MOT pass for the Tata.
« on: 21 February 2019, 16:49:42 »
.......and no advisories for the Indian.....which I would expect with only 14000 miles under her wheels. :y

The car now requires (except it doesn't) her next service from Jaguar. This is the major 4 year/64000 mile service. Initial response from the dealers start with a figure well north of £500, but using Jaguar 3+ service menu the same service can be had for £285.

For this I will get the usual oil/filter change plus new air filters (2) new pollen filter and new fuel filter. Probably not a lot different to what it would cost for a a Astramondeofocusgolf. :)

Other than oil and filter what did they replace?

Cabin filter and fuel filter. The reason I used the main dealer is that the EML and traction control lights were coming on periodically, putting the car into limp mode for a while. A local independent read the codes for me and said it needed a new throttle control switch at the pedal, which Vauxhall should do under warranty. They agreed, and the part should be in tomorrow.

£215* well spent  :D

*£34 for an oil and filter change seems perfectly reasonable  :D

I don't let them do that.

A spotty retarded 17 year old with a gritty sponge is never a good idea. :)

One thing Jaguar are quite good at is employing attractive receptionists with nice firm breasts and.......

Probably best I stop there before I........

Coffee is also good. :)

Anyway, back to the point. It looks as though Jaguar service costs are broadly in line with those of Vauxhall. :y

Couldn't you have done it for her with 20% family discount ?  ;D

You could always get a local apprentice grease monkey to do it for you and pay him half your profit. You've been away from Liverpool too long.  ;D

Not mine.  I right old minger. Think your avatar, but in another 30yrs, and an even worse attitude.

The totty only approach when you wander round the new cars, so assume they are sales bimbos.
