[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

This fella has been there for 36 years, comes well recommended. Oil is clean as a whistle. Good enough for me

No way I can tell if my oil was changed. No dipstick. Isn't progress wonderful.

If you use a Jag dealer, that would be a concern

My experience of Jaguar dealers has not been positive.

I suppose I should have warned him, some 40 years ago I got them to MOT a Citroen GS, which had the wonderful( ) inboard front brakes. It failed the MOT on these being worn out. They didn't even have the grace to be embarrassed when I pointed out the empty pad boxes in the boot from where I changed them the previous day.

Just like the Alfasud.

I found the pads easy to change simply by undoing an allen screw so the pads could be removed.

They weren't difficult to change, just difficult for lazy gits to check properly.

GS had little button pads for the handbrake too

I am gobsmacked by what seem to be stellar mileages between services on the 2/3/4 year old cars we have been looking at(still).

What is the interval on your car STEMO- a diesel from memory?

Run the engine, place kitchen around oil filler cap, remove cap. See what splashes out.

He is too old to have significant memory.

12 months or 20,000 miles from memory. But it has a %countdown on the computer, so if it needed a service, it would tell me.

My kitchen is quite large, i'm not sure I could get it to fit.

I can't remember that, but I did enjoy the adjustable ride height when I was transporting kids to guides and scout camps over rough terrain.
