Friend had an S type like that one, when it was new. Front right wheel bearing failed suddenly, when the car was only 3 years old w/ 60,000 miles on it, while he was driving it, He found out, when he saw his right wheel rolling out ahead of him!
How do you like the Lincoln ls v8 03 to 06 version I have a Lincoln ls v8 with 160,000 miles on in I wanna know if it worth fixing up just need some plastic pipes replaced an spark plugs an Ignition coils.
Hi Scotty, What's your opinion about the 2000 Jaguar XJ?
Scotty Kilmer will you ever show a Lexus LS?
I have a civic 04 that has a broken ac line. In the summer the commute gets hot without ac. Would you recommend fixing the ac or getting a portable 50$ ac unit that i can just plug in?
Scotty: Here's a Jaguar that I'd buy!
Me: Man 2020 is getting weirder and weirder.
The Pod People have arrived.......
Liquid will do that.
😂😂😂😂
Yeah this is the most unexpected thing so far this decade.
Next month he going to recommend a Fiat....
Scotty approving a jaguar product...I must be in the twilight zone😳
Rod Serling was sitting behind you as you watched this....lol
:-)! Lol!!!
I'm 4 parallel universes ahead of you
Just in 2020😂
its not a jaguar. its a ford thunderbird in a silly dress.
I thought I would never live to see this day !!!
Lmao...😂😂😂😂
Do you only reason why he’s recommending it it’s because it’s off of a dead person Other than that he would not
Thank you Scotty, I plan on taking care of it for the years to come!
Thats your car???
You personally know Scotty? I don't even feel worthy to ask you.
What is Scotty cell phone number.??😅😂
How much you pay for it is the real question
Older car. low mileage, hanger queen.
It's about time Scotty. I have an 07 and it's been the most reliable car, I've ever owned in 50 yrs of motoring.
So glad you did this video and dispelled a lot of myths!! I also have a 2002 S-Type 3.0 (and a 2000 XKR) with over 170,000 original miles and still running strong. The drivetrain and braking system is essentially Lincoln LS/Ford Thunderbird (Ford is even prominently stamped on the inside of the airbox and most of the electrical parts, the key is even Ford Taurus). In 18yrs, I refreshed the front suspension 2yrs ago (barely 1000 bucks including labor), replaced the fuel pump 3yrs ago (50 bucks from Trak Auto), heater control valve, a very common issue on Lincoln LS's (50.00 bucks) very easy to replace. Pretty much these are parts that are just aging-out, not failing. The original battery which was a Ford battery lasted 10yrs!! Bottom line is Jags from the Ford era are great cars, low maintenance, classically styled (I get compliments on the car almost every day) and fun to drive. And if OM/OEM parts are purchased from FCP Euro the replacement parts are free FOREVER!
On the next episode.....
" This Yugo just changed the game!"
And the next one: The traubant is the best car ever made.
Europes finest the Austin Allegro.
Scotty...you are "right on"...I found a gem of a 2005 Jaguar S-Type with only 25,000 miles with the 3.0 V6 about 4 years ago. Bought it for my wife...she LOVES it. It now has 70,000 miles and there have been NO drivetrain or serious issues. I would do it all over again.
Man if only it was that easy
It's been two years of watching 2 to 5 videos a day and I'm still hooked .. keep up the great work SCOTTY!
The End of the world has finally come 🤔🤔 Scotty would buy a Jag 🔊🔊🔊🔊☄☄☄📢📢
Henry Kimani, Scotty might need a snow shovel, too.
Well, it's actually a Ford.
😩😫
I bought a 2007 Jaguar S Type 3.0 six years ago w/52K miles. Now 40K miles later, the car has been flawless! It's great to drive and still turns heads. A terrific highway cruiser. I do get 27MPG at 70MPH on the highway.
“He’s got a lot of junk in the trunk!” There’s something you don’t hear everyday. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have one too, a 2006 S-type 3.0 I bought it with 57,000 miles... and it had one previous owner who did all the maintenance. It ride fantastic, little no maintenance, and I have an extended warranty for my own peace of mind!
Oh no.. Jaguar got to him LOL
Thank you for posting this-
It is a nice one-
And year....
If you want a Jaguar, buy one but keep some change to cover eventual repairs. Maintain them correctly!
it will need repaired on day one. Dont do it
Lease them
@@maheshmurali2697 True, but I thought the context was about used cars.
My girlfriend had one for years and loved it. Put many miles on it. Now has a 2007 vadim plas xj with 50k miles used and it is a looker. Much admired wherever she goes and asked if its for sale. She loves it!!!
