Then found washer hose coming up from pump and reservoir and followed it up. T piece was accessible. FYI Jaguar do not sell T piece separately only with whole ...

Coupe boot lid pins

High does anyone know where I can purchase the screw in pin located on the inside of the coupe boot lid. The main body screws into the inside of the boot lid and it has a spring loaded pin in the centre. One of mine has broken and a bit of it is rattling around inside the boot lid.

Re: Motorway Tag

Not sure you can get one that covers France and Italy. I got the French toll tag through Eurotunnel. Worked well when we drove to Tuscany. When In Italy you only pay when you come off motorway network. We drove from Nice to Montepulciano and only one payment which we paid on a card.

Re: Independant garages in South East (Kent,Sussex,Essex)

Hi

I know not an independent. Maidstone Jaguar main dealer look after both my Ftype and I pace and have been excellent. In addition if you Join the Xk8/XKR Ftype owners club you get a reduced labour rate which from memory is £85 per hour and 10% off parts. It only cost £40 per year to join.
