Hi just joined and popped in to say hello,

First time I've owned a jaguar, bought a 05 s-type wanted one for as Long as I can remember, so took the plunge, and bought a 2.7 diesel twin turbo S, loving every minute of it, apart from the frequent trips to the petrol station lol,

Hope to get involved fully in the forum

Hi Paul, and welcome to the club.

 

The S Type is a great car to drive and does turn heads, even round here where they are made.

 

I am rather surprised that you are visiting the Petrol Station a lot, as I am finding the 2.7D engine rather frugal.

 

A lot depends on driving techniques as well as the fuel you are using.  Also, it is worth having the Terraclean service, which for about £125 is well worth the money.

 

I usually use Shell V Power and normally get around 28 mpg driving in the city and short journeys, but I do get in the high forties on long journeys, and I had 50.3 mpg driving from here to Sheffield.

 

Regards,

 

Peter. 

Cheers Peter will look into the terraclean service.
