Welcome aboard Mark! I suspect we're all a little biased in favour of S Types here! 😛 A pic of mine to (hopefully) encourage you to post a pic of yours! Lots of knowledge on here and all friendly.

Sorry to hear of your troubles, i wish your wife well for a speedy recovery. I suffer back trouble myself, no metal rods as yet but i can definitely relate to, if not fully understand the discomfort your wife is in. Looking at your pics, the B post and C post are both bent, the chassis is bent (hence the misdirected NSR wheel) so would almost certainly need to be jigged and jigs don't come cheap, even on a rental basis to bodyshops. Then there's the obvious costs of the doors, any other panels (eg wheelarch) and so on plus the cost of a complete respray so that the paint matches. Wouldn't be much different for a partial respray as almost a complete side will need painting then blended in to the rest of the car, resprays are generally quoted at between £3-6k at the moment, depending on the quality. I hope your insurers start playing the game properly and give you a decent settlement offer.

If you find the actual transciever unit you should be able to find an IMEI number on it. You should also be able to get it to display the IMEI by typing *#06# and once you have this number, contact your airtime provider and they will tell you whether they produce a compatible SIM and if the phone will work (assuming no other faults exist on the phone) with the current technology.

Interesting that it's a known problem, hope they come up with a solution soon!

Welcome to the forum Gwilym!

Welcome aboard Matthew! Still a relative newby myself but it's a very friendly, helpful forum, hope your Jag serves for well for a very long time!

I would say if it fits your criteria for your next car then yes. They always seem to get good reviews, even from those reviewers that are somewhat scathing about British cars. All depends exactly what you want but you shouldn't go too far wrong. 😉 😄
