Just saying Hi

[Steve076]

Hello All

Just bought an S Type Jag.  And a diesel to boot.   So thought I would sign up and have a browse.  I used to have a 4.0 XJ Sport which I foolishly part exchanged for a newer Mercedes Benz C180 Kompressor.  Possibly one of the larger mistakes of my life... Anyway .. I fortunately convinced the wife that another Jag was the way to go.  She didn't agree at first ... until she sat inside ... then she was sold ... and here we are as they say ... Back in the fold.  And I must say .. the diesel engine is !Removed! good .....

Hi Steve, and welcome to the club.

The s type is a rather good car, and the 2.7 diesel is quicker than many people think.

When I got mine two and half years ago SWMBO said it was outside our budget till she sat in the drivers seat. We bought it less than 5 minutes later!

Treat the engine well -use good fuel, and a good blast on the motorway [which you will enjoy] keeps the EGR valves clean and the engine happy.

Regards,

Peter.
