Wow, no one works for Jaguar or works at a independent Jaguar shop? Jaglovers.org (Jaguarforums is much better tho) has a member who was an engineer for the X300 XJR project. He has very interesting insight.
Anyone know of an engineer who was involved with the XJ8 development?

Love my 2000XJ8. Had it for seven years. Never drive it in bad weather. As a sem-retired person I get to choose what jobs I want to do.
Thanks for the survey,

I design and market machines that are used to measure silicon wafers as they are manufactured. So thank me everytime you use something electronic !
(Obviously if you have something electronic that isn't working it's not my fault, I wasn't there, I never saw anything!)

Actually it's all smoke and mirrors :-)
Being from Scotland and having previously worked in a wafer fab there, we used to have a traditional "get out of jail" statement which was "We're makin things yae canne see! Yer gonnae get a few that dinnae work!"
