I'm sorry if my previous comment has taken this thread away from its original direction. I'm not being in any way provocative or judgmental. I don't have the re-map but I do have lots of other mods which are declared to my insurers and would be interested to see which, if any insurers were more leniently disposed to modifications than others with a view to saving money

How much extra do your insurers charge please Martyn?

Dear Walter, Why stress yourself so. If you heed all the above encouraging and positive responses you might eventually realise that a Forum is principally to support members with problems. Your 2.2d doesn't appear to have any problems, indeed you say that it's behaving 'OK' and you seem to be enjoying it. Do it. Love it. Take it to Ireland in August. The words 'mountain' and 'molehill' spring to mind. Bless your Jag and all who travel in her. Rowley

I bought a 2.7 deisel on an 04 Plate, 3yrs ago. Over the first year I spent almost as much on repairs as I did on the purchase! However, since then (last two years) the car has been faultless, returns 38+ mpg combined, and is a joy to drive. My first jaguar was one of the original Mk 2s ~I'm in my 70s ~ and I always promised myself to buy another when I retired. My advice to anyone looking to buy an S type: have deep pockets, buy the best model you can afford, put right anything that needs fixing, regular maintenance and enjoy.
