Thank you very much for your comment on S-type.
There are several questions:
1. What are the minor problems with your S-type?
2. How do you fix them?
3. Do you have any reliable workshop ...
4. Do you go back to Inchcape for annual inspection?
5. Fuel consumption for 00 S-type?
6. Current mileage?
7. If you friend own over 100 private cars before, he should not able to drive each of those cars more than 50,000km. i.e. Some of his cars did not meet the maintenance schedule and sold. Right?
1 & 2. the coil. I took it to my mechanic in Sai Kung to fix it. He replaced one coil and the problem still existed. Thought it was something else and took it to Jaguar for checkup. Jaguar recommended replacement of 6 coils which my mechanic was reluctant to do, saying that it is unlikely that all six will break at the same time. He tried one after another and finally replaced two. If he had replaced all six as per recommendation by Jaguar, the probelm would have been fixed instantly.
3. I think he won't cheat me, but I had some doubt on his ability because I had to take my car back a few times. It recurred last week after the service, and it turned out that the fuel filter was very very dirty. It was all my fault. I very often refill petrol when it's down to the last drop.
4. No.
5. According to the trip computer, it's around 15 litre per 100 km. city driving in normal traffic. To Airport - 9 litres per 100 km. But it's a different story at the pump. I had been tracking consumption between the pump and my trip computer and I always got over-charged around 5% to 7% by Esso. I tried so many different Esso gas stations and they're all the same. I did this before the press reported it and I did complain to the stations and said I would report it to the consumer concil. A month ago, at the station at Kai Tak (towards tunnel), the guy pulled the pump out but had trouble in opening up the fuel cap. Before they put the pump in, I saw the metre was already at 60c. I asked them why I have to pay for the 60c when nothing is put into my fuel tank. The guy gave me the mumbo jumbo which of course does not have a leg to stand on. The manager was really scared and offered to give me $10 to $20 extra petrol as compensation.
6. I bought it when it was 31K and now it's 47K
7. I didn't go into details of his ownership habits. I think he keeps the cars for 3 years or less. He owned multiple cars and all were immaculately maintained. I bought one from him 25 years ago - a 3 year old car but looked like new.
