Hi Anthony, Red (plum), I'd never had guessed - either way it looks stunning. Best regards, Dave

That's good news Sue. I didn't even look in the 'for sale' section. Well it just shows you had a great car for sale going so quickly. All the best, Dave

Hi Sue, Welcome to the forum and selling your Cat - tad unusual but needs must? Can you provide some details, maybe a photo or two of the car? Would be good to tell us how many miles are on the clock, service history does it have a current MOT and the sort of price you'd hope to receive. Best regards & happy hunting, Dave

Hi John, Posting a pic is quite simple if a little convoluted - it's not like dragging and dropping from one part of your harddrive to another. 1. Ideally you may need to reduce the size - most cameras churn out pics between 2 to 3MB, you may want to reduce the pic to about 500kb; 2. You'll need to upload them to a photo sharing website (I use photobucket there are many others); 3. If you intend to post a load of photos it would be wise to store them in an album before uploading: 4. Once on the sharing site copy the url to paste here using the picture icon above (just below left of the smiley above); Note: if you delete or move the photo it will loose the link to this site. Good luck, I look forward to seeing some pics. Best regards, Dave

Hi Anthony, She looks stunning, I'm jealous already . What black is that? The pic of her rear end has a purple hue to it........ Best regards, Dave

Hi Steve, My name's Dave and I drive a Jag :D , Welcome to the forum, hope to see some photos posted. Best regards, Dave

Hi John, Welcome to the forum and Jag ownership. Couple of days at the refurbishers :D , you'll have to post some pics. Best regards, Dave

Hi Ian, Welcome to the forum and Jag ownership. I second Keith's suggestion re "a few photos". Best regards, Dave

Hi Mandy, Welcome to the forum and custody of what sounds like a lovely Jag. You'll need to take a couple of photos and post. I agree with your post - "a little strange" - as you can't drive but own a XJS - could be an interesting car to learn to drive in ;). I don't know much about the electrics, so unfortunately I can't help, maybe someone else on the forum can step up. Good luck, Dave

:D

Hi Phil, Welcome to the forum and Jag ownership, I hope you get a bit of support re engine management, have you looked at independents page? May be some external assistance? Good luck, Dave

Hi Anthony, Welcome to the forum and Jag ownership, is this your first? Make sure you post some pictures, especially after you've waxed/polished it Personally I'm a fan of Autoglym but often use Collinite wax to get a deeper shine. Best regards, Dave

Love to go but I'm out of the country that week. Have a good Tour, Dave

A great day at Warwick Castle, there must have been a few hundred Cats (every car in shot (even the ones in the far distance) are Jags some new, some very old :D), A number of Jag clubs and SNG Barrett (to mentions some) had a stand/display. Took the family as the entry for a Jag was £12 on the day, almost a 1/4 of the normal family ticket. Lots to do, with events every half hour and just after 2pm we had a number of fly-by's of a Spitfire MKXII, the sound of the engine was absolutely awesome - puts the Jag V8 in to the shade.

So off to Warwick Castle in the morning, the car needed a bit of a wash:- So a quick blitz with shampoo and wax (really should do someting with the exhaust)

Hi Graham, Welcome to the forum and owning a lovely Cat. Best regards, Dave

Hi Shaun, Welcome to the forum and Jag ownership, is this your first? She looks a gorgeous example. Best regards, Dave

Hi Christian, Welcome to the club and back to Jag ownership, hope to see a couple of phots of you cat. Best regards, Dave

Hi Glyn, welcome to the club and ownership of a lovely cat, hope to see some pictures posted soon. Best regards, Dave

Hi Lesley, Welcome to the forum and Jag ownership, we all need you to post a couple of pics so we can drool over your Sportbrake (dog optional) :D Best regards, Dave

Hi Randal, Welcome to the forum and Jag ownership, you'll have to take a couple of phots (especially after the car has just been valeted) and post here for everyone to oggle you're pride and joy. Personally I don't know too much about the X-Types, so I'll leave other members to answer your question on the drive issue - what I do know the first X-Types were AWD and in 2003 front wheel drive was introduced - not sure exactly which models though Best regards, Dave

Hi Kev, Welcome to the forum and Jag ownership. Best regards, Dave

HI Chris, I think I'd follow isis' advice on the first S-Type - travelling 2000 miles for a broken car seems crazy but having a look at the STR a few k's away (even if it has issues) is a bit more sensible. It sounds like you've experience taking an engine apart and doing a bit of work, to tease out the reasons behind the overheating problem should be straightforward. Good luck Dave
