Are there any alternatives to the Jaguar S-type?
Alternatives There are plenty of rival executive saloons available, but you will have to splash out more for most of them compared with the S-Type. However, the Audi A6, BMW 5-Series and Mercedes E-Class all come with practical estate variants – unlike the Jaguar – and they’re sharper to drive, too.

What kind of rear suspension does a jaguar have?
I’m buying a 1988 Honda Gold Wing trike with a 1988 Jaguar independent rear suspension. Don’t know the model Jaguar but it has inboard brakes and dual shocks on each side. My question is the positraction is causing the front tire to push.

Can a jaguar’s type be converted to an alternator?
Dynamo charging systems don’t take kindly to too many high-draw extras, but conversion to an alternator is not feasible if the car has the Burman power steering, driven off the back of the dynamo. If the brakes are not effective, the calipers are sticking or oil is getting on the rear discs. Also try the handbrake, which often isn’t that brilliant.
