S-Type R, New to ownership, what should I look out for?

[A-Knight]

Hi everyone,

I've only just purchased my S-Type R so I'm looking for some advice please.

My first post on here was asking about the music system as I'd love to upgrade it, had two lovely answers and I've taken both onboard (thank you very much), I've also ordered the plug in that's arriving tomorrow, so I'm really hoping that gives me a start.

I've had an S-Type before but it was the early 3.0 manual, gold with silver 18" Audi Rota style alloys (looked gorgeous), went the usual way of MOT failure with the sills etc.

I've just bought my R this month, the sills have been done thankfully, and the supercharger has been serviced (and now has the smaller pulley), I'm a bit concerned about the gearbox though, what's the service procedure for these, and any tell tale signs of any issues?

I'm not used to these, my previous auto was an Audi S5, compared to this, that had a much longer gear ratio. Just unsure right now. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated please?

 

Thank you,

Ava
