S Type v8

[Diddler]

Any one with comments on V8, my son is thinking of buying one.

Thanks.

Absolutely love mine, I've had it about a year and apart from the aircon computer going AWOL it's been faultless.

 

you're better off with a 4.2 than a 4.0 as they had a few potentially expensive faults to do with the cylinder liners and cam chain guides. Also you get the ZF 6 speed box.

 

Mine averages 28 mpg but will manage 34 on a run

 

Goodyear tyres can be had for £135.00 each

 

I've just been quoted £260.00 by the stealership for the 10 year service including the plug change which was £40.00 cheaper than E&E, the local specialist!!
