I've worked at a JLR garage I hardly ever saw a problem on these worst failure we had was a tranmision at 100k miles problem is that these tranmision have supposedly lifetime fluid which is far from the truth you still need to change it so people neglect it hence you see transmission failure

[@ColeSo4kt]

don’t know if you’re stil active, but i’m looking at a 03 right now. $500, salvage title, but says it’s just from a deer hitting the passenger side, replaced both doors. i have a newer civic so this would just be a project/weekend car. glad to hear you didn’t see many big issues

[@gregoryturner2468]

Very good information. I've had a 2003 Sport for 3 years and have experienced most of the issues mentioned. It had 175k when I bought it and now has 265k. The CATS suspension is ridiculously expensive to replace for a 2003.

[@MartinSage]

Damn, what is your secret?

[@Romio666]

How much did it cost you ?

[@therickychannel6545]

My first s type was a 2000 with the 4.0. Tensioners were making noise on second day. Tackled the job myself which wasn't that bad. Shortly after that my transmission pooped the bed. 3k dollars for that fix. Kept the car for about 3 years which is long for me. It was comfortable and I already dumped so much money into the transmission I couldn't justify selling it. Second s type was a 2003 4.2v8 sport model. Very sexy. Engine so much more refined. Had the headlight problem that I fixed with a self tapping screw. Leaky valve cover. So much oil on the spark plugs. Coils were dying left and right. Brake problems that were very annoying. Hard to get parts for the sport model since it was rare and had different brakes. An old lady passed out at the wheel and smashed it up. Got it fixed and sold it immediately. Blessing in disguise I guess. Now I'm after a post 2005 R model..... I don't learn

The clutch also was redone a year ago along with a full service, which costed like 1800 euros total (clutch work was 1600), at that point I didnt own the car so atm it really does not have many problems

[@llewellynpatrick160]

Excellent review. I've had a 1999 version for many years now and have seen a few of the problems you've identified. On mine, by far the worst is the rusting of the sills at the rear - definitely worth checking if buying.

[@nikolaigolchev9575]

There is only one true advice which is relevant about the S- type- buy one made after 2004. That is it. Facelift modes are really dependable with a nice looking interior.

[@stevedawson8809]

Excellent! The best used car review I have seen.

[@theonlybantuh]

i’ve had the 2000 s-type v6 model with the beige interior, for me it was pretty much dead reliable. you need to be aware of the size of the car because some times you will bump into something but thankfully it has parking sensors. the wooden trim on the dashboard might crack, the windows regulator might fail or the mechanism might “unstick” from the window so the mechanism goes down but not the window so u have to push it manually up and down. maybe the door handle might break. and it’s a blast and relaxing to drive. it might not have bluetooth but it’s dead easy to retrofit something like a amazon echo car, so even smart. repairs might be expensive where you are ( not the case for me) but with proper,regular maintenance, it will run without problems for long. mine has almost 300000km and nothing major has gone wrong other than basic mechanic maintenance. sometimes you will hear a small humming noise with the suspension but isn’t really bad

[@Databyter]

I just bought a 2001 Type S 4.0. Although I expect this is all good advice, and I bought this vehicle without doing much research and very limited knowledge about Jaguars, I have no regrets at all at having a good example of the earlier version. This is the cleanest used vehicle I have ever seen which is why I couldn't pass it up, and the test drive is what sold me. The suspension is tight and sporty, the engine is quiet and powerful, and in the case of this particular vehicle, it was VERY low miles, and had to have been religiously garaged because it looks and feels like it just came from the showroom floor. I've already had a problem with the power window on the passenger side, and this seems to be a common issue with them wearing out and the glass going off track. I plan to fix it myself. I guess I fell on the wrong side of all the recommendations here, but I don't regret my purchase. So far the car is flawless (besides the minor window issue) and the purchase price was extremely low. I just couldn't pass up the deal. The interior looks brand new. I'm definitely going to baby the engine, mostly just an occasional driver anyway, I am mostly on two wheels unless it's raining or I have passengers. So far so good. For what I paid for it, I really can't go wrong and it's FUN. Databyter

[@ColeSo4kt]

i’m looking at a 2003 for $500. 94k miles, looks to be in great condition and it says it runs. might make the trip to check it out

[@Databyter]

@@ColeSo4kt Take a look at the headliner. I also had to replace that. But between the headliner and the power window and tinting that I wanted to add, that is the only money I needed to put in to mine. It still runs great and everything works.

[@ColeSo4kt]

@@Databyter You said you planned on working on it yourself, is it engineered fairly simple? I don’t have tons of experience but i have a civic that i can figure most things out on

[@Databyter]

@@ColeSo4kt I bought mine because it was clean and low miles (for the year), so I really haven't had to do much to it. The engine compartment looks very crowded so I doubt it would be easy to work on from that standpoint. As far as engineering, it seems fairly straightforward but there is a lot of ECU controlled components like most modern cars, so I would avoid buying one with major electrical issues if you plan on working on it yourself or you are comfortable with troubleshooting electrical problems. But as I said, I have had zero problems everything works. At first the sunroof was not working consistently but I realized that it had simply not been used much so I exercise it. Now it works fairly well. The switches and tracks having been revitalized by normal use.This is par for the course for older or stored cars. I had to replace one of the power window controller/motors, and I had the ceiling liner redone. That is about it, and frankly I had both of those done for me because neither was a strong point for my knowledge base. I had to replace an exterior power window which was really easy, and was due to vandalism, not defect. Databyter

I bought a 2005 S-TYPE 4.2L V8 3 years ago. It was perfect then and exciting to drive. Over the past 2 years, it's had so many issues that it's broke down more than up and running. You name it and I've had to work on it or replace it. It needs when more work done to it including the shocks, ball joints, water pump. I've replaced head gasket, brakes, calipers, auxiliary water pump, heater control valve, radiator, multiple sensors, coils, etc. The headliner is coming apart, the sunroof leaks and no longer works, the paint is fading. Lots of cheap plastic parts and wiring. Buyer Beware!

