hi Paul may i ask where you got the clips from as i was thinking of doing the same thing with the x type est regards Ron

welcome kevin

that's what id check first and maybe put some new rubber fig 8's on first the old one's may be a bit worn they are only a few £ or could be a heat shield rattle. not too sure about the s type hope this helps Julie regards ron

try pj Jones they sell on ebay

i think you need to go back and get the invoice checked out that seems a hell of lot of money for little work this is just like when MR clutch wanted to charge me 1000 + shopped around and got it for 495 supply & fitted you have to watch some of these garages see a jaguar & up goes their prices. heres hoping she gives you many untroubled miles and you dont have to put your hand in your back pocket too often ron

at least you have some good news david very strange about the jack thou i have never liked the scissor jack nasty things and very unstable regards ron
