  1. The colour works well with the shape, very nice indeed.
  2. Hi Gavin, Google is your friend for independent Jaguar garages, but take care to check their reputation. There are differing opinions but unless the car has had some hard track day runs or has exceptionally high mileage there's usually no need to change the gearbox or Diff fluids. What is the mileage car and what's its service history like? The job can be done DIY, others are better placed to advise on the technique. If you are at all unsure of its service history then it might be advisable to have the fluid changed just to set your mind at rest. Some dealerships will give your car a health check and thorough inspection, which might be a good idea. Good luck with your wee beastie.....enjoy. Rgds Taz
  3. Hi Knightsmith, Agreed , it's a damn shame about the budget tyres, some are quite lethal. We call them TBD's (Tyres By Darwin) in our house. I've often wondered how often crashes in poor conditions, bends etc can be attributed to TBD's. There are some very decent budget tyres out there but I wonder about it when I see a tyre that would fit my rims advertised at £45.00! It just bothers me that out there, is someone in a quick(ish) car with £45.00 tyres on driving in poor conditions, who might have stop suddenly or swerve violently to avoid an incident and end up being the cause of one. I wonder if there's ever been a survey of crashes and the tyres involved?
  4. Hi Peter, Interesting you should say the Pirellis are a bit noisy, I thought I was the only who thought so. My R came fitted with P Zero's hated the damn things! Had them off sharpish and just binned them. Awful damned tyre! Quite impressed so far with Vredestein's and equally so with the Goodyears on my others. I think it'll be case of Goodyear or Vredestein in future depending on availability. Seems a shame but I expect they'll discontinue them eventually and replace them with something !Removed! awful as so many other excellent tyres have been.
  5. Hi Peter, Just had a quick peek at the prices: Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta £158.80 Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric XL 140.70 Prices are for rear tyre both with rim protection, in stock and available from My Tyres.com, price includes VAT and delivery. I run the Goodyears on all my other cats, I'm trying out the Vredestein US's because a friend of mine has been using them at a test facility and gave them top marks after testing in a wide variety of conditions (they abuse them really) on a variety of surfaces at the facility of a certain Germanic manufacturer he works for. I agree with you so far that price seems the only arbiter. I tend to drive all my cats hard when possible. Lol
  6. Hi, mine is fitted with Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's all round. They feel secure, traction is good when pulling away hard, cornering is firm under pressure and progressive in the dry and in the wet. The ride is good, road noise not intrusive, wear looks very good after 4,700mls appx. Can currently be bought from My Tyres at a very good price. Hope this helps Taz
