Ayup from Nottingham! I am a new member and owner of an '06 S-Type 2.7D. I have owned it for about 15 months and have been doing maintenance and other things as I drive it - or when IT decides it needs it! TBH it's only let me down once, but that's once too often really....don't fancy it again!! It's just passed its MOT (only 1 advisory left..), but developed a 'Gearbox Fault' on its way for retest. Only temporarily, but I'm now looking to have a full gearbox service carried out VERY soon!! 1 thing that is really annoying is that the front heated screen has never worked since I've had it. It makes icy winter morning drives difficult to impossible. I have checked several things, fuses, relays, some continuity etc, but I'm drawing a blank. Can anyone point me in the right direction or help please? It's good to be a member of the club at last, I look forward to chatting and learning from you guys and gals. Cheers - Mick PS let me know what you think to the old girl...

Hi All, I use supermarket diesel in my Mondeo 2ltr estate ( sorry hopefully a Jag XF Sportbrake next year! ) and use Cataclean Diesel additive every 4 months. MPG has improved now to 56/ 58 mpg and never had an issue with a failed DPF regeneration. Its quite funny though when it regens, goes a bit sluggish until you put your foot down in 3rd a big cloud of grey soot comes out the exhaust! It then clears and is good again for around another 500 miles or so. Its a 2009 Zetec model by the way with 168k miles on it.
