Service Information
This page contains some of the technical bulletins (TSB's) and other information I have found that affect our 2003 S-Type R. They came from the Jaguar Tech Info Website which you can subscribe to for a day, month, or year. The web address is:
http://www.jaguartechinfo.com/extjagprod/market.jsp
It is not meant to be an exhaustive list of items, but simply those I have run into. As always, please discuss your service concerns with a qualified advisor.
