#946 of 1027 Repair Shops by md2 Aug 01, 2007 (2:37 pm)
Tom136 Try a Lincoln Dealership in your area Lincoln aka Ford motor co owns Jaguar and thus many of Lincoln car Dealerships work on Jaguars try you have nothing to lose i take my Jaguar to a Lincoln Dealership and they do great work on it good luck also as a note Jaguar s types are 90% the same as a Lincoln LS Replies to this message: pat (Aug 02, 2007 3:03 am)

Replying to: lisat4 (Sep 17, 2000 8:08 pm) Proud to read more about your S-Type Jaguar. This is what I'm going for maybe next year. Love this type of Jag. Thanks for posting. Replies to this message: britcrlvr (Aug 08, 2007 6:54 pm)
#949 of 1027 CATS system Failure: (Computer Active Technology Suspension) by catwilliams Aug 03, 2007 (4:23 pm)
Have a 2000 Jag S Type 3.0 I got the error message CATS system failure fault. Car was bouncing up and down like a Jeep. Took it to the dealership. They "fixed" it. Replaced the lateral acelelometer. I picked it up, drove it 4 miles and the error message went back on. Bouncy bouncy went my Jag. Took it back to dealership. NOW they say the CATS "module" is fried due to "water intrusion" into the trunk and that is causing it to send error messages when there is no error - it's the CATS computer module itself that is damaged. I say &(*#&#!!! to water intrution causing the module's downfall. My trunk has never been wet. ANYWAY, my warranty doesn't cover water based damages, and the Jag dealership is charging me $535 for a new CATS module and $566 in labor. AM I GETTING RIPPED OFF BY THE DEALERSHIP? I have to decide on whether or not to have it fixed by these crooks by tomorrow (8/4/2007). Thanks! Replies to this message: britcrlvr (Aug 08, 2007 6:58 pm)

Replying to: barb2 (Aug 02, 2007 8:46 am) don't do it, the interior fit and finish is crappy to put it kindly, Jaguar cut many corners when it first produced this car. If you have to get this model, the most I would be willing to pay would be 25000-30000. A better choice might be the new Jaguar XF, although its styling may not be what you are looking for. The first model year will be based on the Lincoln LS chassis, but after that the Jag will have a separate chassis from that of the Lincoln.

Replying to: catwilliams (Aug 03, 2007 4:23 pm) I don't know if my response comes to late but to put it briefly I would say yes. Is there any evidence you have to show the dealership that prior to taking it to them for service there was no water damage. They should have walked around it prior to you leaving and taken some short hand notes. You should have recieved this as a copy. If you have this and there is no mention of water damage technically the dealership is culpable and should cover your cost. If you don't have any other proof you are out of luck. I am slightly confused about the CATS system though, I thought it first debuted on the 04 Jag XJ8.
#952 of 1027 S-Type Car Cover and Sun Screen by l8apx3 Aug 09, 2007 (9:04 am)
I've recently replaced my 2000 S-type 3.0 with a new XJ. I'll have to agree that it's been a reliable, comfortable and entertaining car to own and drive each day. I have a Jaguar Car Cover and Windshield Suncreen available for FREE, to the first person who responds . All I ask is for you to pickup the shipping charges. Geoff
