Every year, 1.3 million people are killed and 50 million injured on the world’s roads. Carmakers are racing to create a vehicle that will never crash, but can it be done and will drivers accept a computer that overrides their driving? Would you let a computer override you at the wheel?

Over the last few weeks we have been experiencing a few issues with the server. One of them was quite a big problem with server partitions which I solved. Today we had quite a bit of downtime, and with that we had a few locked tables in the database due to this interuptions corrupting transactions with th database. I have taken steps to get these downtimes to a minimum today. I have also commisioned technicians to see why we are having total failiure of the server and if it continues then I shall be moving the club to a new server asap. My apologies for this and please be rest assured I will try my best to get things running smoothly again as soon as possible.

We have secured 40 places for the Jaguar Factory Tour for the end of March. We will open up the register in January so please keep checking back. On the day we also normally visit the Museum which is a 15 min drive away from the factory and also stop at a pub for lunch. It's great to make a great whole day of Jaguar goodness :)

Hi Grant I recommend getting a Parrot system installed.. excellent peice of kit that will import your contacts and also allows you to voice dial. Enjoy the new car when you get it :)

Welcome to the Jaguar Owners Club Bill :) Enjoy the cat :)

You might be able to get a used switch... never taken one out to be honest. Should'nt be that expensive new

Yeah I see what you mean.. but if 1 person rates it as 1 star then it will show one. If 2 others give it 5 then it will show 4 stars until there are enough votes to make it 5.

Over the last week or so the site has had it’s ups and downs with downtime. This was due to us filling up one of our partitions on the server which holds the databases. This morning I have moved the the databases to a much larger partition and should no longer cause any issues. Apologies for this and hopefully it is now all sorted and you guys can get on enjoying the club. cheers Steve

There has been a date set for a factory tour in march... I cannot give the exact date until i open up the entry form. Keep your eyes open for an email with a link to the entry form. We are also looking at some other events real soon.

sounds like its not working properly (obviously) May be worth taking apart and checking it out, could be an easy fix.

So here is the challenge, what could you buy from http://www.autotrader.co.uk for 3000 quid or less? The winner will be based on performance and price. It can be any brand and must be road legal. Post your answers and even a link if you can. Remember it has to be under 3k.

Hi And welcome to the Jaguar Owners Club Which Lights do you have come on?

Hi Angus Welcome to the Jaguar Owners club. Feel free to post up a picture of your XJS :)

Personally the stype is much more refined, but the x-type is still quite a luxury motor. The x-type gets a lot of stick for it's ford connections, but still a nice looking motor, better looking than the older s-type models in my opinion, although they improved the s-type in the facelift model Best thing is to have a test drive and see what you think John

Welcome to the Jaguar Owners Club Richard. It could be a faulty connection within the ABS pump module or a dirty ABS wheel speed sensor. Give the ABS sensors a clean and if that doesnt work try the ABS pump module. Eliminate those first. let us know how you get on