*2020 so far:*
POTUS impeached.
virus pandemic.
civil unrest.
Scotty would buy a Jaguar.
Okay...you had me up until that last one.
@Jasen Morganti why would you want that?
Nate Why would you not want that?
Jasen Morganti Absolutely! Greatest president since Lincoln! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 MURICA
TRUMP!!! TRUMP!!! TRUMP!!! --- TRUMP LOVES SCOTTY!!!
My mother has a 2003 XJR and it has been very good to her. 88,000 miles and she refuses to ever trade it.
I grew up always wanting a Jaguar, and several years ago I nearly bought a S-Type. But, at the time I had two small children, and etc etc I bought a Highlander. My Highlander is a fantastic car, but it's not a Jaguar.
so if you give him a brand new jag for about $4k that's actually a ford he'll consider it
they go for pennies in the uk, about 500 pounds.
@@deadprivacy my car would never pass MOT in a million years lmao. 78 ford, no cats, rust , etc
My old boss drove old Mercedes diesels sad he liked 30 thousand dollar cars you could buy for 3
@@deadprivacy in united states the mafia upmarks the prices of old cars, it used to be like that here too, but now its impossible to buy a working useful car for so little, scotty mentioned this issue once before actually
MrFuchew the new Land Rover discovery sport is practically a Ford
Great video Scotty, at last something for us Jag fans. Thank you.
Nice suggestion. I enjoy the vids like this.
When these came out over 20 years ago, a dealer had a couple of them on display at a local classic British car show. I asked to see the engine and the rep claimed "We're not allowed to open the hood. It's proprietary information.". Oh well. Today, I get to see 'em in the salvage yard!
Wow, I still remember Ford and the company I worked for Raychem Corp did a lot of work on the Wiring in this car , Scotty I've seen this first hand , I loved seeing the prototypes at the company Trade show .
Hi Scotty, my dad built the heads and motor for this Jag at the Ford motor plant in brookpark/Cleveland Ohio plant. These motors were a good build, they were popular in the early 2000s. This thing is a granny car with 33k miles, that thing is like new!
Ever since I was a kid, I have dreamed of owning a Jaguar....Then I started watching Scotty! 😢
I've got the 4.0 V8 one, it's now got 130,000 miles on it. Had 60 odd thousand when I got it and to be fair it's been a decent car! Although this year I am replacing all the C.A.T.S shocks and springs!
You realize that your whole life was a lie when you see Scotty owning a Jaguar.
Scotty just changed the game
I put an oil pan gasket in one of these a while back. Had to drop the subframe, undo the steer rack, engine mount/s. Can’t quite remember but I know it was oddly shaped, almost like an anvil so it wouldn’t drop straight down without taking the whole car apart. I believe I even had to raise the engine a few inches so the oil pan would clear something else, then slid it out at an angle.
You were the first to show me the flaw in the duratec engine. I somehow purchased one hiding under a new badge. Water pump is a timed detonator. Still... Somehow I love the Jag, and Scotty's channel. Jag for me. Lexus for the wife and Toyota for Nana.
Ah yes, i remember these. I would see these on hip hop videos. I would always see Lil" Flip's music videos with the Jags in them. lol
Wait did Scotty just say he would buy a jaguar 😳
It's beautiful Scotty! Kudos!
Meeting Scotty in person is being added to my bucket list
I recently bought a Jaguar S-type 4.0 V8, it's faster than I expected and it has wonderful handling. I fitted a custom exhaust system and now it sounds like a proper modern muscle car.
What year & how much money has maintenance costed ya thus far roundabout?
@@mackwitdavortexx I did almost 20 000 miles since I bought it and it has costed me around 1600-1700USD in maintenance. I have abused it (did many burnouts, donuts and powerslides with it) but it proved to be very reliable so far. I have changed the oil and filters 3 times, the gearbox oil and the spark plugs. Keep in mind that I live in a small country in Europe and the price for parts and labor may be different from the US.
@@NeverGiveUp909 thanks lad
I want to go and have a beer with Scotty, bloody hilarious
Love the classic Scotty knock
Rolling pile of junk was a new phrase I added to my vocabulary after watching this.Thanks Scotty,my English got better.
I had an ‘05 S Type R. It was a great looking car. You can find great deals on them. The depreciation is no joke though, and when major repairs come, they can often accumulatively exceed the value of the car. These are great to have if you know how to work on them. Parts are not as expensive as other performance cars, but labor costs are insane. I love the car, but at the end, it was not worth it.
