Im 8 weeks into owning my 08 XF with all the toys and we love it. Its such a great place to be, drives likes a dream, a little thirsty but as said before on here, all is forgiven for the sheer pleasure of owning it. All our friends and family love it too Wish I had bought one years ago

Ouch

Quite right, Tamas. When I buy a car I always go to a main dealers. I had company cars for 29 years so I have not had many second hand ones. But what I do is first make sure there is a.up to date MOT, and also a warranty. I then draw up a list of foibles I have found and take it back to the dealer for a health check, as it were. Having had company cars, the local main dealers all know me well! Peter.

I'd be concerned about the state of your discs too!!!

Hi Tamas, Either some wet and dry and a lot of elbow grease, or a good body shop is needed. It could be worth having a look at the Jaguar Owners Lounge Forum on the Club side and go through the list of recommended independent garages and you may find one close to you. Regards, Peter.

Looks good, Tamas. Enjoy the experience. Peter

I consider myself extremely lucky to have my first Jaguar, the S-Type at the age of 39. Owned quite a few cars in the last 10 years, but I can honestly say, this is the best so far. Even though I only had the test run in it on last Thursday - due to a power-steering fluid leak - the V8 engine purrs like a kitten, the gearbox is smooth, seats never felt this comfy, I could go on. I hope I can get the dents - left by the elderly previous owner - fixed, and refurbish the original 18" alloys too. Wednesday H.A. Fox will have a service and A/C re-gas done. I just hope - after fixing the PS fluid leak - they will give her a good bill of health, so I can cruise around GB in style. ;)
