  1. 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 ?

  2. 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.

    P.S., Hendrix really is my proper name by the way

  3. 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:

    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 )

  4. \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,

  5. 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,

  6. 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 .

  7. Kevin,

     

    Thank you, but It is next week, September 5th , same day as Jesus and Freddy Mercury , got the daughter and family down at the moment so hopefully they will stop here doing anything stupid.

     

    But I'm in the right place, Devon, God's waiting room !

     

    ATB,
