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)

Replying to: stevenb226 (Feb 07, 2009 8:07 pm) Steve, I've had my 2000 S since 2005. It had 49000 on it when I bought it, has 110000 now. I've had to replace the condenser coil, $4k, had some leaks to deal with and now I'm getting a "Transmission Issue" on the message lights. With a sealed trannie, I can't even get it serviced - my only option would be replacement. My 1999 Forester with 210,000 miles has had fewer maintenance issues. Given the option, while the Jag was a dream car for me, I'd drive something else. Replies to this message: ron6962 (Feb 08, 2009 8:59 am) oldcem (Feb 08, 2009 8:36 pm)

Replying to: stevenb226 (Feb 07, 2009 8:07 pm) I considered a 2001 S-Type in October with 60,000 miles. After having it looked at and discovering it needed $1,700 worth of repairs, immediately, I'd decided to do what you are now doing, before making a final decision. needless to say, I did not buy my dream car. If this would not be your primary vehicle and you have unlimited income, in these trying times.......... then go after your sexy car.

Replying to: alorasdad (Feb 08, 2009 8:15 am) I agree with previous reply. I bought a 2002 SType new. While still under warranty, I had several leak issues from the rear differential. They finally replaced the entire rear end to resolve the problem. Then, the year after my warranty expired, at 75000 miles, I had to replace all 8 of the injector ignition coils at a cost of $2000, and a couple months later the transmission went out which cost another $5000. I now have 97000 miles on it and so far, so good. A piece of advice I wish I had followed.....buy an extended repair policy if you can get one. The car is the nicest looking and riding car I have ever owned (still looks and drives like new) but the repair costs are a killer. Replies to this message: oldcem (Feb 08, 2009 8:36 pm)

Replying to: ron6962 (Feb 08, 2009 8:59 am) Sound advice. I've owned 3 Jaguars now - 2 X-Types, and, now, an 06 S-Type. These are not cars you want to own unless you have an extended warranty on them. I bought my S from a dealer as a "certified" car with the 6 year - 100K factory warranty..   Regards: OldCEM
#1000 of 1027 DVD AND GPS S-TYPE by cloem Feb 20, 2009 (4:28 pm)
Hello I have the Jaguar S-Type 2001 that comes with CD and burrow ribbon. I asked representative of the Jaguar of I can change the CD and burrow ribbons of the panel for a DVD with GPS navigation. The representative of the jaguar told me that can make that and that compatible DVD is ALPINE IVA W5005 with GPS. I still didn't decide on isso,porque have doubts if she won't bring problems for my Jaguar. Did anybody already make that change in the panel of S-Type?
#1001 of 1027 2005 jag s type by 22swanka Feb 21, 2009 (7:05 am)
never had one and need info. this car was a fleet car. low mileage, 15 k, absolutely beautiful but never owned an import. Is maintainence such as oil change expensive compared to american made? Any pros and or cons from current past jag owners appreciated. Replies to this message: alorasdad (Feb 21, 2009 7:12 am)
#1002 of 1027 Re: 2005 jag s type [22swanka] by alorasdad Feb 21, 2009 (7:12 am)
Replying to: 22swanka (Feb 21, 2009 7:05 am) All parts are more expensive, but a tip. Most can be replaced by Lincoln parts as Jag was owned by Ford but if it is a 2005 that may no longer be the case. I have gotten 4 good years out of mine so far but the tranny started going bad. Don't believe their "sealed tranny" stories, there is a fluid check knob hidden in back and if you don't check it and it gets low it will hurt the tranny (as it did mine).

Replying to: jaglover01 (Feb 13, 2001 2:56 pm) I had a front and rear clunk sound. I replaced the rear suspension damper and the front sway bar frame mount bushings. The car is rock solid now!
