Hi Richard, I live in Sutton Coldfield and Karl only operates around that area. The way he works for me is he comes to our house, leaves his car on my drive, takes away my car, does the required work and comes back with my car. If it is a job that can be done on my drive, he comes in his van , does the job, and then he goes. I doubt if he would go to Worcester, Too far, It is worth checking if there is such an operator in your area, as they are usually very well qualified mechanic who prefer to work for themselves instead of a Garage.

Hello everyone. I purchased my first ever Jaguar 2 weeks ago after falling in love with her at first sight. She is a 2012 XF-S 3.0d V6 Portfolio in silver and in immaculate condition. To say I am very pleased is an understatement. Looking forward to settling into Jag ownership and benefitting from the knowledge you guys and girls can share.

As they approach 100k the suspension will usually need looking at, there are lots of joints and bushes to wear out. This can be very expensive if you do it the way Jaguar recommend. There are much cheaper solutions though. A code reader which does all the cars systems is almost mandatory, cheap ones don't. An old XP laptop running SSD/IDS software and a suitable OBD cable sounds extravagant but can be done cheaply if you're careful and will work out to be very good value. You're probably best off reading through the S-type section to get a gist of the common problems. There's lots of good info hidden away in there.

Hi Graham, The s type can get some rust in the sills under the plastic covers. The two petrol engines that you will probably consider are the 2.5 litre V6 and the 3.0 litre V6. Both are very good engines but the 2.5 litre was discontinued in 2004/5. Good luck in your search. Regards, Peter.
