Thank you Mike, good to hear from you. I was at Jagfest last Sunday, "Mr Cat" was in the parade, but sadly the weather wasn't great and we left after lunch. Yes, we must hook up soon. I have another car I am showing at events now, a mint BMW Z3 2.8 Straight six Roadster. Stunning. Talk soon

Hi, does anyone have a brand new front o/s wing for my 2003 S-Type "Mr Cat"? Either that or a rust free one? The current wing has been repaired 3 times now but the tin worm keeps coming back, so looking to replace. The car is grey, but happy to get sprayed or resprayed as required. Thank you. Les.

Yes I think the environment it is driven and kept in is important. According to the log book this car has lived in London all its life. The mechanic who checked it over was surprised how rust free this car is.

Hi Mike, yes it has been a while. I haven't been to any shows this year because they have fallen on days when I have been otherwise occupied. Also Jackie spent a few weeks incapacitated after an operation, so I was unable to book the car into any shows as we weren't sure how long she was going to be...

2003 S- Type Jaguar 2.5 V6 Sport – Mr Cat - One Year on - Mileage now 153,000 One year ago the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club magazine ran a three page colour spread on my S-Type, “Mr Cat”. He is a much loved Jaguar which has had no expense spared to maintain it in pristine condition. This cat has had a co...

Can somebody tell me if the rubber seals on the rear brake calipers on my S-Type 2.5v6 can be replaced? My local garage is telling me one is split, but says it cannot be replaced and I have to have a new complete caliper. Is the garage correct or a) is changing the seal too time consuming so not wor...

Job done ... looking and driving good !!

The springs will probably need a little time to settle, Les.
I`ve asked Nigel by email to download your material asap.

Mike

Ok, it will get a good run this weekend.

Thsnk you for contacting Nigel. Much appreciated.

Les.

I added this little touch to the rear

Thank you gentlemen. To clarify, the mechanic said there was no evidence of rust on the sills, just some dirt and mud which he cleaned away. At my request he applied liberal wax oil :-) Yes, he removed the panels in the rear wheel arches and he was surprised how clean and rust free everything was. H...

Today, my much modified and cherished S-Type "Mr Cat" went into the garage to fit the new lowered "Adamesh" coil springs acquired from Mike J44EAG. (Thank you sir). Before they commenced the work, which as I write is near completion, I asked them to take off the sill covers and inspect for rust (a t...

Hi Mike, my local garage will do the job for so I would like to buy those Adamesh springs please. Will try to call you once once I find your number!

Les.

Thank you Mike... will get a price from the garage to do the job and contact you soon.

Les.

Excellent. I will use the standard dampers as I don't want to stiffen the ride. Ok, I have to check what my local garage will charge to fit them, as i explained Sunday I am hopless at doing anything requiring manual effort! How many hours Labour do you think it would take to swap them? Will contact ...

That's a shame Goss. I suppose all cars will become collectable eventually when only the best examples remain or are restored. After all, the mk1 Ford Anglia and Escort were once commonplace and most ended up in banger races before being scrapped. Nowadays they are hard to find and fetch big money. ...
