I am parked in gravel a at the moment in Keswick. Not that deep but still difficult to manoeuvre. On the steep hills up here they use 12 inch deep gravel in escape lanes to stop runaway lorries. Peter.

Had the S-type V8 serviced at Stratstone Jaguar in Milton Keynes, very reasonable at £280. However they found two slight oil leaks from the auto box, estimated cost of repair £4488.00 (that's right, four thousand) Actual cost of repair from ZF certified transmission specialist including gearbox service £410.23. Stealership doesn't even begin to describe them!!!

Neville, I suppose being realistic you do live in Norfolk , which makes us Devon peeps seem advanced ( only joking) It sounds like your ISP is the problem ( who are you with) , you should be able to connect via broadband without any hitches . Your computer should be ok. I'm with Plusnet and find them fine. ATB, Trevor P.S, You could always try buying a different router as the ones the ISP's send out are rubbish, I have a Netgear, and it is excellent . http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/networking/networking/bt-wireless-routers/netgear-dgn2200-n300-wireless-adsl-modem-router-06930370-pdt.html Or Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-Wireless-N-Router-Modem-connections/dp/B003FS40KU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401870977&sr=8-1&keywords=netgear+n300

Welcome to the club, Neville. I have still not yet mastered putting on a photo on the site. But you will enjoy that lovely big Jaguar. Regards, Peter.

Hi,I have just bought a Jaguar S type i'm 62 years young i ve had my share of cars but this is my first Jaguar,and i love it my wife loves it,every body likes it,ok petrol economy is not fantastic but class and history is, by the way uses slightly more per week than my 2.3 Saab so i'm not complaining,obvious small faults on a 14 year old car but i can live with that so i know have a club i can find the information i need ,cheers every body.

Hey Peter, would your mobile mechanic's run by any chance include Australia??

Peter, My friend said almost exactly the same costs with his Ford escort diesel he uses for work, I think most stealerships are well over priced . ATB, Trevor
