Hi Stan and Peter Many thanks for taking the trouble to respond to my first post. Much appreciated. It's likely that I'll be moving on from S-Type to XF 3.0 Portfolio Sportbrake in June. It'll be a sad day when I part company with the S-Type. It's been a good, and almost totally reliable friend. It was one of the first off the production line when I purchased it in April 1999. Expensive then, and pretty much valueless now - I've been offered just £1,000 in part exchange for the XF. And that despite its low mileage of just 78,000, its outstanding condition and its full Jaguar service history. I'm of a mind to hang on to the S-Type and await Classic recognition! Peter
