Possible?? But I used it a lot before the issues started think the water pump is more likely, drove it home from my dads house tonight just two miles away, it was red hot and sounds like a spitfire on fly past!,, now on the bay spares or repair,

There's a V6 S type on Oval Chat at £250 with a fair test left, can you buy it please to stop me thinking it would make a good engine donor....

What's peed me off is I put £30 worth of juice in it a few hours before it expired ! The silver lining here is that a couple of hours should mean that there was only 15 quids worth left in it at the time of its demise......

Had a look at a few big d barges over the last week to replace the jag.. A bmw e38 728i a few e class w210s , another very nice xj8 but just a nigglng thought it'll be the same as mine ie blowing up!! Going to look at a couple more w210 mercs this week, I really liked my E280 so think if I can find a nice one that'll be the replacement... That 728i bmw was nice but something told me not to buy it....

If you're going to drive a Jag I'd recommend the X300, The AJ16 is bombproof and still gets decent fuel economy, and the auto transmissions are also solid.

Sounds like a bit of a result! I like my daily c220 CDI, is pretty quick and still does 60mpg!
What's the spec like?

I've done 44k miles in my w204 in 15 months! It's had discs an pads all round before it's had front tyres, the originals have done 51k miles and still have lots of tread left, they must be made of stone! They are good to drive and I ten to have the gearbox in sport, an left foot brake so it's a bit like a big go kart. Would recommend one to anyone. Really like the coupes
