Thanks Joe.

It's not something I would fit in an S Type but as it is there thought I would ask. Will just leave it. I am not bothered about it working unless there was an easy solution and as the car is my little 'cheap' treat I don't want to be paying auto electricians to fix it.

Thanks Peter. I was just after a bit of advice and a spare part enquiry. Even a simple 'get lost' reply wouldn't have hurt.

Bit of a long shot but here goes.

When I bought my '99 S Type a couple of weeks ago it came complete with a tv screen/monitor fitted to the roof inside. The garage chappie said the previous owner had fitted it complete with a Sony Playstation - found un connected in the boot - 2 wireless headphones and two hand controllers. There doesn't appear to be anywhere to power up the console and no wiring.

Any ides how this was all connected?

Thanks

Cheers Andy and Malc,

I am Hull born and bred but live in Barton now after moving for work reasons.

I emailed Hatfield Jaguar last week Malc regarding a few issues with my S Type but never received a reply which I found disappointing. Unfortunately not got the car gleaming yet. Just waiting for a few dry days and time off work. At 20 mpg was only going to use it at weekends but love it that much I am commuting in it! Expensive drive to work

49 for me and i'm 50 now, only been driving it for a week now and love it even though it has its problems.

I like this reply. Just how I feel 2 weeks into owning my 1999 S Type.

To keep on thread I wanted a Jag as long as I can remember and have finally realised my dream at the age of 53 and three quarters.

Old mans car? Probably.

Little old Barton upon Humber. Go south over the Humber Bridge and we are just to the left

After having the car for a few days I have found a couple of things. The rear drivers side door won't lock and can I heck get the hang of the climate control. I had it set on auto the other day and went through a hand car wash. During the wash the car misted up inside so badly I couldn't see a thing. Am I doing something wrong?

That is one handsome car.

What a lovely motor

Morning Malcom, thank you for that. I am hoping to post a few pics when I get the car cleaned and gleaming. We live on a new build site at the moment so the car is usually covered in sand/mud/builders debris. Might have to buy a car condom for it lol

Hi Karl.

I have bought the same car, age amd model, so will be interested to know how you have got on with it. I get mine tomorrow and it appears to be a good car. Bit of rust here and there but seems pretty good for 17 years old. All the bits, apart from the electric folding wing mirrors seem to work. I am sure the next few days may tell a different story after I have taken delivery of it and driven a few miles. It has covered 150k miles.

I pick up my 1999 S Type tomorrow and the dealer said the only fault he knows of with the car is that the folding mirrors don't. Could there be a problem like above posts or do the mirrors have their own fuse that might need changing?

Thanks

Thanks Peter.,

I can't wait to give it a proper spin, more old man cruiser than boy racer!

Hi all,

Ever since I was a child peering through car windows to see what speed they could do I have wanted a Jag. That childhood seemed forever ago and now 54 in August. Finally having raided the back of the sofa for pennies and a few old sweets I managed to come across a thousand pounds. Foolishly or not, and only the coming months will tell, I bought my Jag today and fulfilled that  boyhood dream.

I took a 1999 S Type 3.0L V6 for a test drive and fell in love. A man and a car kind of love. I pick it up on Saturday after it has been valeted and I have sorted insurance and tax. I have now just done that. Took out breakdown cover too as a precaution.

Hopefully any future posts will all be positive and not posts from various roads I have broken down on!

Any advice for future Jaguar pleasure will be happily received.
