Next week I’m taking the STR to Swallows Jag specialist for some recommissioning work as it’s been off the road for a few years… I’ve been advised not to start it and take it on a trailer so they can drain/replace bad fuel etc. I will have to winch it on to the trailer and I imagine I will have to r...

19D1B5D1-90DB-4D43-AF1E-24A65D03B6E4.jpeg Just replaced rear discs and pads on my STR.

Well…. That was a surprise…I’ve been replacing the discs and pads on my STR and noticed the word “Ford” stamped on the metal panels in the front wheel arch…. Are there many Ford parts on a Jaguar S Type?…… (I had heard that the X Type is built on a Mondeo wheel base)

I’m trying to find the source of a water leak in the windscreen washer system…. I’m trying to remove the washer reservoir to check the connections but having difficulty removing it. I’ve removed the offside wing liner and found 2 bolts which I’ve removed but the reservoir won’t budge.. I guess there...
