Hi Danny, 

The last time I was in the USA we spent two weeks in the wonderful state of Arizona and indeed saw an S Type Jaguar in Phoenix.

We did't visit Tucson as we got in the wrong lane in road works and finished up in Tombstone.

The powers that be won't let me hire a car in the USA any more, as I am now 83 and still  enjoying my Jaguar.

I attach some photographs I took which may be of interest

Hello all we have two jags in our household 

an xk8 and a Xkr we have just signed up to this  site we are in Hesketh Bank Lancashire

South Wales. I like the Jaguar I've bought but am a bit fearful that it could be problematic, that's the pessimist in me, the first time I've bought a second hand car that's so old.

i don't think the garage I had it from is particularly good so realise I will have no support. 

The screenwash doesn't work (guess it will be the pump).

The screenwash is filled with plain water.

Came with only one key (advertised as two)

Battery was changed and they didn't have the radio code, never told me this, even though they knew.

The nearside headlamp is misted up condensation, would've liked them to have checked and fixed it.

The low outside temperature light comes on when it's not too cold and seems too warm. 

The odometer works but the trip computer seems temperamental and only works when it feels like it.

Still the car is a nice drive, I just hope not too much else goes wrong with it. All the above can and will be fixed, it'll be a good project. Any tips would be appreciated.

thanks all.

Welcome to the club, Tony.

There are several club members in Port Talbot and you may see them around the town.

The x type is a good car, and I think that you will be able to sort out the issues quite easily, although I would go back to the garage from which you bought the car and mention the absence the second key fob as advertised.  And I would suggest that they can easily find the radio code for you, but if they can't  or won't ring a Jaguar main dealer with the vin number handy and they will get it for you.

Regards

Peter

P.S.  I used to visit Port Talbot quite a lot before I retired  --  steelworker for 40 years.

[Old Peter]

Hi Keith, and welcome to the club,

Stalybridge has a ring in my ears, as I worked for John Summers and Sons for 10 years, and Stalybridge was where he started his works making clog nails, and he and his descendants finished with a steelworks  --  Hawarden Bridge Steelworks  -- with 13,500 employees before being mostly closed down in the 1980's.  While I was there they had two ships bringing iron ore from Sweden  --  The MV Hawarden Bridge and the MV Stalybridge.

Regards,

Peter.
