Default RE: Should I go for 03 S-Type R

Hi there, thanks a lot for every info u guys sharing, my car is right now in service for all liquids change,polishing and tommorrow I will take it if registered. At service I complained on brakes-didnt seem to work properly (shaking during brake) so they will check it and most probably change pads.
(dont understand why if used only 1500 kms)
Take care!

Just curious nico, are up north of the US or are you on the other side of the pond? I ask because you are using kms, which we don't use here in the states.

I replaced my factory pads with Kevlar and get a much better feel and much less vibration and noise not to mention no dust.
The factory Brembo pads are very soft and dusty.
Let us know when you get it and post some pics!

Momo, yes u are right ,I am on the other side of the pond. I couldnt log earlier cos so busy and all this thime missed the forum! Strange, I feel I am now addicted to forum!
Bad Mojo I think something more serious gone bad with those"new" brakes and hope they resolve this.
my car still at service for polishing. If u guys had same car(4 years in garage) what would you think is necessary to change and do on the car? I asked for all oil changes(incl.transmission),they also said they will check all "seals" and change them if necessary. The guy who sold me the car(jaguar agent) is nice and very helpfull and told me if I think anything more should be done then he will see this to be done but honestly I dont know what to ask for! I still have couple of days cos weekend so pls advice. I cant wait to get the car, unpatiened like a child! will post pics soon.
