will be fixed.

Hi Peter, I am a bit like you -- I too am a driver and and a mechanic either. Listening to others and sharing experiences is a great way of learning. Regards, Peter.

Jim Thanks for the welcome. No plans ( at present ) to change or do anything in the modification department ( but that itself could change ). Only had my vehicle nearly a month now and at present well happy with the looks and performance ! Time will tell. Only dislike so far is "The puncture repair kit" instead of a "Space Saver"

Hi Peter Welcome to the club I also have a X Type and enjoying the Jaguar feeling don't worry about asking questions we have many friendly members who are too pleased to help each other . Frank

And the wheels im part way through refurbing.
