New Jag owner

[RonAdam]

Hi, just bought my first jag, an 06 2.2 D sport with cream leather upholstery, body needs a little tlc, drives beautifully when its not in limp mode lol, I really enjoy driving it tho.

No doubt i will be asking for lots of advice but will check previous posts first.

Ron

Happy new year to all the members.

Sharing experiences is a good thing and a learning curve for ll.

Hi every one,I have a 2003 3.0 se sport s type .i've had it for 7 years and it's still in tip top condition , it used to be owned by the chief constable of Yorkshire so it has all the toys factory fitted and I still get a buzz from driving it.Last year I only clocked 2800 miles.

Welcome to the Club, Rob,

 

I have the rather sedate 2.7Diesel.  It will only do 142 mph!

 

All the s type models are very nice cars.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

i did 145 and it was still going but I chickened out and it took a long time to slow down,that was a couple of years ago near saarbruckjen in Germany

[Old Peter]

I chicken out at around 70mph when my wife is in the passenger seat, Rob, but I was driving fast bikes in the sixties and know what it feels like at 100 +.

Did have a n odd misfire at about 40mph ,a while back,changed coil packs plugs ect and nobody wanted to touch it,turned out it was a faulty speed sensor damaged by a worn cv joint on the offside rear.Acted like a bacon slicer on the sensor,took a £500 to figure what war wrong!!

Rob,

 

My first car was an angle box.

 

Take your car down the A303 early morning  and open up the taps !

Rob,

 

No you won't.

 

No speed cameras in Wiltshire, and you can see for miles ahead .
