#998 of 1027 Re: 2000 S Type 45K Miles [alorasdad] by ron6962 Feb 08, 2009 (8:59 am)
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)

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!
#1004 of 1027 Re: '93 XJS Brakes squeal [xjsguy] by davidnga Jul 08, 2009 (4:48 am)
Replying to: xjsguy (Oct 20, 2008 8:20 am) This is probably too little too late but I experienced the same thing with my 2001 S-Type. Had pads replaced and rotors turned but within 2 days the squeal was back. Took it back to my mechanic, he made a call to Jaguar and the reason was the "high speed rotors" were most likely warped. Turns out rotors were supposed to be replaced, not turned(whatever that means) anyway, replaced with "normal" rotors for much less money and problem solved. No noise ever again..except the crunch when I was rear ended by a 1993 Full Size Ford Explorer.. of course the driver had no insurance. thats how I learned all about the computer modules located in the floor of the trunk..and totaled my Jag.
#1005 of 1027 2005 S-Type R by davidnga Jul 08, 2009 (4:49 am)
Currently in talks with dealer for a Jaguar Certified Select 2005 S-Type R to replace my totaled 2001 S-Type. I've read all the post about transmission problems but I had my S-Type for 4 years and only problem I had was a coil in the #6 injector($500.00) and had work done on the AC..that was all...Prior to the Jag, I had a Taurus SHO and probably put $11,000.00 in the engine in a 5 year period. I'm going with the Jaguar.
#1007 of 1027 Jaguar S type by kenberg Jul 11, 2009 (10:21 am)
Hi: I'm considering first Jaguar purchase ... thinking S type. Have seen comments and wonder where in the series the new 'norwegian' transmission came in. Is there a code on the cars to show which trans they have?   What other things, aside from long, strong warranty should I look for?   Ken Replies to this message: alorasdad (Jul 11, 2009 11:20 am) oldcem (Jul 11, 2009 8:12 pm) rmbaker47 (Jul 12, 2009 3:45 pm)
