BTW - I do speak foreign; I have been a student of the German tongue for 2 years now. Unfortunately a German can read what I wrote and understand me. But they will surely know right away that I am writing German sentences as an English speaker would.

Hey, if you take one as well, you will feel better too...

Up by the radiator is the heater control valve. Clean the connector and inspect it for corrosion. Replace control valve if problems persist.

I pity anyone with an early Ford type, S Type.

The people I know of who had one, have either dumped it or upgraded it.

They make a "Leyland" XJ6 look as reliable as a Rolls Royce :-)

The sorst as-pect is that, just like XJ40, they knew all of the problems before launch. In the case of XJ40 the issues were known, but misrepresented by Jim Randle and Engineering. In the case of S-Type, they were well known and the Jaguar engineering group were prohibited from doing anything about them. Hell, before the damn S-Type was launched, the 2002 MY interior facelft and the ZF transmission upgrades were already in the plan! Wjat a friggin' fiasco, no wonder Ford's bonds are junk, and their market share is at 1928 levels.
