Old Peter, well I do remember my family home as a child was in Durham and I know a certain political party started to shift county boundaries about and introduce new 'unitary authorities' here abouts. Such that Yorkshireman suddenly found themselves living somewhere else! However I will look into this some more :-) Back to cars, I can see the Jag need a lot of TLC as they deserve. I have a CTEK batttery charger/maintainer also the older Optimate11.

I had mine re-mapped and it certainly made a big difference. The company I used in Wolverhampton allowed me to drive the car during the process and modified the map on the fly as I came up with suggestions. As a result, virtually eliminated turbo lag and the car was quite capable of taking on the V6 petrol S-Type, thrashing it for initial acceleration. Mid range improved out of all proportion in my view. Never had a reliability problem afterwards either.

Welcome to the club, Kevin. I have had my s type Diesel for 7 years and it has treated me rather well. I find that it is quite fast and quite economic. I have not even thought about remapping. A friend of mine [many years ago] had a remap and managed to blow the engine to scrap when showing off. For that reason, I have found that the performance for my well looked after Jaguar is just as it left the factory. But it is your choice. Some have some have not, Regards, Peter.
