[Jim and his Moggy]

Just picked up my 2001 XKR yesterday, drove home (bout 180 miles) Moggy purred all the way and kept me grinning like a loon! :-)

Today had to move off my drive for insurance photos and "restricted performance" running lumpy took my grin away :-(

Any thoughs would be welcomed?

I'm putting it in to a trusted fitter Thurs hoping it's not going to be too much of a wallet emptying experience.

Welcome Jim, Sorry to hear the cat was not well, did you check to see if there is any obvious signs like loose leads etc, could be worth having a chat with the previous owner or dealer if bought from a garage, good luck. Alan :D

Much obliged Al.

I did actually cast an eye but nothing obviously loose.

I've just been snooping around online and I'm hoping a faulty coil(s) or plug(s) may be the culprit.

I'll post something if my fitter susses it out.

Moggy has been to a new vet. :(

Glen of Jaguar and Aston Martin Specialist Ltd.

Got his big Speak and Spell plugged in and Bingo!! :D

Plug or coil set No 3 misbehaving, in Tuesday afternoon and went on to give me more information than wikipedia about just how good the XKR really is and how them being bad can easily be avoided!!

After a tour of his facilty I've gotta say, it's very doubtful anyone else will be playing about with Mog!!