@Alexander Politi The car would not stay locked, it had to do with the electrical system. Then it was transmission. It wouldn’t shift into the next gear, and the car would go into limp mode. AC compressor went bad, way earlier than most cars. Constant oil and transmission fluid leaks, one thing after the other. I drive a ‘10 Lexus now, and none of these issue have ever appeared, and the car is now 13 years old.
For some reason, the refrain of “Endless Money Pit!!” Keeps echoing in my head!! Lol!
Well... he never said to fix it🤣😂🤣
Love the video
My mom had a black one. I loved driving that car... we fell on hard times and she had to give it back unfortunately... always wanted another one
Yes Scotty I have a S type and it has been a good car for me for 4 years now. It's very comfortable it's very fast it's got the 4.0 engine and it has been pretty Dependable no real problems. I did have to rebuild the transmission but that is kind of standard in the cars as they age. But other than that I haven't had to do anything to it besides maintenance. Never leaves me stranded. And I do appreciate the traction control and the comfort of driving it around and it's pretty stylish. I agree with you completely about the X-Type they had a lot of trouble with the Transmissions and the drivetrain. Thank you for your channel, nice stuff on here
A great motor, the problem is most people dont know how to look after them.
Well I got X-TYPE but with 2.2 diesel engine and manual 6speed transmission runs perfectly all I had to change after buying this car was wearnaut alternator and bad fuel level sensor in fuel tank only other stuff just tipical meintenence as break pads oil and filters but I can't tell nothing about gasoline ones cus I drive diesel one :). Also my X-TYPE is a estate so looks better than sedan from the back and is more relaeble than that ear BMWs xD
@@j_freed i do need new valve cover seals but the brakes seem to work perfectly and other rubber parts are not giving me trouble. actually surprisingly compared to other cars have found the rubber part seem to be doing better
@@stevestone4346 in my experience I was a car dealer for many years there and I've owned 1400 cars so I think with this motor it's very important to change your oil and to rub it up 2 red line Maybe twice a week at least. It doesn't like to sit and idle it likes to drive and it likes to be driven hard a little. I'm not talking about driving it hard all the time course that would wear it out but if you don't really routed through its rev range and it doesn't actually put oil everywhere that needs to
@@arvistmoderisgravedigger4491 good I'm glad you got lucky with that. The only thing that I would say is they had trouble with the transfer case between the rear and front wheels. I think it was something about different speeds that's the front wheels were going versus the rear wheels. I guess I would research what kind of oil to put in there and how to take care of it there are a bunch of forms so I would look out for that on the forums. But I'm glad you're enjoying the car Jaguars are quite wonderful cars. I've owned four of them in my life
"A Jaguar I'd buy..."
"....for a lawn ornament."
Come on, 39000 miles & the ABS & Traction Control are not working.... Bet there's more dysfunction.
Hahahaaaa
haha, my thoughts exactly. and from what he described the previous owner seems to be a kind of a person who never revs the engine over 3500k rpm and who can have the brake pads last over 70-80k miles.
As Jeremy Clarkson said: "Jaguar knew drifting would be popular one day so they designed the traction control to fail once it did."
(Probably around 2006)
CheapBastard1988, hahahahaha! Even though I missed that episode, I heard Clarkson’s voice as I read your comment.
Probably the battery. Traction control on Jaguars gets really funny about that. You can have a battery which starts the car fine, but if it's too small or worn out then it'll throw traction control faults at you when you start the car. Probably because the voltage drops too much on cranking, making the computer go cranky. You must make sure the battery CCA is at least what the original one was. So many people stick smaller ones in and wonder why the computers go haywire.
Seeing as this car sat around for so much of the time, I bet that battery is not up to snuff.
Reminds me of my Mercury Sable of the same year but high line materials. Great car!
Thank you for leaving the keys part in lmfao got a good laugh!
That ain't a jag it's a thunderbird /Lincoln ls
indeed, the last real "jag" was the rebadged xjs sold as an aston martin.
@@deadprivacy The last real Jag was the XJ40. It was the last model Sir William Lyons had influence on, as an informal consultant and regular visitor to the styling studio.
Yep, I have an '04 Bird. I recognize the steering wherl and transmission shift.
Richard Moody had one,inherited it from my dad when he passed,had too much wrong with it so I had to sell it
J Sz I’d say that the last real Jag you could buy was the X300, because it basically is an XJ40.
As someone who has one of these with 300k+ miles on it, I have to say, it has treated me pretty well. Its been giving me problems now but this thing refuses to die lol. If I had the money to fix it I might keep it, but for now im looking for something else.
