Very nice! Mine has a dent in that exact same spot, very annoying. Would be interested to hear how she sounds with that system. They do look great on those wheels, don't they?!

Additional, I concur with the others - it may be best that this is left with a professional.

Hi all, Generally one has to run through a procedure to check an automatic gearbox level. It's not just a "wipe it and dip it" job (oooo-errr). You would have to check the procedure, however I suspect it would be drive the vehicle til warm, then with your foot on the brake run it through all the gear positions (P to 2) twice, leaving it in park. Then remove and wipe dipstick, insert and check level - you may have to do this several times for a true reading as a pool of oil tends to form at the base of the dipstick tube. I hope this helps. Simon.

Thanks Peter. It's not without its dings and dents, and lacquer peel... But certainly not a bad looking car. I can't make my mind up on those wheels though! (Aesthetically). It may very well be I'll get underneath it or Saturday and find out! Other than those issues it runs like a dream. I am chuffed! Simon

Today I took the keys for my first Jaguar. A '95 X300, very similar to one which my father used to have. I picked it up this morning and it started on the button, but there was an awful shriek from the auxiliary belts... Got it back to the parents (my tools are there), gave car a wash, and adjusted the belts. I've done 85 miles in her today. There is an annoying rattle from fuel tank area, and also a vibration (I'm hoping wheel balance..) circa 55mph, so lots to do. Here she is! I'm pleased to be a part of your community, and a Jag owner!

Thanks for your welcome Peter, I've been lurking for a few days and I concur with that view. I am a trained technician, now service advisor, so I'm hopeful I can be helpful in my own way too. I'm sure I will!

Hi all, I've bitten the bullet and bought myself a Jaguar. My dad had two when I was growing up, so I have fond memories already. The best bit is my lovely other half came out on a test drive with me and she absolutely loved it! I look forward to getting to know you all. Simon
