You dreamed of a big star
he played a mean guitar
He loved to drive his Jaguar...

So welcome to the machine

 

March 16th 2015, the day we bought the car, dealer only a single key for
the car. Told him I wanted 2 working key fob sets. He sends us up the
highway to MN only Jag dealer. They take forever and keep coming back
saying it will cost this much more 5 times. Finally they finish and I get the
bill. Ouch, $658 for 2 working key fob sets.

2 weeks later begin to notice the Headlight issue and attempt the screw
repair. Beyond help. The inside were toast. Only mu screw was holding
anything. Start searching online. Find some at Merriam Jaguar that are
not auto-leveling and Halogen for $785 and free shipping. Then the big
job, pulling that front bumper off.

Then I notice when I was going to change oil, no belly pan. There goes
another. Belly pan was only $144. Shipping was $117.

 

For anyone looking for lights.

Remember Brutal does rebuild/repair them and usually had a couple ready to go. He can fix all the broken parts inside the lights not just the parts that the screw fix takes care of.

Pretty good prices too.

Where's the link for Brutals repair? My old STR had the headlights replaced under certified warranty but a quick fix should save members $

 

Look in this thread and see Brutal's post.

Trying to find out why my throttle position sensor continues to fail me has cost my over 700.00 in tows alone I have been stranded 4 times so far and still trying to figure out Issue?

 

Why do you think that i.e. what evidence (in detail)?

Hint: probably the evidence points elsewhere...

 

Brakes and rotors- 450.00

 

have had the 3 months now 2 weeks after buying it I noticed a massive wet patch on my garage floor rushed it down to a jag indi had a health check gear box diagnostic new sump gasget and oil replaced a track rod 4 wheel alignment and service a whopping £1300 hope it is the highest bill I will have to pay

 

So far the biggest repair bill on mine is for some cosmetic fixes, rust under the tail lights, a spot on the right rear wheel arch, rocker panels and a tiny spot of rust on the front quarter panel, coming in at $2,035.00
