Wish me luck..Jag gone for pamper day ( service & MOT) :y
Had an EML on for 4 months - diagnosed then as lambda sensor, outwith that im hoping for a hassle free test ( done 3000miles since last mot)
...And i have a courtey car till tomorrow - free of charge.
Brand new Jag Diesel 2.2 Sport its phenomenally quick especially in third gear :-/ :o
6 speed manual box with leather, cruise and 18" wheels - its only done a thousand or so miles.
Just over 1000rpm at 60mph in 6th gear.
Yep if this is the diesel standard now.....I`d considor buying one :y

Had my MOT on Tuesday, passed with no advisories.
Wish you luck.

MOT at 2.30pm its going to be a loooong day i`m clock watching already :(
Mind you came into town in the Diesel ( gave it a real workout) and its on 44.4mpg ::)

Try the new XF 3lt diesel thats coming out in march. 0-60 in under 6 seconds apparently! And something like 500N torque :o
The 2.7 I have does it in around 8 secs traction permitting ;D

I've always said I'd never buy a diesel Jag, but after having seen Clarkson drive 600 miles or whatever it was, in the XJ-D on one tank, I must say I was swayed slightly!
-
All the best for the MOT, I hate the wait for the results
-
When we fret over the MOT outcome, is it our cars we worry about, or our wallets? ::)

I`m seriously tempted with the XF, I also probably left paw marks on the pre registered xj supercharged sitting in the showroom :-*
Jeez if it was legal i`d marry that car ::)
-
And the results are in........
Failed but passed. Needs one tyre ( its got a gouge on the sidewall due to the nice building company building new houses at the end of the road) I knew about it but kept ssssshhhh.
To make that more annoying i have 3 of 4 18" jag alloys in the Garage, need a 4th and then i`ll be buying NEW TYRES grrrrrr >:(
No advisories, EML off by diagnostics machine and its stayed off....( no charge)
All in all pretty happy :)
-
Not a bad result then. :y

I would too and mentioned that fact in front of the not-too-bothered-about-cars wife in the Jag showroom "Well that makes 2 of us" she said! pmsl ;D ;D ;D

Diesels have come on a long way in recent years, at work I have used a Discovery 3 2.7 V6 Auto TDSE for the last 3 days, mixed running, 600 miles in total, trip computer read 30.5 mpg. Knock 10% off that for inaccuracy and 27 mpg out of one of those is quite impressive. Most economical family sized car i have used recently, 2.0 TDI Passat, a very impressive 52 mpg, again mixed running with a 150 mile trip to Blackpool thrown in.
