I bought a S-Type based on the recommendation from my friend.  He had owned one for over 2 years and there had not been even smalll problem, let alone big ones.  He said he had owned over 100 ...

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 recommended for Jaguar?
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.  Ja ...

The Spark Coil is not difficult to indentify failure. He changed only one unit to save your money. They were all fine when you got back the car. But it is likely that the lifetime of the spark coil are same. So another one fail soon after the first one. And that also why Jaguar recommend you replacing 6 coils together.

As a 00 car with a mileage 47K, the spark coil failure came quite early. Finger crossed, it did not fail in any other electronics. As I know Jaguar and also other european cars require reprogramming the ECU sometimes. I wonder there is any workshop able to do that. My friend is fixing a Maserati too.

The fuel filter was dirty! It should not caused by your driving habit. Even if you did not drive till empty, the petrol is suck ing from the bottom of the fuel tank. If your mileage is ture, it should not be a crossboarder car. And it should not use any dirty petrol. Normally, the fuel filter should not need to change untill 100Km.

I also very curious which car is the longest period your friend own? And how long?

One thing worry me about your dirty filter and your mechanic's words. Is there any contamination in your fuel tank. It is very less likely to happen in a relative new car. And even an old car but used frequently. It only happened to a rusted car. Like my friend's Maserati.
If so, it need to clean thoroughly. Otherwise replace fuel filter(S) and fuel pump(S).

Hong Kong fuel co are selling Octane 98 gasoline. Expensive and cheap are also 98. Ture!
The expensive gas can reach a higher mileage indeed. Some brand gas is added with protective additive.
There should be no different in term of maintenance of your cars.

The fuel tank can drained and clean easily. For safety reason, it is better do it by your mechanic.

It can be rusted if it was not used for 1 or 2 years. I don't think a S-type is used for maid's shopping even in mid-level. I suspect it is a car brought for the wife but she do not enjoy driving or traveling in Hong Kong. Especially, this size of cars is not friendly to a short chinese lady. And many people do not like to hire a driver because of privacy. So the S-type is stationed for a long time and sold. The appearance of the car is protected by paint but the tank is just steel. (there is some trucks with plastic tanks)

Better talk to your mechanic, gas station should equipped primary petrol filter. So the dirt should be inside the tank already.

It is possible that the petrol station using broken filters and contaminated fuel. I heard that kind of story too. Although it is not likely to happen, try changing gas filling station. And see whether it is improved.
I have not use ESSO in my life.

S-type indeed is not a bad car. It is a symbol of success, tradition but not compromise. 2008 model is comming and look young too.
