Hi all,

I've had my 2000 Jaguar S-type for a little over a year now. The ball joint and part of the axle is now broken, and the dealership has given me a $1,600 quote to fix it. I've called many other mechanics but they've all replied with "we don't touch Jags". Unfortunate, specially for a student like me! I have to be honest... It probably wasn't the best idea to buy a Jag while in school, but you can't put a price on love can you?

Few scratches here and there, big spot of paint has chipped off and the steel is exposed... waiting to get the car back from the dealership to fix that on my own. Some issues with the DCM, but nothing urgent to fix.

Will be browsing and helping out with any questions as much as I can. Should have a great time learning here!

Picture below is my baby... Stella.

 

Welcome to the forum. I am sure some helpful info will be coming your way. Maybe a post in your area could help you.
Find it odd that a "Mechanic" cannot change a ball joint. Guess that mystical jaguar diamond encrusted joint designed in a secret laboratory scares them off.
