Hello From Lincolnshire.
Nige(l) A little tip, personal number plates are a tad naff , but if you must do it, the cheapest way is to change your name by deed poll to your cars registration, £15 on the net, sorted ! ATB, Trevor

Hello From Lincolnshire.
Nige(l), Does TLC stand for True Lincolnshire Care ? I was in Taunton last week, not far from me but a fair trek from you , so that's two XK's they've seen in Somerset now ! Your sat nav was correct, they are normal roads here in the West Country.My jag sat nav is really good, no problems at all with it . Do you always travel in herds in Lincolnshire ? My XKR http://www.jaguarownersclub.com/forums/gallery/album/129-jaguar-xkr-2012/ ATB, Trevor

Hello From Lincolnshire.
Welcome Nige ( I really cannot call you that ) , . As Peter said they are very friendly bunch here and normally find ways to solve problems, some of them even car related . " Not in the first flush of youth " you claim , Peter and myself used to take it turns to babysit Queen Victoria . I'm sure you will enjoy the XK8, they are cracking cars. ATB, Trevor ( nouveaux pensioner) P.S., Hendrix really is my proper name by the way

Frustrated New Jag Owner
Pete, Sorry to hear about your troubles. I agree with Peter , I have found the main dealers of no use whatsoever apart from buying the car from , or part exchange, they tend to talk though their ***** . Try what Peter said, I'm sure you will find the correct part, and a lot cheaper than the main dealer will. You could try these: http://www.jagspares.co.uk/home.asp I hope you get your problems sorted shortly, I have had two jags, the latest being a XKR , and they have been the best cars I have ever had , far, far better than the two Aston Martins i've owned ( you think you've had trouble, don't get me started on Aston Martins ) ATB, Trevor ( nouveau pensioner)

Thank you young man, no bus pass for me, owning a Jag and getting a bus pass is a bit like buying a dog and barking yourself ! ATB, Trevor P.S. In Devon we live on holiday, and now it is caravan free !

Happy Birthday, Trevor.
\peter, Thank you , don;t have anything to do with governments , still seething that Tony Blair got the Peace award from GQ magazine, what next, the McCann's getting the baby sitter of the year award ? I have also been grumpy for years, and another benefits of being a pensioner is that I no longer get the carers allowance for looking after the wife. But must grumble, ATB, Trevor

Hello all
Martin, Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy it, you should find the answer to most of your problems here . Just read your post on main dearlers, but best not to get me started on those bunch of crooks this early on the morning! ATB, Trevor

what do main dealers do in a service?!
Martin. Firstly welcome . In my experience main dealers charge extortionate prices for little and poor work , whilst telling you how necessary and wonderful they are . I use an independent garage over a main dealer as do a lot of other people (not just Jaguar). If main dealers were so good, why would there be a need for independent garages, and how come they can get genuine Jaguar parts cheaper ? Here a list of recommended independent garages . http://www.jaguarownersclub.com/forums/topic/7304-recommended-independent-garages/ ATB, Trevor
