[Sir Tigger KC]

......and another thing.
The trip over there highlighted just how utterly piss poor Jaguar Sat Nav is.

The system in the mighty Signum is far superior.

This is true! 

A couple of years ago I was driving my mates XK-R in Houston and got lost despite using the satnav.  I ended up in a pretty low rent area, where a white boy in a flash foreign sports car attracted attention from the locals!    

My sphincter was twitching a little as I high tailed it out of there!

There's a corner of St John's in Antigua that has the same effect on list tourists...

In 1964, when I was 11, we moved from a terraced two up-two down, with no bathroom, into a three bed terraced with a bathroom. Dad paid £1995 for the three bed and got £450 for the two bed.

Even in 1964 that was not a lot of money for a house. I'm guessing the house was not in Surrey.

There was no copper or brass left in the building

You were probably minutes away from being gang-banged by a group of angry black boys wearing a bandana.

The Jag and it's driver never to be seen again.

Lucky escape, Sir Tig.

I've bought houses for less than that, admittedly in 1984   

I know what you mean, Robert.

My first house cost £41050 in 1990


Father in law paid £5000 for a four bed detached in 1971.


My parents paid £1600 for a thee bed semi in the fifties.

Why do you think I moved from Bucks to Lincs 

[BazaJT]

In 1955 we moved into a 5 bedroom detached in a third of an acre of grounds,I don't know what dad paid for it but when he sold it to downsize in 1973 he got £22,000 for it!

Owner 1 does something to invalidate the warranty, remap or whatever and gets rumbled. Owner 2 Has it corrected by jag and then buys an updated warranty?  only reason that springs to mind.

The point about brakes is interesting, wonder if yours are just newer. In any case, I hope you find the right one

My theory ( because the dealer has no idea himself)

First owner sells car in August 2016 with 20 months manufacturers warranty remaining.

New owner insists on a full 2 year warranty so dealers adds this as part of the sale. Two warranties running side by side.

More than likely 

When I bought my 2.2 its was 2.5years old..and had 6 months remaining vx warranty. Dealer slapped on a 1 year NetworkQ warranty....so for 6 months I had 2 warranties on the 2.2

Nice looking car, but have you not considered an Aston Martin ?

[Viral_Jim]

V12 DB9

Very Opti

V12 DB9

Very Opti

Sadly just about any Aston is out of my league.

The DB9 V12 is a beautiful creation.....(apart from the Ford bits) .

In budget?

[Viral_Jim]

Main downside with these iirc is athat you have to drop the engine to change the spark plugs  Well the rear two at least. Used I'd have the v8 vantage I think.

 I've no problem with the ford bits - they're the most likely to work

I'm surprised you have so many issues with satnav.  Unless you are expecting them to give you a hand job on the way.

Suspect the system in mine is slightly older than yours (Its something like gen2.1 hdd or similar).  It does what it claims - it gets you to the specified destination.

My gripes with the Jag one, is you *HAVE* to use the touchscreen to enter stuff in, whereas the NCDC for example, could be completely controlled from the steering wheel.  Fortunately mine has Jaguar Voice, and surprisingly works well, apart from postcodes, due to an extra step/guess needed.

But I never use postcodes anyway, due to their all round shiteness.


None of the roads on the route I expect you took have changed around these parts, unless you went along A43, then the jnc with M40 has been remodelled to arguably make it flow better (it doesn't), so its not like it would have you driving in a field etc.
