Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
A feature I would REALLY like on the Jag - both of 'em - is a clock that can adjust itself. Every other bloody car has been able to since the 1980s. No idea what JLR were smoking when they suffered CBA to implement something so simple.
Found interesting tool.
Drove it to Pickering for a short break. These diesel’s are in their element just cruising along motorways. A journey of 230 miles and it cost me peanuts in fuel.As soon as mine gets beyond around 70mph, it has a drink problem worthy of any AA attendee, and virtually always returns 32mpg (reality, not the trip computer) over an entire tank. Last tank was 35.9mpg - she'd used it for work and to nip to Oxford, and clearly she is more reformed than me...
I've had 67mpg from her little diesel going to work over a 70 mile run to central Brumingham, but I was keeping it under the instant ban territory...
I set the car alert to 70mph.It gets angry and keeps flashing a dash warning and makes a bong noise if I go over the set limit. I told you, I'm fully converted now.
(NB. For use on my private test track officer

No changeable bulbs in a CID, backlights built into the LCD panel....and make sure you get the right wattage bulbs as it's all too easy to buy the wrong ones. Correct wattage is 3W I think. Anything brighter and the brightness is totally different to the rest of the dash illumination including the CID.Actually, that's another two/four bulbs worth changing whilst you're in there
Also, you'll need to unplug the MiD/CID as you remove the cluster. Pull the cluster straight out, then roll the top towards you and you should be able to release the plug.
Noticed in my web new feed there's an everywhere increasing amount of clickbaity headlines about 'tenfold' cat tax increases for drivers of petrol and diesel cars...Sod that, my cat can buy his own food if that's the case.
The reality?
If you drive a car over 76g/km and are currently paying £10 A YEAR, there's a good chance it will rise to £110.
Sure, in percentage terms that's a hefty increase, but the reality is that it's the price of two coffees a month. If you can't afford two coffees a month, the reality is that you already don't own a car.
The other increase is for more expensive EVs so I really wouldn't worry too much about it.
