Jaguar Breakfast Club 7th March

Hi All

Got the beast out for a good wash & makeover after a couple of months. Ready to start the 2020 weekend drives now. Is anyone going to the Breakfast club this coming Saturday. Would be great to see some old & new faces alike!

Re: How many SVRs are there.

I bought mine as a demo with 2k miles. Not a single issue 4k miles later...actually the only car I’ve ever owned with zero issues so far! Hard to say how hard they are driven as demos but 1) dealer employees can’t afford to get speeding tickets and 2) the ability to take any ftype on a test drive on...

Re: How many SVRs are there.

Hi Misui Thanks for the comments. Before getting the SVR I was not a fan of red cars but I have to say with the black contrasting parts and satin wheels I fell in love with mine at first sight. It’s a stunner and gets a lot of attention. People often think it’s a Ferrari or some other exotic. I had ...

Hi folks Just got this XJL 3.0D Portfolio as my daily driver (as my SVR is a long term weekend only keeper!) so now I can drive the leaper badge all the time. 8-) Apart from having the badge and the infotainment system in common I was astounded to find out that the Torque this beast puts down from t...

Pirelli vs Michelin

Re: Calipers Cleaned

Hi Darren

What make of jack/supports do you have & is it reliable? Same question for torque wrench..... just need some good quality tools before I risk getting my alloys off!

Re: How many SVRs are there.

Nope - that’s an £8K optional extra....you can get a lot of other more useful stuff instead for that money!
