2000 Jaguar S-Type S Type review from North America
"This is worse than the horror stories I had heard about Jaguars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At first there was a small coolant leak on the garage floor. I located the source and in the process of placing a hose clamp on the small by-pass hose the 1/4" nipple (which was made from some form of plastic) broke completely off. Unfortunately this was part of the cooling system manifold which cost $300 to replace.
Both front windows have failed and will not operate.
The shifter is being replaced as we speak for the second time.
General comments?
If not for the 1972 Volkswagen Beetle I once owned this would be the biggest piece of junk that I ever owned. So I guess the UK finally has something to thank Germany for.
I am waiting for Chevy to put 0% on the Tahoe and this piece of junk is out of here.
