Good Morning All,

Released from hospital yesterday [UTI that crossed over to bloodstream and heart palpitation/arythmia] I drove to the drive through car wash, paid my money, pulled up to enter the code and found that I couldn't fold the wing mirrors so I had to go away.

Having tried the electric fold procedure, I figure this '05 SE 3.0L is not equipped and I suspended attempts at manual fold for fear of producing an expensive sound.

You know what wing mirrors look like?

Help!

Dutchy.  

Hi everyone, Juliette and Dutchy broke the ice yesterday with her first visit to the Jaguar Sick Bay. It wasn't a major issue that took us to see Dr. Paul, just a broken glove compartment door catch mounting and Dutchy had actually secured the catch with some hardware from his aptly named 'come-in-handy-bucket' into which hardware salvaged from appliances which are throw away [TX] or life expired [LX]. By reclaiming hardware saves having to buy a blister pack of whatever just for one or two. The catch mount had been shattered so a long screw was required to bridge the gap of a few centimetres to double the number of securing fasteners. Paul's help was needed to reinstall the glove box since some miscellaneous bits and pieces had fallen out of somewhere unknown during removal and he would know where everything lived. Juliette was distracted from her minor op while she chatted with a Daimler SP250 and a '60-ish 3.8 S type and before we knew it her dash was restored to as new or as I said to Paul, 'Like a bought one mate'. 

ALLELUJAH BABY! IT IS FIXED

Sunday morning and up before the sun as is my daily routine, I researched OBD2 GPS HUD's which got me all excited but before I rush out and buy one could I ask you guys for some advice as to brand and model and while I'm asking should my 05 S type have a OBD2 plug under the dash?

And now for the victory salute. Somewhere I had read that a judiciously applied kitchen spatula could be useful in unjamming a CD boot unit changer cartridge. Well, I'm here to tell you, it worked and when I pushed the eject button the little green light flashed and then - noises emanated from the unit and quick as a flash, voila, out popped the cartridge which had been forced in the wrong way and, surprise surprise was loaded with 6 CD's featuring Rod Stewart and Frank Sinatra.

How happy is Dutchy, Huh?
