Dear Peter, Works well with the Supercharger on my XJ also ATB, Trevor

Welcome Dan, Which part of that there Hampshire are you from/ I used to live in Alton . If you need any help or advice on anything there is usually someone around who can help ATB, Trevor

Welcome Clive, Everyone seems to be a part of a friendly bunch on here and very willing to help, so don't be afraid to ask should you need anything. ATB, Trevor (Old but durable)

Peter, I'm up early every morning, at 5-00am , and take the wife's dog out for a long walk, the water thank goodness seems to be receding. ATB, Trevor (he early rising one)

Welcome Doug, If we can help in any way please feel free to ask ATB, Trevor (the one who's daughter lives in San Francisco)

Mathew, This is what has annoyed us down here in the West Country, and I wrote to the BBC about it. Soon as it affects London or the home Counties it's big news, they even have "Flood Specials" and the Royal Family helping out! I have got away quite lightly really, although I'm dreading the builders repair bill . The poor devils on the Somerset levels have been under water for over five weeks and have lost everything. It just seems to us that it's London, the Home Counties, and then the rest . ATB, Trevor

Peter, I took it down to Newlyn. The house is nearly back to normal now . ATB, Trevor ( The webbed feet one) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26201276

I was flashed by a speed camera today. No idea why, I was only doing 30 knots. ATB, Trevor (Drying out slightly)

Mathew, Sounds fab ! Only had my Jaaaaag since October but i'm loving ever minute of it . Far better than the Aston Martin in every way ! ATB, Trevor

Peter, It has to stop raining first , you can tell we have a lot of rain when the Welsh complain about it ! ATB, Aqua Trevor

Josh. Steve is lucky he can give his Jaaaag such loving tender care , he would find it a tad different if he was a West Country resident like us . I don't know about you , But I'll be pushed to refurbish the rigging and touch up the plumb line before relaunching the XJ on Saturday ! ATB , Trevor ( Just trying to fathom things out )

It is never not wet in the West Country. ATB, Trevor

Thanks for pointing out the typo, the rain must have got to me ! ATB, Trevor

Mike, Does it really weigh two tons, I've never weighed it? Thought it was fairly light because it was made of aluminum . ATB, Trevor (The one who can't swim!)

Josh, As you live in the same area as me I suggest you make sure it has a decent set of Oars ! ATB, Trevor

Josh. I find dealerships well overpriced . Luckily I have a friend who owns a garage locally who will maintain my Jag far cheaper than any dealership will, he can supply the parts cheaper and the labour costs are far less . I didn't even ask what warranty was offered for £1200, my initial enquiry was over Jaguar assistance after the warrant had run out. I was told it was only available if the warranty was extended. So the RAC it will be. I had previously had very poor and expensive service from the same dealership over my two Aston Martins I had bought from them , and before that the same with a BMW franchise . All these people seem to be interested in is taking your money, excessive prices for parts, and very high labour charges . If I ever purchase a Jag through a dealership again, which I doubt, I shall use the one in your neck of the woods, Taunton . ATB, Trevor (drying out slightly)

My BMW's were convertibles (in Devon!) but one was black, and the other light blue . ATB, Trevor (Also on a hill, but the tide comes down instead of in and out here, even the Welsh are complaining!)

My daughter insists that all white BMW's are driven by drug dealers, I'd like to know how she knows . My Supersport is white (Polaris white) , I hope that doesn't put me in the same class as above . ATB, Trevor (Being typed underwater in Devon)

The stealership wanted £1200 to extend my warranty (from next Feb) so it will be PAYG. ATB, Trevor (the webbed feet one from Devon)

I nearly bought one before I got the Supersport , the XFR-S is a lot dearer than the XFR, and is not a lot faster , in fact the dealership had a lot of trouble getting rid of it. I'm glad I chose the Supersport , as it has a far higher tech,and being an aluminum body it is only slightly slower than XFR-S , but with a lot more comfort . I have a feeling it might just become the white elephant of the range , with people opting for the XFR which is considerably cheaper, or the F type R coupe when it is on sale . Just my opinion , so don't take it too literally. ATB, Trevor

Weather can't be as bad as it is here, the tide is coming down instead of in and out . ATB, Trevor (The pi***d off with the weather one)

gosh, I feel like a grown up (Kylie would do). glad to be of help. ATB, Trevor (the old juvenile one)

Try this John. http://www.stallard-engineering.co.uk/stories/Jaguar/XJ8%20Remote%20key%20fob.htm ATB, Trevor (The old one)

Welcome Dave, Obviously you will enjoy your Jag, it sounds fab, they seem a friendly bunch on here, they even put up with me! If you need a hand or need to know anything i'm sure there will be someone with the expertise to help . ATB, Trevor (the old one)

She is lovely, wouldn't say no to the car either ! ATB, Trevor (The old one)
