Re: sad days are coming
I assume we will still be able to arrange to import Japanese cars when the UK supply dries up?

Re: JayEmm testing the P300
I've had V8s for decades, I find the power of them normal now. But I've resisted the temptation to tune my R.

Re: JayEmm testing the P300
I had to run in a gearbox reset in my R, so was pottering about for a while. The V8 can be viscious of course, but there's also something satisfying about pulling away just above tickover and cruising at very low revs. Still quicker than 'normal' drivers.

Re: Registering service history with JLR
The Jaguar specialist indie I use gets my service record updated. I'm surprised yours doesn't. Is it an affiliation they need to have or something? Or is he doing me a favour?

Re: Portable Battery Conditioner
Years ago I had a solar panel charger I propped up inside the windscreen. On that car I just plugged it into the fag lighter. It worked well to (barely) maintain the voltage over weeks at a time. A normal battery should easily last a week without charging but of course you need to do enough miles or...

Re: New to the group
My insurance is lowered by adding my other half to the cover. Worth a try adding a 2nd driver.

Re: Car check please
H239 v1 has been applied to mine since owning it, presumably during a service / repair. V2 and v3 haven't.

Re: Portofino Blue P575
Same here, I've rubber mats for the winter, nice carpet mats for the summer. Each year I forget to put the carpet mats in, so for a few years it's been rubber mats all the time. This year could be different- if I remember.

Re: PPF pre cut kits?
I've seen ads for partial front end PPF for 395 plus VAT. Sills should be less? I wouldn't try doing a front myself but the sills alone I would at those prices. Prep is very important of course, but my PPF sills are usually covered in road dirt as soon as I venture out.
