Hi fellow Jaguar Owners.

My name is Steve and I own a 2007 S-Type 2.7 Diesel V6 Auto Twin Turbo. It has unfortunately been diagnosed with can Oil Seal leak from the Gearbox. The local Dealership has quoted £890.00 including labour to fix it. A new sleeve seal is required plus an Electrical Plug. They say they have to dis-connect the the Gearbox hence the time on labour. Does that sound a reasonable price or am I being taken for a mug?

Hello, Steve,
I agree, that price sounds a bit steep. Our Very active S-type section will be able to help you with whatever questions you might have regarding your Jaguar.

Someone will be along shortly to direct you there.

Welcome to the forums from ElinprB.

Welcome to the forum Steve,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

A Jaguar Dealer will quote you the Jaguar 'allowed hours' for the work multiplied by their hourly rate plus parts at retail. As such, not an unexpected total but you could have it done for less using an Independent Jaguar specialist or considerably less by DIY.

Follow this link S-Type / S type R Supercharged V8 ( X200 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link UK & Eire - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome to Jaguar Forums Steve,

Good to have you with us.
Normally just the sleeve is needed the plug is retained, the gearbox sump needs to be dropped but not the box.
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.
If you need help with getting around and using the forum follow this link for some help Forum Help
