Crikey only just stumbled upon this thread.
Hmmmm!! Jaguars, i love em, well should that be, did love em.
Had an XJ8 that started to have slight starting issues, would always start, but took about 5 sec's of starting to actually burst into life, i won't bore you with the details but in and out of the Jag dealership to sort, Hmmm after checking and replacing near enough half the car including fitting a brand new engine, all at their expense, it was still the same!!, so i sold it and bought an Impreza P1, now that car i really did enjoy owning and i suppose wish i hadn't sold it, for you guessed it, another Jag!!.
This time i bought one of the latest X350 Jag XJ6's, awesome car, until the day i spotted what looked like bubbling paint around the rear window and the bottom of the doors and anywhere else you care to mention, again all sorted at Jaguars cost, great, car back to normal, but oh nooooo, paint bubbling again after 6 months, apparently it was to do with the aluminium chassis technology!!!
So yet again, sold it with large depreciation and bought a Z, which i still own and have no problems with.
Although i'm sorely tempted with a Frozen White Focus RS, hmmmm, we'll see.
Love the Z.
Cheers Dave.
