I was just about to post the same question.
Is there any other places prone to rust,
I understand the rear subframe can be bad. Is this something that can be checked with the car o.n the ground

Thanks for the input guys.
Gave me somethings to think about.
Been having a browse through the car classifieds and seems there are a lot more diesels than petrols out there.
Still early days.

Well after a few weeks reading through this forum and others ... struggling to decide.
I was originally looking at getting 2.7D s-type. Greater choice Hadnt worked out what trim yet but no matter.
Then unfortunately I googled S-type diesel problems and came up against the dreaded DPF problems which seem to effect lots of Oil burners these days.
I don't do a lot of miles and my daily commute is about 5 miles each way. The last 2 diesel I had didn't have DPF filters but were barley warm during the winter months when I arrived in my works carpark.
So would I be better of looking for a petrol powered s-type. Would have to be the lowered taxed better fuel economy models though.
On the other hand I can change my route to work and travel on motorways for a few miles longer to let the car heat up. Plus I can always take the car a thrash it up to 70 mph evrey few days to help out.
So any suggestions, comments etc to help me on my way.
Thanks

Hello my good friends.
Much to my wifes' displeasure I seem to have taken a keen interest in buying a Jaguar.
Had first started looking at an X -type but realised S types were within my grasp.
Spoke to my brother who has had 2 XFs and is know looking at the F -pace. (Got to love people who can get any company car they want.)
So having a trawl through the forums and know doudt ending up with more questions than answers .
Will be in touch soon.
Garry
All set for winter