Check out the fuel gauge! In the red below “E”. Don’t test drive it too far.
I had an 01 s type same color. My favorite car, but the suspension went and so did it when I got it priced.
Makes sense. More like a Ford, still in its infancy. As always the "devil is in the details".
Ain't a Celica or Corolla though.
I have a 2000 S type 130k rus great with few problems in the last 15 years
V8?
Getting a lot of 2002’s in your shop lately: Tahoe, Lincoln LS, S Type. This thing looks incredible for its age.
I’m surprised. Thanks for another honest video.
Scotty always keeps his eyes open for the exception to the rule.
It's funny how as the video goes on more and more fault messages pop up, lol....
I have a 2000 stype with the 3.0 and the sport option. Driving from Stafford VA to SW PA I've averaged 32mpg at 70mph. I love my Jag. It does have some electrical quirks, but I'm fixing to turn it into a cross country cruiser with a supercharger, and some new wheels. (Mine came with the chrome and I don't want to mess with them.)
I've got the same Scotty !! In fact it's my second Jag S type . Lot of my friends nag me for it. I don't care what others say, I love it.
The s-type isn’t pretty but reliable luxury is hard to argue with
My dad gave me his 2003 s type r for my 16th birthday and it’s a BEAST
Keep it serviced properly, don't abuse it and you'll probably never have any major issues. Remember it's actually all Lincoln LS/Ford Thunderbird. Get any OM/OEM replacement parts from FCP Euro and they will be replaced for free for life!
@Buzz Lightyear Do your research, I've owned a 2000 XKR and a 2002 S-Type since new, Pal.
Nice vid Scotty
I am transported in my XJL 5.0SC when I drive it and wish all could experience such a magnificent vehicle.
It's too small.for me!
I tried sitting in one and was shocked it was so much tighter than my Volvo estate!
Looks like he owns the whole street from where he is parking all his cars
I have friends who both Jaguars, maybe 10 years ago, nothing but problems and they regretted the purchases. Hope they are improving. This one in your video is awlful pretty.
to change plugs remove exhaust headers; does that equate to even more fun with a 2002 S type Jag -u -ar?
Scotty's recommending a Jaguar, when did Hell freeze over?
What he says: "I got a Jaguar"
What he means: "A client brought his Jaguar for me to fix and left it for enough time for me to make this video"
Everyone knows this its the point
He could hv said crap things about the car. Either way he got a video
These really are much better cars than most people realize. I recently had the chance to check out one that hadn't been abused, and it really surprised me. Yes, it had been owned by an elderly couple that didn't drive it too much and had always garaged it, but how many 18 year old cars with 80k miles on them have you seen where EVERYTHING still works? The paint was still fine, the interior was fine, all the electronics worked, etc. And it is a very nice handling, comfortable car with perfectly adequate power. If you can find one of these that hasn't been ragged out, grab it. They are depreciated to the point they cost almost nothing, and they kind of hit a sweet spot where they are new enough to have a modern, reliable engine, but aren't yet burdened with all the wildly complex technology of newer luxury cars.
The only way is up now for the S type. Thanks Scotty i agree entirely. Lovely motorcar.
The owner hid everything in the trunk! 😂 just like some people hide everything under the bed 🛏 so outsiders “won’t” see the mess 😂 omg
Yeah, when taking my car to the shop I throw everything including trash in the trunk worry about later :-)
Always loved the s-type. Beautiful design. Jag's design language just kept going downhill after this imo.
Hi Scotty, the Saab 9-7x was built by General Motors ,its basically a Chevy Trailblazer .Nice Jag
That explains why my 02 Lincoln LS V8 is still running strong with over 270k miles on clock. After all, the LS and the S-Type are cousins, as they are built on the same platform..
This jag will soon be a endless money pit, next episode
Well either the gas gauge is broken or he's running on E.
Future video: Why the fuel pump broke on this vehicle and how to avoid it.
Just sold me 1995 Xj6 X300 4.0, most reliable car I've owned, great cars lovely looking and parts very cheap and best of all easy to work on, I've had a few jags and the biggest problem with them in the UK is rust! The s type in this video the jags can suffer rust on the sills and its coverd with a plastic cover!
Hi Scotty, I love Mazda Miata's. I live in Wisconsin, would snow tires make a real difference during winter driving?
Ford Duratec V6. Imagine if they’d used the Vulcan V6 instead, LOL.
Vulcan is a big piece of 💩💩💩💩💩
Scotty Kilmer, the King of Contradiction.
@3:00 "Check out the trunk --- Junk in the trunk, 'cause there's alot of space --- Put alot of stuff in the trunk..." My Man, Scotty!!!
