Not wishing to be contrarian, but I've had my XE for six weeks now and while dirt / water does get into the areas mentioned it isn't what you'd call catastrophic (and I'm fussy). I'm assuming Jaguar designed if like this (as opposed to a post production "d'ohhhh" moment). I mean, it is fundamental ...

Well Mini the ultimate customized brand has now called time on the hundreds of derivatives it offered past tense. With WLTP it is rationing it's customer choice. "Mini has ditched its trademark offering of multiple bespoke trim options to ‘reduce complexity’ in its range line-up by offering a simpli...

I took the Alloy wheel protection offered, £300 for 3 years cover and 18 repairs allowed.

Many of these Ex Jag cars, are Jaguar staff cars,who have specified the car to high standard. As they only dr...

BevC, don't tempt fate, don't want snow. :( :( BevC if your awd has standard summer tyres on, it's only advantage over rwd is it will get you moving, however the tyres have no affect in controlling the car's direction especia...

Brand new 100k + Range Rover Hybrid broke down on pickup by the customer on its way to the customers home, a recovery truck took the car back to the dealers.

The ones near us are Esso, Texaco and Shell. I’m not sure where the nearest BP is any more. It may well be that eventu...

My overall figures are:- Litres Cost ...
