I agree with old Peter's Comments.. If you can’t do the 40 minute run you will find that most people on here will recommend the. C-tec charger as the best one to use. Dave

Welcome to the club, Rob. I have had my s type [2007 2.7D] for seven years. Like you, I wanted an s type for many years but I was hindered by a shortage of cash, then buying a house, and then luckily having company cars for 29 years. A great car to drive. A little advice was given to me, and I will pass it on to you, as it works for me. Always use premium fuel which is good for the engine. I also use an additive, Millers Diesel Eco plus every fill up, which keeps the Diesel Particulate Filter and the EGR valves clean. I am told by an AA engineer that the 2.7 diesel would like a 40 minute drive every week which keeps the battery well charged. Batteries on the s type last about five years, and if not kept charged the electronics in the s type will give you a bit of trouble. I think you will enjoy the s type - Grace, Pace and Space, Regards, Peter,

Hello, thanks for your reply. The seats are fine, its just the steering wheel, the surface has actually worn off, and looks awful. When I had the Rover 75's, I used to dye the wheels on those, it looked very effective. Ill just have to find a dye that matches the best I can. Is it beige, or sandstone, or cream, or...🙂 Ill also have to look at insurance - my current company company absolutely assaulted me with a "we dont really want to cover you" price, but I'm sure I can do better, if I can find a way to cancel my current policy part way through. A couple of niggles to look at, but all in good time.
