When I had my heart valves replaced, my heart wasn’t functioning on its own so they fitted an external pacemaker. The wires went in at stomach level and up to my heart. When they were sure that I was breathing unaided, they went to pull the wires out, but after almost three months the wires had become fused into my body and wouldn’t come out, so they cut them off flush with my skin and left them in. I was convinced that I may get some grief when going/returning from holiday but it hasn’t happened yet.     Not related to the wires but I always seem to get pulled to one side for them to run the wand over me. I have no objection to that if stricter checks catch the bad guys. 

You should have asked them to leave a couple of terminals so you could easily get a jump start if needs be! 

 

Well technically the wires are still there connected to my heart, with the other ends of the wire at stomach level just below the surface of my skin so that’s still an option. 

That makes defrib machines easier to do, surely

Maybe one of those little glovebox jumpstarters that Lidl have in the middle would do the trick?

I don't think the RR mob are as bad as the Jaguar forums over polishing, and advising to take it to a dealer to top up the washer fluid....

We still get two breakdown calls a week with owners who have run out of washer fluid

Though I mostly used 3rd party diag tools for speed, if its something they can perform, as SDD does take an age to set up and get to the point when you can actually do something.

In fairness, it is faster on the XE than XJ, due to less options it has to check and communicate with
