Default Time to bring the cat to the shop

I received a $10 gift certificate from Jaguar might as well take it to the shop and get some items worked on.
1 get the dreaded duck bill fixed
2 get blower motor working again, due to item 1
3 Engine check light is on

Think it will cost me more than $10?

I'd take your wallet along. You know...just in case.

I still have difficulty understanding how Jaguar gets away with charging owners with the duck bill fix when. clearly, it is a design flaw.

$10 should get you a visual inspection of your tire valve caps. Just for fun remove one and see if they catch it , LOL

The duckbill is the description given to the end of the air-con drain (item 10). The end looks looks a bit like a ducks beak and opens when there is sufficient water collected to force it open.

In supposedly stops insects crawling in.

Cutting the end off allows water to drain more easily but it is a pain to get to.

Well that $10 is going to come in handy since my bill is $1800.

My lucky day, car repairs are complete 3rd party warranty paid for half the cost and Jaguar picked up the remaining balance.

Thank you Jaguar, now thats what I call customer service.

I would get a nice jag hat. $10 off would get the price almost down to what it is worth!
