Just a thought..........

I bought a 1999 T reg petrol for a few hundred quid and, after getting used to the jaguar comfort decided to punt £4500 on a 06 2.7d.

Excellent car and no bother as the T reg had a few "niggles"

Why not increase your budget and get the best you can.

There's a garage in Ellesmere Port that has a 55 reg 2.7d for 5k, one owner and100k milage.

Have you got any reports on the 2.5 v6 engine box ect are they reliable

Trouble is now Pete is getting hold of saw dust

Hi Phil,

 

A friend of mine bought an s type brand new in 1999 with the 2.5 litre engine.  It gave him no problems.  The same engine is fitted in the X type, one of which I had, and I found it quite economical and never game me a problem..

 

Peter.

 

P.S.  I have quite a lot of sawdust --  applewood mostly - which is used regularly     ---------   for hot smoking fish!

Hi Phil I bought a 53 plate 2.5 last april so had it a year now.133000 miles and she runs like new so smooth and quiet.
