    Thanks, have an appointment booked with dr.

    decided as they’ve given me a ridiculous big bmw as hire car to buy another car out of the rainy day fund. Decided to buy a jaguar x type saloon 2.2 £1200 with a fresh service and 3 months left on the mot. Cat N, but very tidy and drove lovely. Sold by an enthusiast who works in his family run garage. Can’t wait for my big cat.. know it could cost a lot,if so I’ll bin it and get a Fiat panda or something, until then, mmm jag.

    Cricketing mate of mine many yrs ago bought an old Mk 9 Jaaag.

    He couldn't really afford it and I asked him how he felt about 15 mpg.

    Wonderful was the reply. Leather and wood everything, silent, gorgeous.
    I only have one vice…I lie.

    This should get me 45mpg for the daily commute. I could have got another ford focus or megane, but, I didn't want to after seeing the Jag. It's not a Mark 9 or E-Type, but it doesn't look bad and it was very nice to drive. Leather is nice. Being able to have a conversation with the passengers at 70mph is nice. Refinement is very good. Turbo Diesel is smooth and actually sounds ok. Can't wait to collect it tomorrow

    Cheers, I love it, it’s causing me worries already a week in with engine light and turbo cutting out, but it’s such a nice place to be, I want it sorted.

    I think you need to get that loose nut behind the wheel sorted

    Loose nut... The cheek! I took the car back to the guy I bought it from and he replaced the turbo actuator controller without charge. It’s run without issue since. Quite pleased. It has a few little foibles, though it is 12 years old and forgivable. Certainly recommend one, so far, can’t believe it cost less than the bike. Lots of car for the money
