JAGUAR S-Type - V8 S-Type Concerns

Q
Do the potential Nikasil problems affecting pre-2001 XJ and XK vehicles also affect the pre-2001 4.0-litre S-TYPE?

A
Unless rebuilt with steel liners, all engines prior to No:000818-1043 have Nikasil coated bores and are prone to the same degradation issues, including those fitted to the S-TYPE.
