Thank you for the friendly replays I was under the illusion that the 04 facelift cars were better but i still should be worried about the lurch/gearbox. Believe it not the parts are not that expensive compared to my M3. Not driven the cars yet as they have not been through there prep going back next week to have a go...should be fun.

Hello everyone, I am a new member and in the market for an S-type-R looking to trade in my E46 M3 due to needing more door as I am having my first child, also the M3 costs a fortune to maintain. I have been down to swallow jaguar today to look at two black ones that they have for sale the cars look good and had no issues that I could see. I have done plenty of reading on the internet and see that the s-type can suffer with electrical gremlins and the 'lurch' would there be any other common issues that I should be looking at?. The car I like has 65k on the clock and is 04 facelift should there be any major maintenance that should of be carried out by now e.g. belt/chains things like that. Thank you for reading and sorry for all the questions.. Ben
