Many thanks Frank - looking forward to learning about the cars and a bit of banter.

Good evening all. I am finally looking to buy a Jag after motoring for the last 34 years in lots of other vehicles! I am looking forward to hearing about all things Jaguar, as well as hopefully picking up some advice and help as I start my journey! Specifically, I am looking to purchase a Jag XF. However, i am torn between the sensible and the less sensible. The issues I Have read about seem rather scary (water creeping up looms into modules, main bearings spinning on the crank, electronic gremlins, modules shutting down if the battery is disconnected or the voltage drops a little! Quite a list! Put off? Well, no. I understand all cars have their issues, and I am here to find out the low down on these things, how easy they are to fix and how you can perhaps prevent them occurring in the first place. However, I am mainly here because I wish to start a mid life crisis. I can't learn to ride a motorcycle as I have been doing that since I was 16! My uncle passed away in 2022 adn he always dreamed of owning a Jag, even though in his 97 years he didn't make it. I thought I would steal the honours from (for) him. Enough rambling! Thanks for having me - I hope my questions won't seem too tedious for the more experienced!😃
