Bought an old S-type what could possibly go wrong....
Discussion
I've bought an old S-type, couple of problems with it (other than colour/image etc..) a scrape to a front wing which I can get fixed, but the near side rear door is stuck locked and won't open. I've taken a punt on it being the solenoid and ordered the part, but it sounds like a nightmare of a job - anyone got any tips?

This was £1250. As long as the repair to the door is no worse than the internet googling suggests... it's an awful lot of car for the money! The last S-type I had was 13 months old when I bought it and I regretted selling it 60k miles later, it was in many ways a better car than my last Jaguar an XF-S.
The problem with the door is finally fixed, after a couple of hours from me and then the local mechanic with a longer drill, so onto the next issue!
The car has a full Jaguar service history. The last service was 4000 miles ago but 5 years ago as the elderly owner didn't use her much. The local Jag dealer does a reduced cost service for older cars, but it will be slightly dearer than my local mechanic. Anyone had experience of using a franchise dealer on an older Jag?
