Sounds good Peter, you've got a good one I suspect 👍 The left hand cylinder bank is under the inlet manifold, so sometimes the spark plugs and coils are neglected on this side. But I imagine the Sergeant Major would've made sure these were done properly. If not, the V6 will run rough, as you describe 😉 

 

I will take it to a Jaguar specialist in Rochdale

Steven Haywood is his name I will see what he thinks! 

Keep well

Hi Peter,

I ran mine on standard  unleaded most of the time, with the occasional 'treat' of the higher 97 octane when I was on a longer trip. It's unlikely the better fuel would've harmed her, unless it was a bad batch.

It's arguably more likely she needs a service, do you have a service history and can you see when the plugs and ignition coils were last done?

Good luck, Russ

Hi I'm new to Jaguar!

I have just bought a s type V6 3 L and I was wondering which type of petrol to use. I put unleaded in first the car ran well. So I then put a better type of fuel in to see if I would get better fuel economy. but the car engine light blinks and now is on. When I go up hills the car judders a little. when car is ideling it judders a little. Have I mest up ?
