Thank you for the messages. I know people who have not had it all their own way with the 75, but apart from being lucky, I swear by the Honest John website for hints and tips, regular oil changes from a trusted mechanic friend and generally looking at/ listening to the car. I did 181K in the old one; my Jag has 58K on it. It's a good feeling when you put your foot down in 3rd/ 4th. Looked at S type but thought X type would better suit. Great visibility all round with the estate. Very high quality leather on the seats (compared to facelift 75s though even these have stood the test time). I think Peter puts it well when he talks of the Jag as more of a driver's car. Simon

Dear All, Enjoyed 11 years trouble free motoring in the R75 (still on original exhaust) and switched to a 2.2D SE est last week. Rover build quality is a fraction better, and maybe its poise on the motorway, but apart from the firmer ride the Jag is much more fun. Great accel, great stereo and fantastic heated seats. I hope the economy can match the rover, but very pleased with the switch indeed.
