Well interestingly enough, would you believe the dealer rang me up with a "courtesy call". I told the problem that I been having and that there was a damaged tyre which was dangerous which had gone through their workshop and predelivery inspection. They just said that they would look at the file and I don't think they really believe me but I can assure you I shall not buy another car from them and I certainly wouldn't have a vehicle go through their workshop which is as slipshod as this. When I spoke to the previous owner who admitted he'd had problems with potholes in Portugal, he even told me how much the garage had given me for his car, they made a £3000 profit, and he also told me how much he paid for his new car and what sort of discount he got on it so we were talking on very friendly terms. Basically he wanted to get rid of the car as he knew that there were problems and he didn't fancy one of the new models and had got money to spend – – like £50,000 :-) if there are any developments from this I will keep everybody posted. I wish I had approached Jaguar direct, because Jaguar UK have got a reputation to keep and obviously the dealer who I dealt with was just after a "quick profit". Though having so said that the actual representative that I dealt with was highly professional and I think was unaware of the problem with the vehicle, I feel I need to be fair to him. Alastair
