Tattersalls

If stone chips are a big issue for you I'd recommend getting a protective cover put over the front end once you've had it re-sprayed. 3M do them: http://writeonmotoring.com/features/how-to-protect-your-bmws-bodywork-from-stone-chips. Alternatively you could get a vinyl wrap over the whole thing that would set you back about £1500/ £2000 :P

Top Gear's segment on it was breath taking. I want one!

Looks like a really good day out. Hope to see u lot there!

Hi Graham, To be fair the manual I'm reading from is for my '06 X Type but the feature was also missed out on mine i.e. the buttons are all on the steering wheel but the system isn't installed. It annoys me that Jag put all these extra buttons on which do nothing if you get the basic models. XF is a sweet car though. What colour have you got?

Hi Graham, In that case its probably not installed. It is an optional extra and the handbook says that it will simply mute the stereo system if its not been added. Hope that helps. Tats

The fact that holding the lock button automatically shuts all my open windows.

Haha drowning it out with some tunes. Great shout! I've got bridgestones on all of mine - it came with them. The only thing is they're all low profile. Might take a look to see if I can fit a phatty in the arches.

I'm actually shopping around at the moment so I'll let you know what I find. Also looking at those garage networks to find some good prices :D

Thought I'd say hi and thanks to Mr Barnes for recommending me the forum. Last week I bought my first Jag - 2006 Diesel X-Type. Just had it valeted on Monday, isn't it weird how they drive even nicer after they're clean? Doesn't have too many bells and whistles - just the way I like it. Massively impressed by the quality of leather and how the turbo wakes it up on acceleration. Anyone know if the S model has all wheel or front wheel drive because I couldn't find it in my Jag handbook?
