Six-cylinder

Recommended Posts

2000 Jaguar S-Type

 

3.0i V6 240 bhp 5 speed Auto

 

97,000 miles MOT 4th Oct 2019

 

Ex Wurum, Stephen01

 

Looks fantastic, drives beautifully, smooth, powerful and quiet.

 

Cams are chain driven no belts

 

Being pre emission for tax just £155 for six months or £255 for 12 months

 

V5C in my name, get you home tax

 

 

Not so Good

 

Cassette part of the radio does not work (what a disappointment this was when I got my Morse tapes out to listen to in my Jag)

 

I have had to top up the power steering reservoir

 

I have had to top up the header tank with half a Ltr

 

Headlights aim low, leveling does not seem to work so I added a screw as per youtube to do it manually but this has not solved it.

 

Headlights need polish

 

Central locking does not work, one key that operates driver’s door, reach across for the other doors and release buttons for boot and fuel cap that work fine.

 

A few minor dings and chips on paintwork

 

Few small splits in interior plastics if you are being picky

 

No record of last service

 

Steering wheel slightly at an angle but car drives in a straight line.

 

I was told when I got it “the air con doesn't work- prob just a regas”

 

 

For sale due to the first catch of 2019.

 

Usual help with collection from local railway station etc

 

£375 collect Buckingham MK18

I also can't have that hugo suit, enjoying loss of sleep and saving for two heads and an auto box*.

 

* I'm sure it'll be fine*.

 

The missis knew this was coming. Fortunately I just missed out on a mid life crisis Z3 summer smoker as the bids went too high for it had 'issues'.

 

Her reaction tonight was... "For fucks sake (insert name here)". Then I proceeded to explain that if we can daily a V8 discovery, this will be a doddle. "Then you've got to get it MOT'd" was her reply... "Already covered" I said. 

Then she asked if it was an auto to which I confirmed it was. "So I can drive it then"? "Yes, yes you can dear... I'm off to make a cup of tea now and have a lie down".

 

Went well I reckon.

Shits just got real. Spent 2 hours of my life wasting it on looking at insurance quotes. I also found out a new feature... if you dick about with them to make them cheaper have to change details entered incorrectly a few times then you can get 'barred' from buying from that insurer online! Highest over 3 grand, lowest just over 500. That's too dear for someone like me with my exemplary driving record, they're taking the biscuit!

 

In feeling hard done by I rang my current insurer who's doing it for another £65 over what they were doing the touring at which totals just over 400 quid with national recovery to home. 12/10 will use again.

 

BRING IT ON!
