Hi Steve

Thanks for promoting the club, but unfortunately there isn't a commission system in place for recruitment of members.
It does help to grow the club community for the benefit of all members though.

Cheers,   Trevor - Admin

Stag Q Max Plus is a good LPG kit and Profess are able to fit one at quite a reasonable cost but as Ron has stated, unless you are going to do lots of miles then you would not be too much better off financially.

Hi Trevor, did you take this any further? If so, I might be interested in joining you

Hi Mark....it's getting close to the deadline but if there are enough members wanting to attend and make up the minimum number required for a stand then I am more than happy to arrange it all.....just need more responses!

But, I'll put you down as a potential attendee and then that makes three of us

Hi Brian...welcome to the Club

Keep us updated with your XF purchase.

Good to have you onboard

Cheers,   Trevor

Hi RoniN_ ....welcome to the Club

Good to have you onboard

Cheers,   Trevor

Great collection of fine classic cars...some of which I haven't seen around for many years...which as Cubist has mentioned, maybe a lot of them are for 'show' and not so much for 'go'

Hi Andrew....welcome to the Club

Lovely X-Type and I think a remap on a diesel is fine as long as it's done for driveability and economy then its fine.

Good to have you onboard

Cheers, Trevor

Hi Nathan....welcome to the Club

You are most welcome as a Member no matter where you live!

Feel free to post up a piccy or two of your Jag...

Cheers,  Trevor

Useful link to the official Jaguar site with links to Handbooks and Guides for Jaguar models

Here's a useful link to the official Jaguar site and has useful Guides to show you how to operate your Jaguar...check it out!

Hi Stephen...welcome to the Club.

Hopefully the wife will come round to liking the Jag soon enough

Good to have you onboard

Cheers,  Trevor

Hi Salvatore....welcome to the Club

Here is a link to a Tyre Pressure guide  http://bit.ly/tyrepressures

If in doubt I would probably work on the principle that it is slightly better to have a little more than less but I would probably take it to 1 or 2 psi around the 33psi (e.g. 34 - 35 psi) and see how the handling is affected while checking the wear pattern on the tread. 

Bear in mind also, the tyre temperature when checking pressures, as that alters considerably when the air temperature inside the tyre is increased (which can rise quite a few psi when the tyre is hot)....also bear in mind the accuracy of the pressure gauge you are using....the ones on the pumps at the petrol station are usually way out of calibration so you are better off having a pocket type gauge (either manual or electronic type).

Hi Neil     Here's an event happening near you in July that you may be interested in attending with the Club

Hi Dominic...welcome to the Club

You could try some of the local (Dorset based) Jaguar specialists....Dorset Sports Cars, Marina Garage, Hollygrove Jaguar to name a few or otherwise there is a really good air conditioning specialist on the Ringwood Road industrial estate that may be able to source a generic component that would work.

Good to have you onboard

Cheers,  Trevor

p.s....good collection of cars over the years!

Hi Chris...welcome to the Club

Why not come along to the Midlands event (not that far away from you)....would be great for you to show your XJS with the Club

Give these guys a call as I used to source performance Cats through them for MG Rovers and Jaguars many years ago....hopefully they might be able to assist.

Good to have you onboard

Cheers,    Trevor

There are a few Jaguar Owners Club events occurring this Summer that you may not be aware of so I thought I would post it here to promote some response and hopefully get a good number of Members to attend on a Club Stand

Here is one that is based in the heart of the truly picturesque New Forest and would be ideal for any Southern-based Members (not that we have a problem with any Northerners attending 😁) .... If it's something you would like to attend, please respond to this post and I can draw up an Attendance List.

Also, look out a for a special announcement of another event that is occurring in the Midlands that is being laid on especially for the Club.

Hi Neil....welcome to the Club

The X-Type is a great model and has had some bad press for some issues that have been picked up on over the years.
But generally, it is the same as any other vehicle on the road in as much as it needs regular routine maintenance to remain reliable and give many years of service.

Good to have you onboard and feel free to post up any pics of the Jag if you would like to.

Cheers,   Trevor

Hi Jason....that's two of us then, will get some more details up here soon....anyone else like to join us?

If anyone is interested in attending this event and being on a Club stand then please reply to this post.
The date is fast looming so will need responses soon to be able to reserve a spot for the Club stand.

Sounds very odd, unless they used the wrong quantity of gas and it overpressurised?....maybe worth a second opinion?

Hi David....welcome to the Club

Good move from a bike straight to a Jag...although it is always nice to have a bike for the odd blast

Hi Jase....welcome to the Club

and welcome to the wonderful world of Jaguar!

Great looking car....only advice is to keep on top of the required maintenance and it should see you through many years of faithful service...Enjoy!

Cheers,   Trevor

That is what they call 'the law of sod' whats the chances of all that occurring in such a short space of time when previously it hasn't put a foot wrong :-(

Also, I know that Jaguar state that the Castrol oil needs to be used but my XF is a 2009 so I'm not worried about warranties etc - any particular oil that anyone uses?  There seem to be a few examples of C1 spec oil on Opie - any particularly better than others?

 

I would highly recommend Petronas which they sell in Halfords...been running that in everything I own and not one issue (yet)
