  1. Roger Even with a new battery, which is good news that the seller replaced it, you should still consider buying a CTEK to keep the battery in good condition. Jaguars are notorious for battery drain. Best Wishes, John
  2. Alexander Underpowered is a subjective matter in my opinion. As much as overpowered could be. As for my 2.5 V6 I can assure you for my requirements of a Jaguar, it is not underpowered. Also I do not like diesel powered cars. It has to be said though that whilst I am still a very keen and active driver I do not do power at my age of 72 years young, like I used to when younger with the likes of Nissan Skylines etc. One R34 GTR I once owned and upgraded was producing some 450+ BHP. Good Luck finding your right car. Regards, John
  3. Alexander Interesting that you eliminated the X Type on the basis of no four wheel drive, as there is a four wheel drive model. Also that you decided on eliminating so much on the S-Type range. I do wonder if you have read much of this forum, because if you have you would have found many submissions on virtually all Jaguar models where owners get problems with all models of Jaguar. Being an S-Type owner I am well aware of how they produce many fault codes. A fairly high percentage of codes often eventually relate back to low battery charge being low. The S-Type is renown for being heavy on battery discharge when not used regularly over a good distance. You would be well advised to invest in a decent Jaguar OBD2 fault reader and a QTEK battery charger/conditioner. That applying to most models but particularly in respect of battery charge for the S-Type. By the way I love my 2005 Facelift 2.5V6 Petrol auto with 65,000 miles, very much, despite the challenges it can regularly present. Enjoy your eventual purchase and take good care of it. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  4. Welcome to the club and life with Jaguar electrics and codes. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  5. Welcome and good luck with sorting your vibration problems. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  6. None of this comes as any surprise about Jaguar. If you have the time you will find very many similar submissions on this forum. It is apparently all part of loving a Jaguar. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  7. I concur with this advice. Details of the vehicle are essential if you are keen to sell. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  8. Dan No matter which you choose if you run a Jaguar it is going to be costly. I have no idea as to what age group you fall into or what you actually want the car for, pleasure or commuting, or if you will be maintaining the car yourself. I am 72 years young and my wife passed away 12 months ago. My S-Type, which is costly to run and maintain is, other than my daughter and grandchildren, the major pleasure and enjoyment of my life these days. My advice, based on knowing nothing about yourself or your reasons for having a Jaguar is, make certain what you buy is the best you can get for the money you are investing and go for the specification you really actually want. Then just get on and enjoy the beast whichever you decide on. Best Wishes and Regards, John
  9. Gerry Good luck, fingers crossed. Best Wishes and Regards, John
