yes trevor your right im a big softie anything for a quiet life. but if you fancy swaping yours for mine could do that mind you my birthday not till aug but ive got a nice bently picked out haha

haha i know trevor i just go with the flow any thing for peace. get the vauxhall tomorrow that should keep her happy that were a two car home again.remembered i drove one a few years ago and the seats were uncomfortable so will see tomorrow as ive only gave a deposit. done the insurance though £340 and paid it. but shes happy for now .

the spaces in car parks are to small, think weve all had doors damaged at some point . i park mine well away from any one else if i can

thanks for the advice trevor and peter to. since ive stopped working we have put on a lot of weight. HM blames the medication. which is partly true. but all the chocolate ,ice cream and all the other rubbish and portion size at meal times are to blame. as is lack of exercise is to blame. i could do with losing 3and half stone . my suits dont fit anymore. we are renewing our vows on 24th next month was hoping to lose a stone before that or its a new suit

never liked tripe my grand parents loved it poor mans steak up here me and HM started a diet last week not going to well was out with mother for lunch after HM s scan steak pie chips&veg followed by ice cream and strawberries . well had 3 of the 5 a day but thats including chips o well always next week

haha nice one trevor. can tell you one thing though the ladys got taste. ive only had one car years ago rimi red a peugeot forgive my spelling hopeless at it. but i think peter may have something there im not at all keen on red as a car colour . people used to say years ago that green cars were unlucky. but maybe thats being silly. could start a new topic regards charlie

yes trevor still got my magic xk as i call her her in doors aint getting me to sell that. no this is just for running day to day so its cheaper more practical can get mother and the dogs in it so pick it up monday get my mate to check it over. use the jag at weekends. so apart from going to local hospital with HM this morning MMR SCAN to see if thers a brain ther. its just the doctors want to check shes ok and should give us all peace of mind. every thing will be happy in happy valley fingers crossed

took HM out for a drive this morning endend up at harry fairnbourghs dealership in glasgow coz in her eyes the xk is not practical im now the owner of an insignia 1.8 light grey diesel looks ok inside dont like the look outside its a vauxhall its for the dogs she said were retired do you want to live in a caravan

Sorry Clive I should have added that you should check out the independent garages recommended on this site buy other jag owners there might be one close to you Charlie

hi clive welcome to the club. i would get them checked maybe the spring is needing replaced or lubricated with that copper paste the garages use it could be simple but better to be safe. charlie

haha mine years ago had a habit of hiding money around the house (happy days) have told my two boys if any thing had to hapen to us dont throw anything out without looking into it. her mother was worse she was a wee spider haha

haha ther all bonkers trevor, mines own name is elizabeth king i call her HM haha thank god she is not i would have lost my head years ago haha

hi trevor i myself think the new xj is a beautifil car sometimes wish i had bought one before i sold up.but always wanted a sports car wich we couldnt afford in the early years. so the xk was my present for being up at 4 in the morning and all the worry . but im very happy with the xk love it.and im retired now over a year (looking after HM as i call her) i couldnt affort to go to that expense for a car. keep the jag keep the pennies charlie

hi tom welcome on board, 53,000 is nothing . just mind check your oil levels often. happy motoring charlie

hi karl spoke to my mate just ther he thought about 7ltrs but cant be sure. he said to tell you after 6ltrs just add quarter litrs at a time. sorry i cant be of use charlie

i would to trevor its got the speed and power yets more practical. thats the only downside of the xk. i love it but its not got the space. i sold the wifes c180 nice little car but wishing i had not now as we have 2 dogs and my mothers in her 80s . so mutch im starting to look about for a small 4 door car for using daily and keep the jag for weekends cheers charlie

good peter its a loot cheaper than saga charlie

wow peter thats to mutch. i go on to compare the market go compare ect but compare the market has been the cheaper and if you or the wife have a club card then its even better . try it . every little helps

hi guys i use compare the market as well think their the best and you get more off if you have a tesco club card. i just renewed mine on the 30april with privilage full comp with the legal pack and free breakdown £228 didnt try jag ins at that price lol

hi steve thers 2 points on the car that you can unlock manualy . 1st is on the passenger door handell. thers a wee plastic bit that slides of letting you put the key from the fob in to unlock it then pop the bonnet open. second is behind the rear number plate. take it off thers a key point ther. allowing you to gain acsess to the battery wich is in the bulk head. failling that get the aa or rac . hope this has been helpfull charlie

sorry alan should have looked at your location. thers a place in bristol. bristol transsmisionsn also zf- rated charlie

hi allan jaguar say the gearbox oil should last the lifetime of the car. as do bmw audi merc ect. but in reality thats not true. some of us up here in central scotland 30 odd of us all jags old and new attended a tour at mackies automatic transmissions here in glasgow. a factory tour. and the sealed for life gearbox oil was blown out the water. mackies say that you should get the gear box oil and thers a filter in ther to changed between every 50-60,000 miles. they are the only zf rated place by all manufactures here in scotland. cost about 2-300 quid. you would have to google it up to see whos close to you.my xk is approaching 50,000 and i intend to have it done this year charlie

oh thats handy thanks trevor

hi guys what is valet mode for!!!!

hi i posted this subject to see what other jag drivers thing about the daytime running lights.my first experience of driving was with moter bikes was when driving during the day to drive the bike with the lights on so that you can be seen. bikers call it the arsole factor as they say which is true that all moter ists are arseholes. whom have no conssideration for other road users, in many a case to be true as we all see in a day to day experience. todays modern cars are fitted with daytime running lights i call them fairy lights. and wee see all types ect. to me its a money grabbing exercise . it seems that every 2yrs they change and you fell out of place if you havnt got the latest model. welcome your views
