Nick It would seem to me that you are "snookered" unless you buy from a dealer., who will take your current vehicle in P/X. Proof still remains the important matter unless you choose to have the work and any associated parts etc done after purchase, Good luck with your decisions. Best Wishes and Regards, John

I suspect the likely hood of you getting a reply to this is very low, as the original post was 23.04.2018., that being four years ago. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Are there any similarities in keeping the Stag running correctly as compared to the Jaguar? Regards, John

There are some good videos on You Tube explaining how to identify / trace Parasitic electrical losses on the car. Good Luck and Best Wishes , John

Microphone ????????????????????????

Ross Your best bet is a CTEK MS 7 or MS 10. I use one for my S-type (which are renown for battery discharge. I use mine on the car at least once a month for 24 hours and it keeps the battery in A1 condition. They also have a RECON setting which takes care of sulphating and can also be used to start low batteries. Well worth the investment. Are used by many members on this Forum. Best Wishes and Regards John

Nick, Cost is going to depend exactly what you have done and where you have it done. I.E. Jaguar Main Dealer, Independent Jaguar Specialist, Local Garage. My advice would be to ring a number of locations and ask for a quotation. Cheers, John

I thoroughly support "No Evidence then change it". Could be very expensive otherwise. Welcome to the club, Best Wishes , John

Nick I believe that the decision you have to make is entirely a personal preference / decision. Taking your time to decide is always a double edged sword. You can miss the best you have seen in the interest of finding something better. I personally would not buy a high mileage Jaguar, the likes of what you are quoting of around or approaching 100K miles. I also prefer petrol engines as although they might be a bit heavier on fuel, I do not believe that in the long run a diesel is any cheaper to run in the long run when you take into account servicing costs etc, etc. The fact of cam chain instead of a belt also gives me more comfort. It does though boil down to "each to their own and personal choice." There are members here that will disagree on my point of view / preference and will thoroughly recommend a diesel engine. As I said, "each to their own" Best of luck with finding the right car for you. Regards, John

Mike Sounds like a good move to me. All the best with doing the job. Regards, John

Stephen All be it a "temporary time scale/fix" but I would be very concerned about safety and the balance of the car, let alone any legal matters that may crop up in an incident. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Mike Test the brake fluid to see what water content there is. There are some relatively cheat ones on Ebay that appear to work accurately. I have one of them and have had it compared to the more complex equipment at my main dealers, with same result. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174970386752 Best Wishes and Regards, John

David Good luck with sorting the problem. I am certain someone on this Forum will have words of advice for you. Welcome to the Club. Regards, John

Wondering if this may help you. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Puzzle

That will cost you an arm and a leg. Key Fobs are advertised for sell on Ebay. That may be a cheaper way of proving if it is the fob. Regards, John
