Description
For sale is my 2004 3.0 V6 petrol, Jaguar S-Type Sport manual. The car has 10 months MOT, a fresh service with full service history and is ULEZ. The cars options are: Emerald Fire Green metallic paint, Champagne interior with Aluminium inserts, Sport pack with 18 inch Triton wheels, Manual gearbox, Touchscreen nav system, Xenon headlights, heated front windscreen, auto lights, front and rear Parking Sensors, and the Premium Sound Alpine HiFi stereo. I purchased the car in January 2023 to use for my new job but have since moved to fully remote and so the car has been surplus to requirement since. The car needed the electronic parking brake addressing when I purchased it, this is a very common issue and was fixed with replacing the parking brake module with a new one from Jaguar, as well as replacing the caliper. Another issue was the car running rich but not throwing a check engine light. All four O2 sensors were replaced with Original Denso sensors. Sadly, the car had been running rich for too long and had damaged the catalytic converters, so these were also replaced on both banks. I've had both the gearbox oil and differential oil replaced as well as the brake fluid. The car has also had, new Original ignition coil packs and spark plugs, new intake manifold gaskets, new front discs and pads, the rears also are quite new. Four new Michelin PS5 tyres with alignment. These cars also suffer from parasitic drains which can leave the battery dead within a week. I had the headlights polished as they were getting cloudy and this caused one of the bulbs to fail. I replaced the ballast with a used Jaguar part, a new Hella igniter and Phillips xenon bulb. This fixed the headlight but also fixed the parasitic drain. I did also replace the battery with a new one when I first purchased the car. As you can see, I've addressed most of the issues these S-Types have. However, there are still some issues as you would expect with a car this age. The corners of the front driver and passenger doors do have some slight bubbling from corrosion, as well as around the kickplates in the rear doors. The car also has a scratches on the rear bumper and a stone chip on the drivers door (See pictures). The headliner is also sagging, another common issue. Mechanically, the only "issue" is a wheel bearing that has started to make some noise at 30mph. Reason for selling is house purchase. Please feel free to message me with any questions.
