Jaguar S-Type 2.7 diesel 2006
I have just bought an S-Type diesel from Perrys at Huddersfield. So far no problems and it is awsome to drive. I love the looks of the S-Type compared to the new XF. Tom the executive salesman at Perrys was 1st class.

Jaguar S-Type 2.7 D. sport auto 2006
Just bought a Jaguar S type 2.7 D. sport auto after owning for three years 3.0 Jaguar manual (2000). The comfort and elegance of Jaguars are just outstanding. I never had a problem with my first Jaguar apart from sometimes a cold start, that was it. I used to drive it to Europe (Belgium and France) never let me down and always felt fresh after long journey, no backache at all. That’s why I become addicted to Jaguar and will never change to another brand unless I personally have a very bad experience with it. So far, so good! Hence I bought the new one to replace the other one as it was getting old. With the new one, no complaint, the ride is smooth, the accelaration awesome and the look outstanding. Remember this is my first automatic experience, never drove one before and just love it, the gears just move effortlesly, love it! And it’s economical compare to my 3.0 litres petrol. I’d recommend it to everyone who wants comfort and performance to give this car a go. You won’t be disappointed.

Jaguar S-Type Diesel 2006
I purchased a Jaguar S type Diesel in 2006 from H A Fox Southampton and have had nothing but problems with this car up to April 2009. Restricted Performance Problems, Bonfire type problems, smoking from the bonnet even when it was above 5 Degrees C. H A FOX also said this was "Normal" they were unaware that a Technical Bulletin had been issued by Jaguar to deal with this problem, I had to tell them. The problem was that H A Fox continually denied that Jaguar had problems with this vehicle. We have had flat battery problems, for no apparent reason. We had break fault light problems. Ignition key recognition problems, i.e will not disable immobliser. We certainly would not recommend H A Fox, or set foot in one of their showrooms again. However, in total frustration and despertation we took our Jaguar to Harwoods in Chichester, and spoke to Martin, the Service Manager, it was like a breath of fresh air, we told him the problems that we were experiancing, and he immediately told us that he was aware of all of these problems and so were Jaguar. And if we left the car with him he could solve all of the problems, and he did. We were just about to leave for a months touring holiday in Spain and we had lost all confidence in the car, Martin, the Service Manager of Harwoods, said do not worry, he gave us his Mobile telephone number, and said if you have a problem where ever you are in Europe, to ring him and he would help to sort the problem out, (we experianced no problems), He even telephoned us on our mobile in Spain to check that everything was o.k. That is what you call Service, going that extra mile for your customer. I would certainly recommend Harwoods at Chichester. Harwoods have been looking after the car since April 2009 we would now rate it a 5 star.

Jaguar S-Type 2006
Before this week I would have given this car 5 stars but now it is sitting in a garage needing a new engine and would you believe only 14,000 miles on the clock. I bought this car about 18 months ago privately at only 6,000 miles. The warranty expired last January and because I did not use a franchised Jaguar dealer I have little chance of convincing the manufacturer to help me out.

Jaguar S-Type 2006
September 2007 - I purchased a Jaguar S-Type, registered 2006 on a 55 plate from H A Fox Guildford. From the beginning I experienced DPF and cold start problems. The first time the temperature went below 4 Celsius the car smoked like a wet bonfire so much so I had to phone Jaguar roadside assistance, each time this happened I was told it was normal, by both Jaguar and H A Fox. I’m not talking a little smoke it was so thick you could not see out of the windscreen. On November 7th 2008, the car had to be returned to H A Fox to have work carried out on the DPF, the car was returned to me on the 12th November. On the 5th December 2008, (outside temp 3 Celsius I went through the smoking bonfire bit again), I set off on a journey. After a matter of some 5 miles I realised other drivers flashing their lights, they were trying to warn me that the car was leaving a smoke trail, I pulled off the road and the car immediately filled with smoke, at which point someone ran over to the car banged on the window telling me to get out immediately as the vehicle was on fire. I got out and just made it to the other side of the road when whoosh there was a bang and it burst into flames. The fire brigade and Police were called but the car was totally destroyed. I was in total shock, and have suffered post traumatic stress since this incident. This car was still under warranty, but neither Jaguar or H A Fox attempted to instigate a detailed forensic inspection. Their behaviour in this matter has, in my opinion been appalling they did not want to know, and have not offered me any form of compensation for a replacement vehicle.

Jaguar S-Type 2.7 diesel 2006
An excellent finished car no problems with that, but should such a quality car suffer from engine problems? I like many others have experienced smoke and bad odours from the engine - caused I am told by the PDF, which was replaced. Then car went into ’safe mode’ again due to PDF. Anyone else experiencing these problems ? All reports say this is an A1 engine!

Jaguar S-Type 2.7 V6 SE 4dr 2006
An absolutely classy car. Nothing drives like it or gives you that level of refinement and quality.
