Re: Potential V6S with lots of swirls - Walk away?

I agree with all sentiments, just poor washing technique or someone who doesn’t realise how bad auto car washes can be. As long as it has its service history I think it could well prove a brilliant buy after you get it detailed. Yep full Jag history! they are just sorting out some SOS dashboard mes...

Re: Potential Main Dealer Scam

I would not knock chichester, they are extremely knowledgeable. Language is the key to ensuring you get the best service.

Re: BRAKE FLUID CHANGE

Boiling point reduces drastically with moisture absorption. Hence get a cheap tester and change when necessary, with a little care for the planet πŸ‘πŸ» I will check mine before booking her in for this years service.

Yeah, if we worried about fuel consumption we wouldn't be driving an F-Type! :lol:
Nor my main car which struggles to get 21mpg 😳😳.
Maybe I need an EV to balance it outπŸ€”πŸ€” Nah!

Re: Trip MPG accuracy

Over 4 years mine has averaged 30.3 mpg. I have a spread sheet which calculates tank mpg and since ownership. I always fill in just for OCD interestπŸ˜….
