Love your Jag

Hi Pete I have begun to enjoy the Jaguar experience today with a fantastic drive out in glorious sunshine. Truly stunning performance from such a big 4 door salon together with comfort and luxury. First car I have owned that not only turns heads but attracts good comments from friends family even total strangers!

One down side unfortunately the AC does not appear to be working :(

Will ring the dealer tomorrow for advise as it comes with six month warranty.

Peter,

 

Our nearest John Lewis is 65 miles away , don;t know who Harvey nicks or Jaeger are, but are probably in Exeter. M&S just sell junk and rely on their overpriced supermarket food to keep going,

 

We do have a posh (expensive) dead animal shop on Exmoor though .

ATB,

 

Trevor

 

P.S. My other half would find somewhere to spend money on new years eve in a morgue !

I waited till I was 52 before I bought an S Type (only a couple of weeks ago) its a 3.0 Sport and that little 'S' button by the gear stick frightens the beejeezus out of me!  Why oh why did I wait so long.

Kevin,

 

Like the S type, it looks like a proper Jag, reminds me of the mark 2.Morse would have one today if he was still alive .

 

That is one of the reasons I got rid of the XJ Supersport, 'er indoors said it didn't look like a proper Jag, brilliant car though .

 

What double post? you are seeing things, I blame that "S" button !

 

ATB,

Hi Kevin,

 

You must learn to embrace the Sport button, it is your friend, and will only enhance the general Jaguarishness of your S-Type.

 

Remember Grace, Space & PACE

 

Cheers,

 

Mike

Lol, cheers guys. I'll fill her up this weekend and find a suitable place to let her loose with the 'S' button activated. Probably a quiet part of the local bypass at 2 in the morning!

Trevor, that's how rubbish I am with computers, I thought I had posted the same post twice but obviously I was wrong. I'm good at that though,... being wrong...just ask the wife!

The acceleration between 30 and 70 with the S button [2.7 diesel] is tremendous.  I hesitate to think of how fast the car will go. BUT remember you must put more pressure into the tyres -- from 31 to 38 psi in my case.  I have never gone that fast, ---  over 70 is difficult as I have a speed limiter on the front passenger seat.

Yes, I can sympathise, I have one of them. Is the type that clenches the seat then gives you a verbal warning?

I'm not sure either, but what I do know is it seemed to still be accelerating reasonably briskly at 150 a few months ago in Germany. Hadn't raised the tyre pressures but it didn't seem fazed in any way.

 

Cheers

I used to have a Range Rover and the wife and me went looking for a cheaper car to run, anyway we came across this lovely 2002 grey 3.0 S Type Jag, it was a bargain, infact it was a sold as seen with 123000 miles under its belt, you may think with those miles and that many owners it would be noting special, wrong, there is not a blemish on the paint work and inside its like new, but i did have to change 3 wheel bearings, fantastic car, and i don't have to fix anything every weekend like i did with the Range Rover

The S Type is a great car, both in style and to drive.  I have had mine for over a year, and other than an Oil change I have spent nothing on it.  A sticky handbrake was cured by disconnecting the battery, and an EGR problem was cured by giving the car a good burst of speed on the A38.

 

The 2.7 diesel has given me a good fuel consumption figure - the best being 53 mpg on a 100 mile trip, -  usually about 46 mpg.

 

Great Car.