[@buggs9950]

Check for rust. Check for rust behind the cill covers. Check for rust in the floor pans. Check for rust in the rear subframe, this can be very expensive to have repaired, usually writes one off unless it's a good R model. Check for rust in front of the rear bumper. Did I say check for rust? My 2002 model had serious rust five years ago, absolutely shocking for a modern car really. Apparently they were galvanised from new...

[@BlitzkriegBev]

[@bensonbright]

[@aldizzle4466]

how did it go?

I guess he threw already 10.000$ on it and he is ready for the graveyard

[@mr.t7186]

Sorry, not the right topic but could you please make a review on a Ford Galaxy mk3 2006-2015? I really like your channel. Keep it up!

[@altaybadirov9993]

Excellent review. Thank you.

[@stevest1300]

The video fails to mention that this model of Jaguar was introduced under new ownership by Ford in 1999. The early models still had Jaguar legacy. Tow trucks loved Jaguar before Ford took over. After Ford had a chance to dig into the Jaguar models, they started to put Ford parts in them. The 3.0 is a Ford Duratec, one of the most reliable common and fixable/replaceable engines out there. The transmission is also Ford. It can be problematic, particularly the torque converter. I laugh at people who say a Jag is just a Ford during that era. It's what Jag needed as their cars were expensive junk, pretty much like today's BMWs and Volkswagons. Unfortunately the average Jag buyer wanted status more than good mechanical. Slandering the name of Jaguar with a Ford flag was unacceptable to the average Jag loyalist. The great part about these cars is that they have the comfort, handling, luxury and sex appeal of a Jag but the easy and cheap fixes of a Ford Taurus. Any mechanic can handle these. If you are at all a shade tree mechanic, most of the fixes are doable with a trip to Pep Boys and the beer store.

Tnx you know what your talking about! I have a 2003 Type. S and I bought it with 95,000 miles have changed the heater thing you talked about! Also D front shock absorbers which cost a lot of money! $280 dollars plus installation! Also had other problem w/a leak in the front suspension plus other minor problems like the so called hand brake which is a foot brake but cut the cable now I have an amber light on all the time! And the Transm. seems to smtms not know if to change from first to second gear but only when you let go of the gas pedal and step on it again! Although I now know not to do that and drives fine! But if other people drive it I think it would do it again! Other than that it's been good for quite a while now! I've driven it 35,000 miles w/no problems so far! Knock on wood! However do they all have that pickup or not cz I've heard other people say they have that problem! I took it to a transmission Pl and they said they could not find anything wrong w/it! So if you know anything about this please do tell about it! Thank you for your great video!!!

[@Aluzcz]

Dude, you are the same dude as Visio racer, right? Are you from Czechia or Slovakia?

[@numberstation]

I believe the 2.7 Diesel engine has TWO timing belts which can be quite expensive to change.

[@jacqueshenriot8949]

Very very good job ! Thanks for so useful infos. Could you please tell us with a bit more precision whrer are located the 2 bolds on the Automatic gearbox that can get loose and create issue with the shift ? thanks !!

[@ciucos2]

S-type 2.7 d executive cambio automatico del 2006 ....perfetta in rapporto prezzo/prestazioni. Problemi solo con rivestimento tetto interno molto fragile con distacco e con navigatore che pur con ottimo funzionamento ora non legge i dvd con mappe aggiornate ma solo quelle al 2010. Ottimo video esplicativo peccato manchi la possibile traduzione in varie lingue ( italiano nel mio caso)

[@BV999999]

Never had any issues with rust, 2001 pre-lift Jag, so if it is the case, its not everywhere.

[@drdoc7508]

my father loves his 2007 S-Type. relaiable ford duratec v6

[@zenchilli3905]

So basically buy a facelift model that has been taken care of at least a little bit and you wont have issues Like every other car

[@youtoobe169]

Thanks for these videos

[@gustavososa4364]

Hi guy, thanks for the reviews. You helped my with many cars. Did you check the Rover 75 V6 2.5? Thank you very much for your help!!

[@troybutts6565]

I really like this car, I was recently gifted a 2006 s type with 122,000 miles. Drives smoothly and my interior has held up well, especially after 122,000 miles. However, as a 6'3" man, there is absolutely no room whatsoever in the front or back seats. Even when I lean it all the way back, my knees are pressed against the glove box no matter what I try. I wouldn't even think about taking a 20 minute drive somewhere. guess the car wasn't made for 6 footers lol

[@LifeOnInCline]

Yea these cars definitely don't have space for people above 5'11 😅

[@oseboodigie8406]

What are you doing with the car in the first place? You're 6.3 man 😊

[@cszmotorspreston9758]

I have my eyes on a 2000 s type v6. My only question is, can the radio be replaced with a modern radio? Pioneer or jvc? Need a Bluetooth radio in there. Saw many for the x type but none for the s type

[@letstalkabouttv1784]

[@alandickinson1712]

[@davida7559]

[@Klemmbaustein-Messi]

Thanks alot for this helpful Video, because at the Moment I'm looking for a S-Type. Do you have any information about the engine control light? Because today I checked out 2 S-Type with the 4.2 engine. At both Cars this control light didn't turned off, that's why I didn't bought it, even they are driving without any Problems.

[@walterd.oliverjr.7842]

My 2005 S Type fuel pump is not like the others if you know how to remove it please let me know
