First Jag Owner

[P.Smith1958]

Hi folks, ive just got my first Jaguar after having a Merc E320 Aventguard

I bought a 59 plate FX Diesel, well happy with it so far (1 day)

only 40054 miles on clock, so I think I got a bargain at 9k ;)

Welcome to the club, Paul.

I am aways rather pleased when I get into my s type.

Regards,

Peter.

Looks very good Paul! Some good cars out there at the moment for very reasonable money.

As it's diesel and with a low mileage may I suggest you try two fuel products.  I've used them on my 3L diesel XJ and they've made a significant difference in refinement & running. Early days but looked to have improved the fuel consumption.  It would be good to hear another opinion particularly as there is a lot of debate about diesel cars at the moment.

Both products are made by Archoil in the States.The first is a cleaner for the fuel system, injectors, turbos, DPF & catalyst, the second is a fuel improver.  The latter seems significantly better than the Millers product I have used. they are:

Archoil AR6400-D MAX Professional Diesel Engine, Turbo, DPF & CAT Cleaner Concentrate

Archoil AR6900-D Max Advanced Fuel Synthesis

Both are available through

I don't have any links to these companies but they came up when I looked for info on DPF's, fuel quality and engine Oil.

I came across this site:

http://www.oilem.com

which is certainly worth a read. The author is a oil/triboligist mechanical engineer and speaking as a ex pro chemist the info appears to be correct & moreover makes sense!

I found his views on engine oils and fuels quite thought provoking.
