Your experience is similar to mine at 1yr 3mo in and I'm not done. I need to service the transmission and hope there isn't internal damage and replace the thermostat housing. Yes, I do the work myself but it adds up. If it keeps up I may have to rethink this car. I've never owned a car that required this much upkeep.
One thing I wouldn't go through with either of those is turning back to look at the car every time I walk away and the consistent compliments that I get on it. I don't think I could give that up...except to get another Jaguar!!!

Our S-Type was much more reliable and I felt the CATs coil suspension rode better than the CATs air setup on the VDP. Add to that the fact that I converted the car to coils anyway. The S-Type was still a bit pricey to maintain, but I only put about $3k into it in 5 years time, but that beats the $4k and counting the VDP has taken.
If the trans service and thermostat fix are the last couple of things for a while I can finally relax. Once I change the rear diff fluid there shouldn't be much left to break. I hope.
