Nothing - just routine service.
I run out of superlatives trying to describe this car. Grace Space and Pace.
Its equally happy cruising around the back streets of Edinburgh as it is at three figure speeds on the Autoroutes of Europe.
Acceleration is mind numbingly quick, the beast can zip up to 90 with alarming rapidity in complete silence -alarming because you would think you were travelling at 40mph - not good for the driving licence!!
Finish is excellent all round, inside and out, ergonomicaly - excellent.
You can drive hundreds of miles and emerge refreshed and feel you have hardly driven at all.
I have read all the reviews of the S type on this site and see they either range from bad - to utopia, and a denominator seems to be - troublesome cars seem to be Early six cylinder, North American spec cars, European V8's appear to be less troublesome and more reliable.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one and would find life rather bland without my S type!!
I'm sorry, but the S-Type is a superb car, and if people are happy with them, don't put it down, in the favour of overpriced, mediocre German motors with no passion or spirit!
Jaguar S Types are fantastic cars!

I have owned a 'W' plater V6 manual for the past year - purchased with £36k on the clock and now with £51k on the clock.
I have had no problems and the car drives beautifully. It is quick without fuss when needed or a relaxed cruiser on the motorway. It handles like a smaller, sportier car.
I have owned most badges over the years (including 3 BMWs - last one a 528 which was a nice car), but the Jag (in my opinion) is the best looking saloon car on the road.
The new beemers look seriously contrived and the Mercs, although less slabby now, still don't have the gorgeous curves of the 'S Type'.
But of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so many people will disagree.
However, the £11,000 I paid for a fast, well-appointed, luxury motor in showroom condition is, in my opinion, one of my best buys ever). And it does 29 to the gallon. Only negative is that the dealer servicing is a bit steep.
BMW's current model range makes the S-Type look like a masterpiece. Whilst we are on the subject, have you ever driven an S-Type R?
