The fact that it is still for sale says something about either the price, condition or both ! Sounds like about £2k tops to me ! I would not pay anywhere near the price of a 4.2 for a 4.0 myself, as I have mentioned previously. The 3.0 V6 is a good engine, once again I would always go for the 2002 facelift cars with the 6 speed auto and electronic parking brake.

Welcome to the Club, Mark. You have a very nice car and you have taken the trouble to have the ceramic paint protection system, which does last quite a long time. The dealer is quite right is saying that all you need to do is use plain water. I had my [then] 6 years old s type in Indigo Blue given a paint protection coating 3 years ago, and when washing it I use the three bucket system. A gentle wash using a microfibre cloth, and then a second bucket just to make sure you haven't missed anything. The third bucket is a good rinse. I always use microfibre cloths, or cleaning "sponges". I then dry the car using a towel from Halfords specifically made for the purpose, I was advised by a professional detailer not to use a chamois leather. Lambs wool is said to be good, although I have never used it. My car sits on the driveway and is our daily ride. I hope this has been useful. We do make good cars in the West Midlands! Regards Peter, Taken after rain - my s type, the reflection on the bonnet, and the third is a close up of the bonnet after rain.

here is a picture of my egr valve before, and then after a good clean. fit it all back then book your car in for a terraclean. then notice the difference.
