Welcome to the club, Cameron. I have an S Type Diesel [07 plate] which I have had for just under 9 years. I have had a mild puff of fumes on the odd cold days, but as a retired person I can choose the time I start the engine. Luckily, I was given some very good advice when I first got my car, and mostly about fuel and what best to use. I was advised to use Premium fuel preferably Shell and to ensure that the exhaust system should be kept clean. [I live 500 yards from a Shell Service station]. My exhaust is a stainless steel one and I make sure that I have a good additive to make sure the exhaust from engine to the fresh air. I sometimes get the yellow light which I cure. Three months ago the AA diagnosed the problem as EGR valves but my mechanic felt that the exhaust system should be cleaned which he got an expert to spend a day cleaning the whole exhaust system which made the engine like new. I am not an expert for engines with my tool kit consisting of a lump hammer and a spanner, so I do feel that your knowledge will be very useful to many of our members, some of whom are very knowledgeable. Enjoy you car, Regards, Peter.

Welcome to the Club, Lawrence. Luckily I have rarely had the smell of fumes inside my s type. I wonder if Geoff still gets the fumes. Having a good mechanic can save a lot of money. Regards Peter.

Welcome to the Club, Peg. Nice car and a nice view. Bill Lyons, who was the very first owner of Jaguar Cars said "Grace, Pace and Space". Enjoy. Peter.

Welcome to the club, Ambrosian, Firstly I think that a 2004 s type would have a 2.5 litre petrol engine which would probably return 32 mpg on a motorway towards London from Southampton which is not too bad. Secondly, you will have to mark down the traffic level on that road. My s type is a diesel with a 2.7 litre engine which on one occasion on a motorway with a speed limit of 50 mph due to road works gave me 50.2 mpg and 46 mpg on a different route on return. A round trip on the M1 and the M1 & M42 return - a 190 round trip. A petrol engine with a similar car would at best been around 35 mpg. Regards, Peter.
