So here's my story,

of how I came to this beautiful time-less designed automobile, what I encountered with it, how I solved these issues, that confronted me forth-head, maybe its a bit of help to someone, so, let's get started and here it goes, as I one day sat on my office chair, I had time to glaze out of the window, to see, that, on the other side of the street, where from the state confiscated automobiles where auctioned, after a time period. I've always wondered myself, way is this car, after two years still there? So, I decided to done a little research work via Internet and found out that a Jaguar S-type X200 wasn't (is a) a bad buy!, it had losts of extras 6 Airbags, ACC, ABS, Electrical Seats and Sun roof, Adjustable Steering Column, Alarm-system, a new radio with DVD screen and some more niceties (though not really needed necessities), also, it was a non smoker car, no worn or ridden out seats, , stainless, I mean stainless, some Dashboard accessories looked a little bit cheap, however, though, It didn't mind me at all. So, with the paint job still in top condition, I decided to bid for it at it's auction. On auction day, green has a grass hopper I was, my first, probably, also my last auction, their were about fifty viable bidders in the auction hall, not all had interest, as the car came to auction, the starting price was 1000, then the order came, how gives more, south of myself I heard someone say, 15 hundred, here!, 15 hundred once, thump, 15 hundred twice, thump, I opened my mouth, got my vocals rumbling, brought all my might together, here, 20 hundred, the auctioneer again, how gives more, 20 hundred once, 20 hundred twice, 25 hundred, here! a man on the other side of hall, looked like a car salesmen from some sunny part of our world, I hopped that I wouldn't be set up here, or even in some sort of a rip-off, the auctioneer went on, the prices crept up incrementally, though, I had my price that I would give and no cent more. Then, sunny boy gave his last bid, 27 hundred! the man in suit pocked my out, I roughed myself up, gave my last bid and this was already over my set limit of 29 hundred! again, how, as always, gives more, I have a bid for 29 hundred, does anyone, give more? first, second and the third thump proceeded, sounded through the thump of his hammer, sold for 29 hundred to the man in white, bestially uniformed that day, however, in the aftermath of this advantageous adventure into the technology of this jag, I should have had an overall on or a friend with automobilistic technical understandings, were the pains can be. Now, with the lack of financial acumen, I had a car that was ready to be recycled, in other words scrap! Here down below is what had to be done.

Valve clearance, timimg-chain, tensioner and glides:
With valve clearance in its tolerance, there was no need to take the camshafts down, so tensioners and co. have to wait, the good thing is the tensioner pumps up in 3-4 min. the rattle noise disappears.

Cruise control malfunction, emergency mode

Chassis

Air Conditioning

Wind-shield-wiper mechanism:
Time on the lot took its toll, wind-shield-wiper shafts had seized, uninstalled the mechanism, freed the seized shafts through the use of a good rust loosener, heat, force.

Water in Spark-plug wells 3-2 cylinder:
After days of heavy rain the engine began to misfire with accounted trouble codes, spark-plug wells were wet, an ionized rusty red path on the ceramic insulator had developed which shorted the HV ignition spark.

Radio:
Connected the radio controls to the multifunction steering wheel using an analog digital converter.
