The other thing with poly bushing it, front end kit is around £170

Priced up complete front and rear poly set for the black cat. £680. OUCH!!

No warranty Jaime?  Just had my fronts replaced on my cat due to slight splitting FOC 

Its a silly warranty, won't cover wear and tear, and bushes are a service item really.

Personally, I refused to pay for the warranty, so I didn't pay for it. But they included it anyway.


Also, I don't want any mongrels touching the thing, only people I trust.  So dealer/specialist will only change oil annually for the stamp...  ...*IF* I decide to keep up "official" history, which I might not, as its a keeper. Next owner might well be scrapyard

I'm surprised you did not use the forum resident car dealer?

Why? He didn't have what I wanted.

I've been looking out for what I wanted since last summer, so imagine my frustration when I saw it, only to find it was sold by the private owner. Fortunately, it came up for sale again a few days later by a pikey trader.

Thought he would have sourced the auctions, that said when I was looking, the auction prices were higher than the dealer I was at.

Who said he or I didn't

Odd the auctions not proving fruitful these days, had a few calls with Josh and went over spec-age miles etc. The one that I ended up buying was considerably cheaper than ones that week which had gone through auction. Which had more miles, older and less spec

I was looking for the impossible. Had to be Portfolio for the seats and the dual view screen. I wanted black with dark interior (rare as rocking horse...), with the rarely ticked rear blind option.

The auction prices weren't cheaper enough to warrant the risk either.

Agreed, but as mine's low milage I argued with the dealer that it was premature failure, and Jag warranty authorised the repair and paid up.  The warranty is like all extended warranties, but if you are prepared to argue with Jaguar warranty, they will quite often back down.
