Thanks Mike. I was actually looking for a named kit supplier. I intend doing it with a slow drill and will also require the UV proof coating to apply after I have done the job. I have done it a few times before and was actually wondering if anyone had any experience of a supplier, other than the one I have used before. Best Wishes and Regards, John

I have had plenty of experience of the NEC with several manufacturers I have had over the years. I know only too well how much the place is a rip off for anything you want to purchase. It would never cross my mind to go there now these days, even with how near to me it is. Best Wishes, John

Has anyone any recommendations/favourites or "no go" in respect of which kit to buy to restore plastic lenses on Headlamps ? Many thanks and Best Wishes, John.

Peter There are many Jaguar specialist around that are thought well of and quite often equally as good as Jaguar Dealers. Their advantage is that they are usually considerably cheaper to deal with than Jaguar Dealers. You could contact one or more and ask them to quote for re-building your engine or ask their advice on what to do. I do not personally know of one in Dorset, but no doubt there is one somewhere. I do know of one in Somerset that is always well recommended. Swallows Jaguar. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Stephen The 2012 was the last update Jaguar produced for S-Type. May be there are some non genuine items around. Regards, John

Roger Are we going to see a report or update about this track day. Always good to hear about the events afterwards. Regards, John

Julie Hope you had a good day and a large number of members turned up./ Best Wishes and Regards, John

Andrew Good luck with selling your Dad`s Jaguar. I have a similar story (except I am the Dad (73) ), in this case. Sounds a familiar story with what were once deemed extremely desirable (now Classic) becoming Jaguars. The problem with the story is that it will probably want someone with deep pockets or a younger person who has the energy, motivation and skill to bring the car back to life. Good Luck and Best Wishes, John

£40 sounds a lot of money. However, you are talking of Jaguar, who are never cheap with anything. I normally use only genuine parts, but for a service record I would go for a cheaper method. Like the downloadable freebie. Regards, John

Personally I would be inclined to have a new radiator, first cost usually being the least cost. Especially if the repair lets go at some stage and you lose all of the water. Regards and Best Wishes, John

Hi all, just wanted to get the job done this time. I say that as I have seen there is an alloy gearbox pan cover. This costs about £125.00 and the filter kit is £56 when you do an oil change. Are they any good? Do they fit? Has anyone used one? What would your opinion be? Despite what Jaguar might advise, I had mine done at 60,000 miles (about 7,000 miles ago). I would recommend that you use genuine Jaguar Parts. Best Wishes and Regards, John

There are kits on Ebay and there are also people who will supply and fit new linings . I would agree that for a professional looking job it is not a self fix item, unless you are skilled in that art. Best Wishes and Regards, John

Is it a full Jaguar service history or just stamps in a service record from anywhere/everywhere. If Jaguar Service History you could probably acquire a full recorded history from the dealer network. Good Luck and Best Wishes, John
