Last week SWMBO and I went to Devon for a week. On several occasion we were waved to and or headlamp flashed by S Type owners who many heave been club members, one close to Bovey Tracy . This sometime happens locally, but it was rather nice for someone to wave to a fellow s type owner on holiday.

It's a great feeling when you get fellow car owners waving or giving you a flash when your driving along...happens to so many makes and models...notably MG, 2CV, MX5 and so many more beside. Maybe we should start a 'Spotted driving around....' section in the forum?

Hey all, James here, a new member to the forum and proud new owner of a 2006 xkr coupe (somewhat rare over here in the US from what I gather).

Hi changing your driving style might help when you go on a run on the motorway, just keep it in a lower gear for 10 minutes or so, try to keep the revs raised for that 10 minutes not bouncing off the red, but with higher revs than normal, its not speed you need , just higher revs, by keeping your revs raised it will get the dpf up to temperature and remove any buildup in your dpf the dpf relies on temp to burn off the build up and throw it out as soot, if your cruising at low revs, the dpf never get hot enough to burn the buildup off when you get to a certain back pressure in the exhaust system, it bring on a regen and the dpf light come on, but when it clears, it only clearing enough just to clear the fault by keeping your revs up at regular intervals, to get the dpf hot and clear it self will eliminate the need for manual regens when the warning light come on some people recommend additives, to keep it clear, but it not required cheers Joe
