    Can anyone recommend a West Yorkshire or East Lancs/Manchester independent?

    Hi all, Happy New Year! My nearly 6-year-old V6 340 will need an MOT and service next month just before the 12-month Approved Warranty expires. Can anyone recommend an independent specialist around Manchester or Huddersfield? I live half way between the two and would be happy to drive an hour...

    Windscreen washer fault FIXED

    Finally got to the bottom of my washer issue after not very satisfactory attention from Jaguar over a few weeks, plus four days off the road and two trips to the dealer.

    Well... I've done it

    Hi all! After years of "looking" and one failed attempt in 2021 (I was persuaded to buy an F-Type priced kitchen instead! Nice kitchen though) I've finally found and bought (but not yet collected) a blue V6 convertible with ivory interior. Everything I was looking for. I can't wait to collect...

    Ready to take the plunge

    Hello everyone. I have drooled over the F-Type for as long as it has been around and promised myself I'd own one once my current car was paid for. The time has come and I wondered what opinions people here have on a few things that are on my mind as I search for the perfect car.... What are...
