It has the 3.0 petrol engine and that should be 140mph rather than 170! She’d try it though. 

My cat is definitely a “he” and he’s called Big Willy!

Thank you 

Peter, I thank you for your kind words and wisdom. I will let my mother know that one of her contemporaries shares a passion for adventure! I did warn her against testing the 170mph limit of the S-Type. Her response: You know that I have a heavy foot. 

Ok club members, I’m hooked. I brought my first Jaguar, a 2006 S-type and a real beauty (see photo #1).  My 83y.o. mother saw photos of it and wanted one for her own. I should add that I’m in London and she’s in Indiana. So being the good (and only) son, I bought her a 2006 S-type. It needed quite a bit of attention and I’ve made sure that is sorted. She loves it! (See photo #2) The interior leathers will get a good clean and conditioning in a fortnight. Now for my dilemma.

I am thinking of another purchase. This time a 2010 XF. I haven’t found the right one yet but I’m looking. Have I lost my mind? Clearly there’s no cure. 

Welcome Samuel! I hope that you get as much joy from your S-Type as I do. All the best, Gary

I'm happy to report that my new-to-me S-type passed his MOT today with no issues, too. A very good feeling.

Not used them myself, but some mixed reviews on Google

Thanks Steve, I think that I'll look elsewhere as I wasn't impressed when I rang them previously. The google reviews certainly reminded me of my initial experience. Ta

Has anyone had any experience using JLC in Herne Hill, southeast London? I'm looking for a dependable service provider for my S-Type. 

Looks lovely. Enjoy!

Welcome Lee!

Hi Gary, 

I got the full spec of my s type from a site called   Vindecoderx  which detailed the basic spec  plus the factory fitted options extras.  Sometimes, however it does not work.

Peter.

Peter, I also tried that site. It claims (wrongly) that my VIN is for an X type with 174k miles! Thankfully Joe has helped me and it's all sorted now. Thanks to all for the advice. 

Gary

Thank you Steve. 

Joe, I have actually tried TOPIX without success beyond the basic info, e.g. Year and Model. I will pm you once I figure out how to do so! G

As many of us, I want to know the original specifications for my S-type and have followed the suggestions posted here. However, I have not had any success. Rather, my polite requests have been met with a surly telephone service rep telling me that the information could not be circulated outside of their workplace and absolutely no response to emails sent to other dealerships. Perhaps it is typical of living in London that one should expect shoddy customer care. 

That stated, if anyone has any other suggestions I would welcome the same. (I've also paid one of those online VIN services but it failed to provide any information beyond the most basic.)

I agree with all the advice given, it sounds like an engine mount to me too. 

Paul, she looks a beautiful machine! Glad that you were able to finally post the photos.

Hi Steve,

I had the same problem  ---  I found that I was in Belgium!  

Felt a bit of a nana  --  I reset the map.

Regards,

Peter. 

Peter,

This piece of advice has very likely saved me time and angst! I read this before I decided to programme the sat nav yesterday. When I deleted all the saved destinations, home, and memory points and rolled it back to factory settings, I found myself in Belgium! No panic, I simply selected the U.K. and continued without missing a beat. Many thanks! Gary

Welcome Paul and Trish

Please post some pics of your machine. I'm a newbie myself but there's plenty of knowledge within the group.

Smaller, true but yours has a sunroof and mine does not.
