Tony Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 On the strip ...And in front ..... Come on then what time was the 1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Not great really , the Jag uses the rear brakes to control traction but when i turned that off completely it just sat on the spot spinning the wheels in 1st and 2nd . best time was 13.1@114 . Need better tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Or less HP.... 13.1 is a fair time considering it's out the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 It should be a mid 12 but first meeting in March is never the best for times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I would be happy to reach the end on the same day with the Vectra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Well took the plunge with the XFR-S wheels , shod with P-Zeros (Couldnt stretch to MPSS), these ones are refurbed in shadow chrome 295/30/20 up from 285 and 265/35/20 up from 255  Cant believe how much they change the car   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Stunning .... You have a habit of modifying in a very tasteful manor. Also look at the markings on the tyre tread, they are near perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Do you mean the way they are mounted or the tread pattern ?  I didnt really want P-zeros i had the option of Continentals Force contact tyres but they only have 4.8mm from new and wouldnt last long  Might pop up in a few weeks and get the alignment checked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Yeah the deviation line on the tyre is nearly central meaning a really good build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liner33 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Grrr main dealer rip offs !  Jag is due a service , its only an interim/minor/A service so just an oil change  Jaguar have a fixed price scheme for vehicles over 3 years old and they state £199 for this service BUT it seems that this is voluntary and my local dealer wants £385.52 to do it , failing that the next nearest wants £458!

SHAHZ Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Unbelievable, for an oil change!  This is what i hate about main dealers, why cant they be a little more competitive, reminds me when BMW wanted to try and charge me £250 odd per tyre!  Would have thought you would have done it yourself, unless you want the service book kept up to date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Ask the to brake the bill down?.... Or maybe they charge £300ph labour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Ask the to brake the bill down?.... Or maybe they charge £300ph labour? I did parts used = oil & oil filter drain plug* and screen wash , thats it  No separate costings for labour thats a fixed price  I have 2 years Jaguar warranty with the car so need to have a proper service done with Jag parts and stamp in the book . Otherwise I would DIY  *the car is designed for an oil extractor so i doubt they touch the sump plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAHZ Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Ahhh of course! 2 year warranty is pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4UL T Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 At those prices maybe it may be worth traveling to one participating in the £199 scheme? Make a day trip out of it? Somewhere by the coast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Now that reads like a better deal.. Still expensive but better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 yeah one in Basingstoke which is about 45 mins away will do the £199 deal so I'll kick my heels in the shops and/or cinema i reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'll have to take the Lexus to Guildford when it's due the service and MOT, it's on a trading estate so I don't know what I'll do to kill the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 It must be near something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 It's Lexus they will drop you off in town and pick you up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
