Subject:Re: F/you think we have problems? Try owning a MB600

By 2000 Ford had owned Jaguar long enough to make them a decent car.

I own a 1970 XJ and it's a different story....

Thanks, Tom Hargrave

Ask me why I prefer to drive/fix an 87 Syncro - we have a 2000 or 2001
Jaguar S type (inherited, we did not get the bright idea ourselves to go buy
this thing).  Lovely as well, but there is no heat - good thing we do not
live where there is snow.  Briefly persuing the Jaguar forums tells me this
could be an expensive problem.  No a/c either, but I suspect in that
instance it probably just needs a charge/maintenance, although on second
thought the climate control is obviously all tied together.

My husband previously had an 86 XJ 6, quite comfortable, larger than this S
type, and far cheaper to work on.

Donna, 87 Syncro
