Note: This car belonged to my high school friend’s brother who gave it to her son when he first learned how to drive. He’s grown now, so the car has been sitting for years! I hope you join us on the journey to get this big old cat back on the road!

i didnt know they made a V8 'S' type! was a Jag V8 or did they use Fords modular like they did with the V6?
Gotta have at least one Lola appearance.
Oh i see dollar signs getting that one sorted. I would ask LoLa for guidance on this Jaguar.
The best way to deal with that year jag is to put a can of sterno on the intake manifold, then remove the Shrader valve from the fuel rail, turn the key and run.
Maybe no oil is why it wouldn't even try to start?
Hi Mike. I'm not trying to be a smart-xxx but wouldn't one of the family members have the master key and key fob? That would be the easiest way to deal with the immobilizer stuff. Good luck figuring it out– it seems like a good car so far.
@18, Wow Misty is cool for giving you a sack of grass to work on the JAG.
You are probably going to have to bring it to the dealer for them to reprogram the keys. When the computer sits without battery power for more than a few months the computer needs reseeding.$400.
actually you might have to reprogram the key to the computer . some fords and other cars will forget the keys programed if the battery is dead for years . try to reprogram it Mike
Is this from the time period Ford owned them? If so this thing is a large piece of poo.
Good luck. We had a x type one, we had two moments of happiness with the car. When we bought and when we sold.
This one is a can of worms. Good luck with this one! Back to the Mercedes Station Wagon and the Barbie Car
Plus charge the battery too full !
Sometimes the driver side door lock must be turned lock and unlocked too make anti theft on and off too allow car too start !
I like her Mike. She’s a keeper!!
Mike u know u can get in the back trunk by the back seat and pull the strap on the inside of trunk lid. By the middle console on back seat
nice Ford Milkey
There's a key hole under the licence (number) plate light plinth to open the trunk (boot) when the battery is dead. The steering wheel lock is electric. The ignition lock also has a little flap that clicks a switch when you take the key out, & they get sticky, so clean & lube your flaps! Also, check the gearshift parking switch, and the brake switch, as they also control whether or not the starter engages. … The Jag V8 NEEDS a good battery, they don't work properly with tired or undersized batteries, so that needs sorting out (also, when you fit a new battery, all kinds of warnings will come up, you have to start & run it 2 or 3 times before the computer clears all the warnings, so don't panic!) ..
I`d like to know why there's no oil at all, & no coolant.. Is there undercarriage damage? Rad damage? a chunk out of the pan (sump)? The heater valves can leak in the engine bay, I guess you`ll find out when you get water in it & run it.. So, check your flaps, & check your undercarriage!
Pretty neat Jaguar S type came with orginal phone even tho car is near 20 years old good luck to this project Monkey Wrench.
Y’all 2 would make a great couple
Yahhhh randy
You need a lift in your yard or garage…Missie and Mike, still young lovers.
o you have another ignigon key ? it looks like the computer isnt recognizing the ignition key. godd luck.
Could the remote battery be flat ,you should be used to the battery cable being on the bulkhead as your favourite cars do it
