Thanks for your advice re jacking the car by the sill seams ( I'll heed the warning )
Bought it on a whim and thought it was a good idea at the time.

Thanks for the second battery heads up ( thought I was missing out )
My Spacesaver and associated equipment is brand new and unused, and staying like it !!! ( I hope )

Where i've fitted my Compressor, just north of the battery, there seems to be on a previous post picture a smaller battery fitted, what's all that about ?

Everythings crossed !
I've doubts about it being concluded on Saturday.
i will post the total cost ( again I've told them I want everything, as it would have been if it had come from factory fitted, we'll see eh )
Thanks for your interest.

£500, I wish !!!
Went to collect my spacesaver today, oh dear again !!!
Dealer offered to fit it for me, then found i've a sub in the boot floor so i need a host of other things for the wheel to sit on and above, besides the jack toolkit polystyrene holder. ( I did supply my Vin Number to identify my vehicle but alas eh !!!)
The saga continues ! Saturday is the next instalment.
When i came out of the dealership my vehicle was surrounded by dealership mechanics ( Sorry i meant Technicians ) They said they hadn't seen one of these before !!!

where ever I decide to have the next service it will be booked well in advance ( couple of months in fact ) to assure I get a courtesy car ( my services will be based on the yearly basis as I won't cover the mileage,
but again thanks for the advice

I'm surprised there isn't a "Jaguar Birmingham" for the servicing.
I think its psychological on my part but I always have my vehicles serviced main agent ( i think it helps when i come to offload my cars to the next owner. i would certainly only buy a car myself that's been "Main Agent'd" but that's just me )
I appreciate what you'r saying re independent servicing and can't fault those who use them, but sadly not for me. ( I've still got 2 yrs warranty to run ) and so to eliminate any "Argy Bargy" with who's done what and where.
I had a bad experience with stratstone Land Rover stourbridge ( But that's another story )

Thanks again for the advice re parts, much appreciated.
I don't think it'll be Listers when my services are due !
Might try Colliers ??

Paul,
Thank you for the photo of the space saver / Tool kit in the Sportbrake.
The Space saver I've ordered is 19" ( Jaguar claim the 18" won't fit over the bigger calipers fitted to my R S model, so I'm told ) and all the necessary ( don't really know what the necessary consists of until I collect it, Saturday now )
re torn between an A6 and an RS ? Drive an RS, I've come from a 5.0 supercharged Range Rover ( too many problems with it ) I'm loving every minute so far, You won't be disappointed i guarantee it !!!

Not unlike yourself, it's been loads of years ( hope we haven't spoke to soon ) since a puncture. Altho' I've Jaguar Roadside Assistance ( however long they take to appear I know not ) I didn't like the idea of being stranded by the roadside for the sake of being spacesaver-less !

Thanks for the welcome.
I've ordered a space saver + all the necessary from Listers in Shirley, should collect it tomorrow. ( For peace of mind ) There's no room for a full size spare wheel in mine, only just enough depth for a space saver I think, but thanks for the advice.
My vehicle has different size wheels ( width ) so weather that's the reason the car came without a space saver I know not ( Jaguar owned vehicle so assume it wasn't the price of ! )
yeah, give us a toot !!!

Thanks for the welcome.
No plans ( at present ) to change or do anything in the modification department ( but that itself could change ).
Only had my vehicle nearly a month now and at present well happy with the looks and performance ! Time will tell.
Only dislike so far is "The puncture repair kit" instead of a "Space Saver"
