THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Greetings, everyone. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Life is complicated. Still, I did get to use my S-type for my friends' wedding in Oakham a few weeks back. It seemed to go down well and it behaved faultlessly, which is more than can be said for the weather, which kept us guessing right up to...

They are ludicrously unreliable. I must be on about my fourth in 10 years. One I fitted didn't even work properly from the outset. Another one leaked. And, like you say, Rob, this is not a cheap part to buy.

Yes, like many members of the forum and the S-type Register, I've had many discussions with David in recent years, particularly in my quest to make my S-type as accurate as I can reasonably...

That's nice, Rob. I think I saw the same photo on Facebook.

Thank you, Tom.

The Chief Concours Judge of South Africa has just valued my car for insurance. He rates it as the best S Type in the country. He rated the car at 100 points Plus. I'm smiling from ear to ear & delighted. Now I will have it in writing to frame that I got there. This is no trailer queen & I c...
