Hi Tom, Nice xf, nice s type as well. How are you finding the 3.0 compared to the 2.5 engine?

Hi John We concur with all the other comments, and good to know that this particular XJS is going to be cossetted. We'll also concur with regard to the Carcoon....an excellent purchase and you will be well rewarded. Our 6600 mile '07 XK lives in one. We have, like you, a dry and secure (large sized) garage at the end of our rear garden, but when we first purchased the XK (in April '16) we found that although the XK remained dry (apart from an occasional condensation drip from the roof), it did get dusty. A (not cheap) car cover was purchased but this produced more condensation than enough and was rapidly returned. Enter the Carcoon (in our case, a drive-in version i.e. a strong free-standing metal frame with the cocoon attached over it) and the XK now comes out of the Carcoon in exactly the same condition as it went in. You will, of course, find that even if the car is put in slightly damp, the fans and vents will dry the car off. Of course, the Carcoon is not particularly cheap, but then how many hours of professional paintwork etc would you get for the cost of the Carcoon?! Not many! Have a great time with the XJS, and good to see it with an original Glamorgan issued number plate (last two digits 'TG'). As always, happy growling

Hi Tom....and welcome to your new Jaguar You can never have enough Jags...at least I've never read any rules about multiple Jaguar ownership Cheers, Trevor

Hello Everyone Firstly I must say that these are my opinions and not condoned or endorsed by the club. I am now in my fifties and one thing that I find sad is that the word "help" is treated by so many people with suspicion It as though they are waiting for " but it will cost you" Clubs like this in my opinion help restore the values I was taught as a child. Members genuinely help others with no hidden agendas it's just good old fashioned "I will help you" and so I would like to help someone I have six new pencil coils and gaskets that I bought for my s type my disability stopped me fitting them for a while and when I felt well enough to have a go at changing them I found that the connection on the new ones is too small so if someone wants them and can pick them up they can have them no strings just in the club spirit of help they are free
