Default Just bought a 2000 Jaguar S-type 4.0

First time owner of a JAG!
I bought it with 80,000 miles on it, used of course.
Original owner.
The original owner had some problems that were resolved, a new transmission at 34,000 miles, some 9 years ago. Nothing major since then.
I am looking to find 'known issues' with this model, and what to realistically expect.
Can anyone share their experiences with me?
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum,

You'll find some info in the S section, vacuum leaks are one of the most common complaints.

Welcome. I bought a 4 liter S Type about a month ago. Love it. It had a glitch with the heater when I bought it, was a little concerned about it but the Jag dealer diagnosed and replaced a simple little valve for a cost I found more than reasonable. The car is truly excellent. Jag service at least around here is just as excellent. Not a lot of common problems I I've come across in talking to others.
