  1. Hi John, Will let you know if it works. If it does, I owe you a pint or two !!! Thanks, Graham.
  2. Hi John, That's fantastic news!!! I'll be contacting Guy Salmon first thing Monday. Many thanks for your help. Graham.
  3. Hi Roy, ALDI also do a swivel headed extendable microfibre cloth window cleaner, worked a treat on my XF. Keep your eye open for when they stock it next. Regards, Graham.
  4. Hi Frank, If you're familiar with the XK60, the exhaust is finished off with chrome tailpipe finishers protruding out of apertures on the special rear valance. These are virtually rock steady, almost no play whatsoever. I've done a test for engine mounts (foot on brake,in gear and slightly revving engine in forward and reverse). The engine doesn't rock at all, so I'm now fairly confident that the mounts are okay. I've ordered the propshaft tunnel heat shield now and am wondering whether that and a stainless exhaust system will finally cure the problem (though quite expensive). GS just want to keep charging me for any work done, even though they assured me the rear heat shield was going to solve it. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm just being pedantic, but the vibration is annoying. Has anyone else with an XK ever posted a similar problem? Peter, The coffee and bacon sandwich sounds yummy!!!
  5. Hi Peter, You get up early!! Both Guy Salmon and KwikFit have supposedly looked at the exhaust condition etc and found nothing. I'm going to ask GS to look at the mounts. Regards, Graham.
  6. Hi Peter, Thanks for the welcome, please confirm whether you mean the engine mount, or the exhaust mount. I'm thinking engine mount. Do you think this is expensive? I have a dealer warranty (Guy Salmon), Don't know whether that will cover it. Thanks, Graham.
  7. Hi Frank, Thanks for the input. The exhaust isn't touching anywhere, the engine mounts sound like a good thing to check. Sounds a bit expensive!!!
  8. Hi, My 2009 XK60 has an annoying vibration that you can hear and feel through the accelerator pedal bang on 1200 revs, I've had it in the dealership as an exhaust rattle. They changed the rear heat shield, it improved it slightly, but it's still there. If I nudged the offside tailpipe the sound would disappear. I'm not sure it's the exhaust now. Anybody got any ideas?
