Hi all, I am a new member after picking up my first Jag yesterday, a XFS very happy with it so far. I am just wondering looking for a Jag specialist to work on my car when the time is required. I am more than happy to a lot of job myself, so mostly thinking about having the specialist do the cambelt and gearbox service when needed. So far I know of J-Cat and the Jag centre in Norwich. Anyone used these or know of any others.

 

Not sure what part of Norfolk you are in and although technically in Cambridgeshire, there is Jagutek in Ely :

Not used them myself but have heard good reports.

I'm not 100% certain on the later cars (mine is a 1999 S Type 3.0 V6 SE) but it seems most of the petrol AJ--V- engines used chain drives for the camshafts, i believe the 2.0 Ecoboost uses a timing belt immersed in oil surprisingly - unsurprisingly regular oil and filter changes are essential to preserve longevity! I may be wrong on that, Jaguar may have altered it somewhat but i know a lot of the Ecoboost engines use that arrangement.

With the autoboxes, most were "sealed for life" although the WSM recommends changing the fluid at 80k miles if used in "extreme conditions". What those extreme conditions are, it doesnt really specify. Again, this may have changed on later models so it's worth getting to know exactly what engine and transmission you have and working the exact requirements out from there.

Hi Aaron, I use TJC Landrover, Manor Farm Fakenham Rd, Weasenham, King's Lynn, PE32 2TF following a local recommendation. They loan you a car and the they have been very helpful.  Ian
