Good luck that, Pete. I bought my s type just over 4 years with 48k on the clock, and then found out from the dealer/service record that a new engine had been fitted under warrant at 28k miles following an oil pump failure -- it was then owned by the dealer! The only expense other than tyres/servicing etc have been a new water pump and a new battery. Regatrds Peter Lancastrian in Exile.

Pete, use yoiur phone in Bluetooth discovery mode with the car's ignition switched on. If the car has Bluetooth you will see "Jaguar" on your phone. You can retrofit Jaguar's own Bluetooth phone system quite easily of your car proves to be without. Retrofitting the touchscreen is possible but is a real pain in the a**

Given the car a clean and polish as we jag lovers do.... but also spray areas with WD40 to help the old girl which she loves, meter across my battery terminals when running to check alternator is feeding the battery ok, check all oil levels, (oil change not due yet ) brake fluid, power steering fluid, radiator hoses, (looking at colour i may do a complete system flush soon) air filter replaced, spray clean sensors with brake cleaner. when car is running i also take off the vacum pipe from the egr valve and make sure there is vacum sucking from the turbo unit actuator. visual check on front and rear brake pads,+ handbrake rise inside car. replace cabin pollen filter which seats under the plastic windscreen skuttle. ( along with many other checks too ) Then a trip to the fuel station put £30 diesel in along with my additive, and its a blast down the m69 and back home... runs fantastic the cat purrs well. :-)
