After some cock womble drove into my Jag, it had to go to the body shop. That was 4 weeks ago.

Reason given is parts shortage on front right hand wing panel.

Really missing it now.

Ouch. And I start missing mine after just a few days of vacation.

I was once without my previous beloved XF for 10(!) weeks after it went in with an engine knocking and ended up needing a new engine (same V6 as in the F-Type mind you). Now that was a wait. Think I drove something like 8 different replacement cars during that wait and the most extreme ones (bottom and top end :)) were a Corsa and a Maserati Quattroporte. :D

Mine is hopefully due back tomorrow, after my lovely neighbour drove into me whilst on the phone.

it has been gone for 9 weeks.

I was talking to the bodyshop, he has rows of cars waiting for parts, some of the lead-times he has been quoted are up to easter next year.

Assuming the final part, a radiator, has actually arrived I feel quite fortunate!

Hope you enjoyed it Dan. Still no sign of a front wing for mine. Had to cancel its service which was booked for today.

Sure did, still enjoyed driving it when I sold it. Its just to rare an occasion that I could drive it.
Hopefully it gets a good new home. Didn't sell yet. About the same time mine was marketed,
3 other Ultra Blue (import) appeared on the listings. All less equipped and less beautiful,
to my opinion. Luckily two are black pack. So the first impulse of the young salesman to
replace the chrome was suppressed.. 8-)

Just had call that the new front wing has arrived, and car will be back home next week.

7 weeks is a long time without your favourite car!

That’s tough… I thought the loss of my Evoque last 2 weeks for 10 days as JLR didn’t have a sensor adapter plug was bad enough.
Hope it gets fixed to the planned date
