Kevin, Stop moaning, it could be worse, it could be an Aston! ATB, Trevor

Peter, Welcome to the club, i'm sure you will find all you need here. The XK's are fab aren't they ? think I prefer the look to the F Type . Considered the F type, but they only had the one with the dinky toy engine at the time, so I opted for the XKR, which is fab. Might take a look at the F Type R coupe at some point in the future , but at the moment i'm well pleased with the XKR (pics in the gallery somewhere) . Don't forget to post some pics please. ATB, Trevor

Daniel, I've found " 21 mini red sunblind " , don't know if it's correct or not, but won't hurt to try , think it's 10 amp. ATB, Trevor

Peter, Since the heart attack (flat liner) I build all my own food. I don't eat any known fat salt or sugar . So I don't eat sausages, beefburgers, bacon , or the like. (mind you I never did) . I think you are correct about the ready made meal and takeaways, that is why the country is becoming obese and diabetes 2 is on the rise. People are just storing up trouble for themselves . I think my heart attack was more to do with smoking, drinking, looking after the wife without any help, bringing up the kids, and doing three jobs . It was probably God's punishment for me being half Welsh also ! ATB, Trevor

Peter, I probably would . It is amazing the amount of junk food that the supermarkets get in for the visitors. They must change their eating habits whilst on holiday, I can't believe they eat like that at home . In the 70's I uses to work for Dennis's (the fire engine people) in Guildford in Surrey. The also used to make ambulances . At one stage they used to put Jag engines in them , but discontinued doing so after while because the drivers kept crashing them due to the power (especially along the Hog's Back) ATB, Trevor

Charlie, I must admit I do live on holiday, although it feels strange at the moment as there isn't any rain ! Off to London Village on Wednesday to see my daughter receive her doctorate . Shame I have totally blocked up ears at the moment, the health centre can't syringe them as the machine has gone away for repair (£138 on Amazon, same machine) . But they did say to pop in from time to time tp see if it's mended, bless them , could only happen in Devon!. Hope they're fixed by the following week though. as I'm off to London Village again to see some music. So in the meantime if you could type a bit louder I'd be grateful . ATB, Trevor ATB, Trevor

Kevin, There are just two types of opinions, other peoples, and ours, the correct ones . ATBH, Trevor

Chris, Subtle sounds cool . This is the pic of the one I had, they are not very clear in the picture (pun intended), but they were a right pain. They were the only thing I didn't like about the car. http://www.jaguarownersclub.com/forums/gallery/image/389-car/ ATB, Trevor

Daniel, This link will enable you to download an electrical guide in PDF form, it might be of some use. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=11&ved=0CDgQFjAK&url=http%3A%2F%2Fjaguar.bttlxe.com%2Fstype%2FS-Type%25202003%2520Elec%2520Guide.pdf&ei=MxHMU4PEH-mM7QbXxID4CQ&usg=AFQjCNEgujHEA2nYRIpI_hakUmbUsC-1TQ&sig2=Tsdmn3GTTthD9xspEe35gw ATB, Trevor

Charlie, I do like other people, but not when they're clogging up our dirt tracks with caravans (we do have hotels and camp sites down here). It isn't that i have anything against cyclists , I just happened to be the first on the scene at a fatal accident involving a 16 year old a few years back, and I fear for their safety every time I see one . Did you know that Peter has been done for speeding on a tandem, and on normal bicycle ? In all fairness, I must admit I'm quite impressed! ATB, Trevor

Another thing that has annoyed me. Talk about robbing ********. I pay £475 road tax a year, not been to central London for 30 years, yet I have to pay £11-50 congestion charge for the privilege of doing so this Wednesday! ATB, Trevor

Peter, Most of the northerners are down here on the dole at the seaside ! ATB, Trevor

Glyn, I love Devon anytime there are not any visitors ! ATB, Trevor

Glyn, I agree, cull the lot of them ! Devon is murder when the grockles arrive isn't it ? ATB, Trevor

Daniel, Welcome to the club I'm sure you will enjoy the Jag, if you need any help with anything just ask, there is usually someone who has the answer. ATB, Trevor

And the stealerships wonder why we give them a wide berth !

Chris, I had tinted rear windows in the XJ supersport, and hated them. They really cut down on your vision when you want to filter into traffic. Charlie, LED lighting is fab, even got it in the house and on my marine fish tank! ATB, Trevor

Charlie, The Jags are better than Mercedes . My friend's wife works for Mercedes in Nottingham and can get me one trade price. Had a look but didn't think they were a patch on my (at the time) XJ Supersport . There is no pleasing women, they know as much about cars as they do about the offside rule. Mine now thinks the XKR is fab. Mainly because when filling up with petrol for my trip to London village I mistakenly got caught up in a festival of music and arts, which was opposite the garage, which was packed with peeps buying food and drinks and stuff . They were all raving over the Jag and telling her how lucky she was to own one, so she now likes it, and has gone off Ferraris . All the punters wanted to have a sit in the car, but the wife told them it was a vegetarian free zone ! ATB, Trevor

Chris, I think they look better than the clear ones, had clear covers on all the indicators and rear lights on The Aston, thought they looked really odd ! ATB, Trevor

Chris, Sorry forgot about you, didn't meant to be selfish, how about make them all head towards Liverpool then? ATB, Trevor

Glyn, I still hate cyclists also. But now it's the holiday season I hate caravaners even more down here in Devon . They should be made to head North by law ! ATB, Trevor (fed up of being held up by those holiday maker's tin cans)

Colin, Pleased everything is sorted. Not fond of main dealers as I find them well over priced and the tend to talk through their ***** ! I have told the dealership in Exeter that I will only be using them if anything crops up under warranty. All servicing will be done at an independent garage. ATB, Trevor

Peter, I shall have it pressed and in dynamic mode going down the A303 next Wednesday early doors. I've never worried About MPG, I was just jesting, although it does do over 30MPG on a run as I stated. Overall it averages 21 MPG ATB, Trevor

Peter, I can even get over 30MPG in mine if I use the sat nav on a run. ATB, Trevor

Welcome Pete, The car sounds fab, but I reckon you should do what Peter suggests and get an XJ as well. Just traded in my XJ Supersport for and XKR, it was a fab car, would fully recommend one . ATB, Trevor
