Jaguar finally agreed to replace the subframe on my car, but because it was just over 5 years old and out of warranty they said I would have to stand 50% of the cost, I agreed I would pay but on "parts only". They accepted and the full subframe and braces were replaced by my local Jaguar Dealer. I went to Switzerland with a nice new subframe and braces fitted at the end of May.
Job done.
Anyone else with the same problem keep pushing.
Fabulous car for touring the Swiss Alps.

Glad you got the car sorted, even if you had to pay towards it
Any idea on total bill for a job like this?
The SSM says:
"New spec parts include a Zinc-Nickel plated layer between paint protection and the metal substrate which provides a greater level of corrosion protection for exposed Under Body steel components, including protection against stone chipping and other environmental impacts due to Zinc-Nickel hardness properties."

Looks like they maybe have to take the exhaust back box off to fit the main A frame then.