I own a 2006 Mazda rx8 l maintain her 110% it has 110.000 miles and runs like new l did change out the apex seals at 80.000 miles but my point is its the owner that keeps them going. Love your videos Scotty your the Best!!!!!
Hey scotty, would you mind doing a video for us teens about slamming your car with coilovers or air bags
He’d tell you how stupid it is to slam your car
Static
Air bags are always dangerous. My friend is a mechanic and he would put them on his customers kids cars and the kids would wreck going to fast hitting the bags. That’s is if we’re talking about the same bags lol
Save your money dont be a dumb teen like i was
Wrong channel dude Scotty doesn't approve of modifying a car
About that red BMW that you drive at the beginning...
Saab were a part of GM in later years and the 9-3, for instance, was based on the Vauxhall Cavalier or whatever its successor was called. Saab added unnecessary cost, like galvanised subframes though. I wouldn't buy one for regular day to day use at this stage though.
How do you feel about the S type R with the 4.2supercharged and the 6 speed Zf transmission
5:32 GET TO THE DAMN GAS STATION SCOTTY!
Tomorrow’s video “ I just bought a Jaguar”
I know this isn’t related to that super jaguar, but what would you recommend a
Procity Dodge hightop or Ford transit for a diy van conversion camper?
Hi Mr kilmer I want to buy a used compressor so how do I check it if it works ؟
Isn't the Jag X-Type ALSO a Ford ... a European Ford Mondeo??
Yes the X-type is based on the Ford Mondeo and Ford Contour.... This S-Type is based on the Lincoln LS.
@@windanthonystream the xtype is a far far better car, they rot out but carry on and on and on.
It is but it was available in 4WD, most engines had slightly more power, had a differently tuned suspension and didn't come with the ability to turn the traction control off. The Mondeo was actually better because it wasn't as complicated, wasn't as heavy and had much sharper handling. Scotty always mentions it was based on the Ford Contour but that was actually the previous iteration of the Mondeo which was a bit of a dog. The X-Type was based on the 2001-2007 Mondeo while the Contour was based on the 1993-2000 Mondeo. The only major thing those two generations had in common was the bottom construction plate of the car. Even the suspension fitted to that same bottom plate was completely different. The old bottom plate did pull down the crash safety though as the Mondeo only scored 4 stars EURO NCAP while the Renault Laguna already had 5 stars EURO NCAP during that same era.
Pretty much. A bit different though
@@CheapBastard1988 I've got a Mk3 Mondeo. My dad has the X type, so I've driven both a lot back to back, and worked on both. You're pretty correct in that they don't share much other than a front subframe. Though the Mk3 Mondeo and X type subframe is completely different to the Mk1/2/Contour one. So really the X type shares nothing at all with the Contour apart from maybe a handful of bolt on parts.
I wouldn't say the Mondeo is better to drive, just different. It's more eager in corners for sure, and is very tail happy for a FWD car, but it has a different character. The X type is a much nicer motorway cruiser, even though the suspension is firmer. It feels a lot more stable and planted.
Mondeo is wayyy more practical as well as being easier to work on, but that goes without saying really. Not that it matters, the X type has needed no major work ever, just consumables and the odd £10 bush that took all of half an hour to do. It's been the most reliable car I've ever known.
I want one ☝️
My 9-7x Aero is all Trailblazer SS that you liked in one of your videos.
Hey Scotty what do you think: Jag S-type or Rav4 2.2D 2007 for my next car? Cheers from UK!
This just in: Dodge and Kia top JD Powers Initial Quality List. 😂😂😂😂😂 Can't wait for Scotty's video!
I think COVID-19 has gotten to Scotty
The 97X is a re-badged Chevrolet Trailblazer (Plus GMC and other variants) from back when GM controlled Saab. It is the only SAAB sold at the time that did not have a turbocharged engine. It did look like a SAAB inside though it was anything but.
I have owned this exact spec'd vehicle for 2 years now. I am the third owner. Aside from some basic things I've had to take care of as a car ages, it's been a dream. The ride is incredibly smooth, the steering is feels like literal butter, and it even though it has only 240hp it does have variable valve timing which can get this thing going pretty damn fast. Even though this is a Ford vehicle, there are actually a lot more "jaguar" parts in under the hood than you'd think, even down to the transmission. Fun fact: this engine concept was originally developed by Porsche, but later on decided to go a different route and sold the concept to Jaguar. Overall it's a great car if you like things that look unique, and the supercharged v8 version is incredibly fast.
