Dude just go to a dealer someone can recomend you, pay what they charge, hopefully not to much...take it like a man and enjoy your jag.

It's going to be cheaper than buying another used car, cuz most the time you have to pay a lot after buying a used car.

And you keep comparing an S type to a mercedes C320, keep in mind the C320 is way smaller and not nearly as beautiful as the S type, varying tho on the years, the new design is pretty nice.

My doctor couldn't even fit a cooler in the trunk of his C320 kompressor, it was embaressing for him

Perhaps it is your attitude. Try going to a different dealer. Keep your mouth shut and act dumb(er). If you treat people right they will bend over to help you. If you are acting at the dealer like you act here, it is no wonder they will not cover your lights.

Go to another dealer and tell them that the levelling motors are inop. Dont mention aiming. They can get it covered. Just stop writing about it now please. Let us know how it goes.

There whole headlight was probably broken, not the Allignment. It would be like if someone drops there iPod with a warranty from Best Buy, they get nothing...but if someone's iPod's battery dies they get a new battery or a new iPod. Different reasonings lead to different services. It's just the way things are, life isn't fair, get used to it man.

The end!

Evidently you never had headlight problems with your benz. Talking of benz.....are you a diver? Seems like you came up too fast once.

Let me start by saying this...Thank God I'm a mod so that I can a few last words in.

If you have a warranty, and the warranty says that the drivetrain isn't covered, and then the differential takes a ****, then that is part of the drivetrain and therefore not covered. So if the motor that controls the aiming of the headlights took a ****, then that isn't covered either.

For the space, the performance, the luxury, the look, and the PRICE of the car, plus the feeling that you can only get from driving a jag...there is nothing like the S-type R. If you want an A in Customer Service, an A in resale value, an A in reliability, and a rental when you're getting an oil change, BUY A LEXUS. But then you pay twice as much without the luxury of the Jag nor the performance. Jags appeal to different people for different reasons.

As for Frombenz, you rarely answered ANY of our questions man. Everytime we asked something, you went without reply for a while. Don't come and ask for advice if you're not going to take it.

Oh yeah...and JagXtypeBoy, sorry for going so off-topic on your topic. I'll tell you what though, we haven't had this type of reaction to any thread in a while.

x3!!! Hey bigs as far as I'm concerned from the way they talked adjusting the headlights isn't covered but does this mean them manually adjusting the lights or cover the mechanicals of the light...if its labor adjusting the lights than it shouldn't be covered but when its a component of the light it should be...than again i don't work for jag either!

But there are better cars and the Mercedes Benz AMG Cars are all around better perfomance cars.

The C32 AMG does perform better than a Jaguar S-Type R, thats a well known fact.

Mercedes Benz C32 V6 Kompressor Supercharger0-60 is 4.9 Secs

Jaguar S-Type R V8 Supercharged 0-60 is 5.3 Secs

C32 is a much lighter car and handles moreexcellent plus it hasa V6 Kompressor Supercharger. Not only that the C32 beats the Jag S-Type R on the quater mile too.This is a well known fact. The Jaguar S-Type R loses against M3, C32 AMG, M5s, and E55 AMGs. The S-Type R is a good car, but cannot compete against Benz and BMW Performance Lineups. The 335i, and IS350 do about the same if not better performance then thew S-Type R. Only thing the Jag has are some better options such as DVD Navi, CATS, and 6 Speed ZF, but thats it.
Buy a C32 and i will run over top you with my xjr ! IT WONT BE FOR FREE EITHER ! NOW SAY SOMETHING

I agree with Jim. Both you and this particular Jaguar dealer handled this situation poorly. I'm surprised they didn't tell you or you didn't ask about any sort of diagnostic fees in advance.

Please note that "Select Edition" is what Jaguar calls its certified pre-owned warranty package and all Jaguars that are a certain model year and newer and meet a mileage threshold are covered by the "Select Edition" warranty. (I have a 2004 X-Type that still has "Select Edition" coverage until 2010).

Also, this seemed kind of obvious to me, but there are no fees on any repairs that are not covered. Headlights are not covered - almost no automaker (except maybe for BMW) covers headlights. They are considered "soft items". I'm not sure why you would think you wouldn't have to pay any fees associated with an item uncovered by warranty.

Hopefully this Jaguar dealership doesn't behave this way again and you can find a qualified mechanic to take your car to from this point forward. I hope someone is able to answer your question and you get your headlights working again.
