  1. I've done my own service on the Jag, i have the JTIS which is the full mechanics system, and one of the things on it is the service sheet. i printed that off and and filled it in, attatched the receipts and signed the service book, and put the service record in my folder of receipts. i also keep a spreadsheet for all work done on my car, the mileage, cost, reason and result. along with the date. all in order. i've done this on all my cars and with the folder of receipts all in order to acompany it, makes selling the car very easy. buyers see it and read through and the spread sheet works abit like a contents page to the receipts. all the private buyers i've sold to have loved it and in a couple of occasions its secured the higher price as buyer has said they planned to haggle down, but can;t fault it or the evidence that its been well cared for. I'm lucky with the jag as i have the previous owners paperwork as well so documented it for the last 2 owners including myself. anal yes, but useful
  2. Well my exhaust is starting to look like its seen better days, i can see rust peeling up inside the exhaust tips, the system looks like its been used for BB gun target practice and alot of the flanges and pipes are rusted to fuggary. not only that the external walls of the cats are starting to go through. I'm really excited i'm now booked in for a custom built exhaust with longlife i visited the guys last friday, and have been waiting for the quote to come through. IT arrived today all seems good so i've booked in for a full system. sadly i have to wait till tuesday next week now as they are all booked up. They are going to build me 2 200 cell sports cats and a full cat back system as well. we discussed setups etc and they showed me some of their work, i took some pictures of other exhaust systems along and they are going to build it to my specification. This will include an X-pipe 2 small resonators after the X leading to 2 silencers at the back with my choice of tip on it. I'm hoping this will give me the noise and setup i want. I'll try and take before and after pictures when it goes in, but sadly i'm back at work next week so i can;t hang around while they do it. this might be a good thing as its going to be a full days job apparently . I'm using the guys at Demand engineering in stonham aspall in suffolk as its just up the road from me, but they are reallly good. when i went to visit them they were both great guys, really friendly and both huge petrol heads, they knew their cars and they knew their stuff, and i was impressed with the quality of their welding. and i feel happy for them to work on my P&J. I did a lot of research and it was a close call between longlife and powerflow. but the swing factor was that longlife use a better grade of stainless on all of their system, and the quality of the fabricators was better locally at longlife. I looked at ICS warrior but heard horror stories, and A14 performance was to far away and could find very little about them. So fingers crossed this all goes well and i'll keep the thread updated with before and after pictures hopefully.
  3. my jag comes with the special bond package for traffic and chavs
  4. admiral for me and have been for about 4 years now, always come back to them with a better offer and they've met it or beat it.
  5. the trick is not to cut it off at the edges, but to wrap underneath, this stops the edges lifting.
  6. what people say and what they actually do are 2 different things.

  11. i'm on a suburban estate next to the country side. but as a teacher people interaction is a bit of a given. but in my spare time i do enjoy the peace and quiet.
  12. +1 Fuel is better spent on harassing the more exotic cars Lol but do the exotic car owners think of us the same way we think of the hot hatchers? yes
  13. 2 peas from the same pod. i too hate the hot weather, aand crowds
  14. Neil i see you've downsized for the holiday looks awesome place v jealous
  15. i'm currently designing an exhaust system for my V8 while also browsing on here.
  16. i think yhis what the zed does very well, its why its become so popular, for a big engine its a very easy car to drive. with the tcs etc all on, it certainly isnt an animal that will bite your arm off.
  17. looks alright to me so it has a slightly different paint job, its no ibehaus design zed kit is it?
