Nuhhh uhhh! You were locking them down when you first got mod that it wasn't funny! You've calmed down since thoug don't get me wrong! I remember when I got mad once back a long time ago! It was pretty funny now that I think about it!
I'd love to lock every post just to get a laugh!
Lock the whole forum and the only message other members see is "Quil bigs and jim are busy talking to each other and nobody else is allowed in the forum right now!" I could see it now!

Hey guys--still on the hunt and I was wondering is there is some quick way of checking status of a warranty based in VIN number. I have seen some 2003 XK models where there is still a remainder of "select" warranty so is there a quick way of discreetly finding out if a particular car I look at has any warranty remaining?
Thanks,
Doug

Yes,
Last year I called Jaguar directly to check on vin numbers. You can also just email them with the vin and they actually contacted me quite swiftly!

Thanks. I have become friendly with the service manager at a local Jag dealer and he has been kind enough to check out some cars for me based on VIN number. Perhaps he can also check warranty status. By the way, I finally test drove a 2003 XKR and have a question or two that I will post in the XK8/XKR section.

Another extended warranty question. The dealer was offering an aftermarket warranty backed by Mercury Insurance but the price seemed steep ($3,800). I can get an extended warranty from my wife's credit union--it is a policy by Members Choice and even the Platinum version of this warranty is much much less than $3,800. I have had a Members Choice warranty in the past on other cars and it seemed to work out okay--the only annoyance is having to wait for the adjuster to approve the repair. Do any of you guys have advice on warranties and what a "fair" price might be?
Thanks,
Doug

That does seems a little steep. It's a tough call on these warranty deals. Some are easy to work with and others it's like pulling teeth. Even within the same company! It is good to have the protection.

Yeah its nice to have those warranties but many times the warranty companies not only make things hard for you but they make them impossible for the mechanic as well...so instead of him being mad at your car after bleeding he also now has to deal with the stupid adjuster in seeing if it can be fixed and than them telling the mechanic he isn't worth what he charges! My father in laws warranty (continental) told his mechanic how much he could charge them for labor...he told them 30 an hour...not sure how that equates but after that person pays their mechanic a price wonder how the shop makes money? Anyways 3800 sounds about what everyone wanted to charge me...my credit union said the same price as the gmc dealer I bought my car from...

Hi. I'm in the process of geting a 1990 sjx sports model but can find any thing about this model. I'm in ny and jaguar is coming from az. Any help on winterizing it?

Welcome aztex...just curious did you mean to post this in a different area? If not what I'd try doing is either posting in the off-topic section or in either this x-type section and make your own new post about winterizing if I were you. Good luck with the acquisition of your new car!
Not sure what to do as far as winterizing as I've never been able to do that to a car!
