#986 of 1027 Re: S-Type vs Caddy STS [wshfl] by nimbus Jul 05, 2008 (2:20 pm)
Replying to: wshfl (Jul 05, 2008 10:15 am) I keep thinking that, but I used to work for the public and know people tend towards writing only bad things. It seems like the exception to the rule that people write "Wow I love that (fill in the blank)." From what I keep reading though...and the fact that the Caddy Dealer is 10 min from my house and the Jag dealer an hour....I am leaning STS.
#987 of 1027 Should I buy a Jag? by mlimas Oct 07, 2008 (8:27 am)
Hello All,      I am new to the site and was considering buying a 2002 S-Type w/70K miles....The vehicle has been pre-qualified w/a 3-year, 45K mile warranty, which I intend on purchasing. After reading all of the previous postings I am second guessing whether or not I should purchase the vehicle. I only need the car for a couple of years before I buy something else. Should I purchase the vehicle? If I intend on buying a Jag should I put a little more down and buy an '03 S-Type or newer? Obviously I'm sure many of you will recommend the newer S-Type but the dealer I am looking at, who is apparently the nation's leader in pre-owned Jag sales has a price difference from an '02 and '03 at about $4K. Any Suggestions. Thank you for your help in advance,    ML
#988 of 1027 Hopelessly in Love!!! by soyelisabeth Oct 18, 2008 (4:57 pm)
I recently test drove a 2004 S-Type with 83,000 miles . It comes with a 4,500 mile warrenty. What power! My concern is the hesitation between the time I depress the pedal and there is accelertion. Such responsive steering! My concern is the whining noise I hear during sharp turning. Quick breaking! I wonder why my foot sinks ever-so-slowly to the floor? I REALLY DO love this sexy, elegant, stylish car whIch exudes curb appeal! 'any ideasas to what is wrong with the car by my descriptions? I'd like an idea as to what this European beauty will cost me should I decide to take it home. The dealer tells me there is nothing wrong with the car. (Who's surprised?) Thanks.

#990 of 1027 '93 XJS Brakes squeal by xjsguy Oct 20, 2008 (8:20 am)
I had the brakes done on my XJS by a very reputable local shop and, after I got the car back, the brakes squealed. I took the car back and they checked everything and could find nothing. They sprayed the brakes with a compund which stopped the squear for a couple of day and, it came back. They replaced the pads with non-metallic ceramic pads and the squeal came back. They are contacting the mfgr(probably Raybestos) to ask about this. The brakes function properly other than making this noise.   The shop is one I've gone to for years and, they are honest and treat me and others decently.   When I depress the brake pedal softly, the squeal begins and is there for a second or so after I take my foot off of the pedal. If I press hard on the pedal, they do not squeal.   Has anyone experienced this in their XJS? If so, can you tell me what either corrected it or what you think? thank you.

#991 of 1027 Fuses, or Computer? by neotab Oct 21, 2008 (6:50 pm)
Shortly after buying my 2004 Jag S-type with 40,000 mi. about 8 months ago, I realized that three things don't work. No back-up warning system (beepers), the side mirrors do not rotate flat against the car for tight parking situations, and after about 10 minutes of driving (usually at low speeds, 30-40 mph) the amber warning light comes on, saying that cruise control is unavailable (even though I don't try to use it, and never have). Mechanic says it's not fuses and says a Jag dealer must replace a computer. Everything else is great. Any ideas before I take it to a dealer?

#993 of 1027 2003 S -Type by Mesmerizing_k Jan 16, 2009 (12:31 pm)
I have no sound coming from the radio, CD or Nav System yet they are all on - The radio was working fine then nothing - I cannot seem to get the sound back even after depressing the mute button on the steering wheel. I also need the plastic trim piece above the front side glass on the passenger door any locations other than the dealer? Replies to this message: xjsguy (Jan 16, 2009 12:56 pm)

Replying to: Mesmerizing_k (Jan 16, 2009 12:31 pm) My 93 XJS will do that at times. It has to do with a connection problem. I don't know the diagrams for your Jag butt, I have found that, if the panel under the steering column is not clipped on, this will happen.
#995 of 1027 2000 S Type 45K Miles by stevenb226 Feb 07, 2009 (8:07 pm)
Well after reading many of the postings, I may be asking a question I know the answer to...I've been looking for a stylish sedan to replace my 740 BMW with 180K, while the BMW has been far from perfect, it's been a great ride, now too big, while my logical side says get a Lexus, this like new 2000 S looks sexy...but hey I'm looking for fewer repair bills not more...thoughts.   Steve Replies to this message: alorasdad (Feb 08, 2009 8:15 am) ron6962 (Feb 08, 2009 8:59 am) oldcem (Feb 08, 2009 8:36 pm) soyelisabeth (Feb 08, 2009 8:56 am)
