Heater fan broke - bad connection on relay, fixed
Clock light faulty, PCB fault have not repaired (yet)
Rear screen needed re-bonding
Central locking sometimes intermittent on rear doors.
Excellent ride and handling, interior is a pleasant place to be, very "gentlemans club". Seating is not as comfortable as you might expect on long journeys. "Leather" interior is only leather facing on the seats, the rest is vinyl.
Performance not as quick as I expected, and is significantly slower off the line than the XJS 3.6 or 4.0. Not the sweetest of 6 pot engines, although this is offset by *very* good sound insulation.
Wind and road noise probably very good for its day, but most modern saloons can match the car in terms of noise, at cruising speeds.
I have an XJ40. I've had it since 2001. It is a 1992 model. It's has never broken down.
I may add I've got it to this day, and it starts on the first turn of the key. It also has over 250000 miles on it, and burns no oil and loses no water.
All the electrics are good, down even to its climate control.
A great car, which is now in my garage as I plan to keep it as a classic.
However, my S Type is a car. I hope it treats me as good as my XJ40.
Bumble.
