My first question is ALWAYS, when was the fluid/filter last changed???????.
Both mine did that when first in the fleet, but numerous (6 or 7) fluid drop and refills over a 6 month period, has seen it all but GONE.
The torque convertor is the prime suspect, and this fluid refresh may sort it, and it may not. Your car, your choice.
There is a write up on this by "me" at the top of this section, have a read, make a decission.

That is NOW classic coils/spark plugs, AND that easy (NOT) elbow under the lower inlet manifold.
How many miles/kms on this beast???????
The trans fluid drop and refill at least, is still #1 on my to do list with any S Type with the 5 speed unit.

you can test each coil with a COP tester or the coils can be "stress" tested at the dealership - Ford or Jaguar

Fisrt- check coils and spark plugs. If they are working properly, then adress the gearbox. Change the oil and the filter. Those should solve the problem. Flat battery is not a valid source of this problem. It could cause all kinds of electric malfunctions, but it could not cause your car to run on 5 cyliders.

Let's see. On 2/3/2013 I replaced all of the coil packs on my 01 S-Type 3.0 with coil packs that I bought on eBay for a grand total of $59.69. Nearly two years later, still runs like a charm and those "risk" based coils packs are a great value.
In fact, here there are available now:

I had that problem but it was very clear that it was cutting out - loss of power and obvious missing, which was cleared up by coil replacements. It wasn't a vibration but an obvious jerking as the cylinder misfired. I too have have a subtle vibration depending on vehicle speed/gear and was going to have my wheel balance checked first. There's no comparing the two if you have something similar to the latter; not at all like a misfire.
