anybody have any ideas?

hello. new to the group as just bought myself a s type 3ltr v6 jaaaag. had many jags over the years but never a s type. seems to be a good motor foe sayi ng i only paid 200 quid for it. it needed all the brakes done, two track rod ends and two brake pipoes for the test so im well chuffed. few little niggles tho . only to be expected on a w reg car lol. firstly when it goes into top gear , 5 sp auto. it feels like it has a wee judder. check oil level and its gushing out making me think someone has over filled the box. going to change g box oil and filter and hopefully it cures it as all other gears are fine and a lovely smooth gear chang but i am wondering about the low fuel warning on the dash . it was low so i put fuel in and now gauge is reading half full which would be about right for the amount i put in but the range still reads around 49 miles and the low fuel warning is still on the dash. any known fixes or is it to do with the sender?

thanks folks. think by the look of it the gearbox is too full of oil. pulled the level plug and oil is pouring out. so next dry day will get the level set when i refill. i love the jags and loved my old xj6's had a daimler 3.6 too which i loved but ended up too rotten in the end.. had every xj from the single cam 2.9 up to the 4ltr. had a twin turbo xf diesel for a shot of too which restored my love of the jags after i went off the quality of the x300 and didnt like the x type or to be truthful this x200 but for the money i thought it would be a nice relaxing drive compared to my classic type ra subaru that is a bit of a animal lol. and one day hope to own one. or a xj6 xjr. got another niggle with the fuel gauge but will post up a different thread for it.

hello. having been a jag fan for many many yrs and owned quite a few and came accross a bargain of a s type in aberdeen for 200 quid. ive been out the jag scene for 6 yrs having been dissapointed with a x300 i bought after 7 yrs of various xj6 ownerships. i currently been running a impreza classic but is in the middle of a engine rebuild and saw this w reg jag for sale. stype 3ltr v6 with the 5 sp auto.. was told it needed brakes done and a shock. £200 for the car i thought why not. so far ive replaced all the brakes and dics all round and serviced it. everything works apart from the folding mirrors ( uless i dont know how they work lol ) so far it seems to be a bargain anyway. up for a test and all it needed was two track rod ends and two brake pipes ...oh and a front bearing as i pullrd the abs cap off from behind the front wheel and lost the magnetic pick up ring . grrr. going to change gearbox oil as most folk forget to do this and although its a smooth box when it goes into 5th it has a slight judder so hoping its just dirty oil and filter. tho for the price i can afford to spend a bit on it and run it untill my other car is finished
