Hi Guys. Thank you for your replies, I am definitely leaning towards a Jag, (At the moment I tow with a Vauxhall Omega, lovely towing motor) I have the chance of getting an S type, but he says that it has a Ford 2.5 Diesel engine in it, I am a bit concerned, can you marry up a Ford 2.5 Diesel with a Manual Jag gearbox, and will the engine torque to gearbox be ok. in my mind it must be a bit of an hybrid, but I am ignorant to Jaguars, so comments on this point would be much much appreciated.. One of my mates has just bought an X Type on a 2002 plate for £1800 and its a lovely car, do they usually go that cheap or is that about the going price. Regards to All John
