Hi Chris, and welcome to the club.

Get some pics posted of your S Type. We love pics.

Polishes up rather well....

I'm still on the lookout for a rear lip spoiler and a black grille that aren't stupid money, then tints to the rear windows, fit the new plates (with a black badge down the side) when the private plate comes off and I'll be done externally. It's my daily, so no lowering or anything like that, just get it looking sexier and keep it mechanically sound

Chris,

 

Sorry forgot about you, didn't meant to be selfish, how about make them all head towards Liverpool then?

 

ATB,

 

Trevor

:D

Another small improvement (in my opinion) today. I've replaced the clear side repeaters, these........

.....with these darker ones with chromed bulbs...........

I like the chromed bulbs in these, as I'm not a fan of the 'fried egg' look created by orange bulbs. The chromed ones definitely flash orange...

I think the darker ones suit the car much better as they continue the dark flow of the black bump strips....

Glyn,

 

I still hate cyclists also. But now it's the holiday season I hate caravaners even more down here in Devon . They should be made to head North by law 

Nooooo!!!  :o

Hi and welcome to the club.

I'm new to Jags with my 2005 X-Type, and I'm loving mine too. I agree with your comment about the seats. I come from a seat building background, having spent 8 years making them for Nissan, and I have to say the Jaguar seats are more comfy than any others in any car I've owned, and that includes Volvos and Saabs.

Get some pics up of your, sorry, your wifes X-Type. We love pics.

Take Care

Chris

Hi Sam, and welcome to the club.

Great to read your enthusiastic first post, and well done on your purchase. I'm double your age (44), and have had nearly 50 cars, but I picked up my first Jaguar (an X-Type as well) a fortnight ago and love it.

Now, we love pics here, so go on, get some posted  :)

Enjoy the forums

Chris

Well, I got to the Wainstones Arms last night at about 8pm, then promptly got a phone call from my lass to say there was a leak under the sink in the kitchen! About turn!! It was nowt-nor-something to fix, but by the time I had sorted it, I couldn't be chewed to go out again, so I missed the meet. Doh!

What was it like 'popeye' Keith?

I live in Sutton Coldfield,Chris, but I know Skelton as my sister lived there  for a few years before going to live on the moors near Whitby.

 

I used to do a lot of work in Redcar at the steelworks.

 

Peter.

As you can probably deduce from my user name, I'm not a Smoggy by birth! I move down here about a year ago, and love it. Having the N.York Moors on my doorstep is great, especially when I'm sat in my Boxster ;)

Skelton-In-Cleveland, a mile or so from Saltburn-By-The-Sea.

Hi Paul, and welcome to the club.

I have had nearly 2 weeks with my first Jag, also an X-Type, and love it.

More pics please.

Chris

I'm still up for this tonight. 

I'm not au fait with Jaguars yet, but in my old Nissans the brake light would often come on when the brake fluid was low, and that would often be because the pads were close to minimum and needed changing.

Well, let's just do it then Keith  :)

I'll send you a message with my mobile number to keep in touch about it.

Yep, Keith, I'll be there. Who runs that meet?

I'm up for a drive down.

Could be dulled lenses, as mentioned above. If you end up upgrading the bulbs, I recommend Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited. Awesome bulbs, and every bit as white as HID's without the problems.

Haha, coincidence....

Although mine is an X-Type, rather than an S Type, I'm definitely up for a meet or two  :)

I'm in Saltburn by the way.

Chris

Thanks Trev.

The plate belongs to the previous owner and is in the process of being transferred, so it won't be staying on.

I've already got some new plates made up for when it changes, with some nice black side badges to tie in with the car...

Hopefully, the Jag will be my BFF (best friend forever)!! haha

Thanks, I've sent Steve a pm, no reply yet. Maybe I have to cough up to get a sticky boost of bhp. 

I did a small improvement the other day. I'm not sure if little things like this are frowned upon in the Jag world, but I've always liked yellow fog lights against darker colours. Yes, I know it's seen as either a JDM or French thing, but I just like it.....

Yay or nay, all opinions welcomed. 

Nowt wrong with Aldi. I hear God shops in there. He likes the tins of beans and sausages. 

So any meets planned, erm, anywhere? 

Or civilisation ( the south)

 

ATB,

 

Trevor

Now there's a contradictory post if ever I saw one haha

Hi guys,

Just wondering if there are any Jaguar meets in the North planned.

Cheers

Chris

Hi Stevie and welcome to the club.

How are you finding your new car? I'm new to Jags too.

Get some pics posted of your new ride.
