Try www.camskill.co.uk they are the cheapest out there but you will need to get the tyres fitted and balanced at your local tyre shop.

I changed the whole prop shaft.

I had a XJR which did the same turned out to be the propshaft. As soon as I changed it over the car drove perfectly.

Cheers Andrew and Peter for your advice. I think I got ripped off by the dealer oh well you live and learn. Will get my car serviced from a specialist from now. Just thought a dealer is the best place to get the work done on a car. Must say Stratstone in Hainault provide the worst service. I never got an update throughout the job which took 3 days couldn't get hold of anyone at the service centre. From now on will do most of the work myself. My dad was a ex Mercedes Master Technician so will help me carry out everything on the car.

Hi All, Just like to introduce myself as a new member to the club. I purchased a s type 2.7d xs a few weeks ago one owner from new full jag history 56 plate reg November 2006 think it's a brilliant car and hopefully it should be realiable. I Purchased this as a one owner with full Jaguar service history the previous owner reccomended a full service as the car has covered 70k so I booked it on with Stratsotne in Hainualt in Essex they said it would need a new sump gasket, electric Sleeve and top up oil at a cost of £450 plus new front bushes £450 plus service £325 which I thought was crazy but got it done and I got the auto box filters changed. I've owned 3 XJRs one xj40, one x300 and one XKR in the last few years as weekend cars but I must say they are not as reliable as the Germans. But once a Jag lover always a jag lover. Do you think it's worth servicing by dealers or am I being over cautious?
