Fitted Michelin Cross Climates - superb - very quiet and very comfor...

Sir, I would strongly recommend having your wheel alignments checked by someone in the "alignmycar" group. They are on the web. They have fancy laser type equipment which I believe is very good. I had my XJ6 done 3 years ago and all wheels were out of spec, including the back wheels. I had a one yea...

Thanks Mike, for the wheel nut torque ; I didn't know that.
I'll nip mine up a bit.
Best,

Venge, The hub that carries the sheared off stud will, in my opinion, need replacing. The reason is that I think the stud head will be splined and as has already been said, new splined studs will be hard to find. Take a couple of photos and email Eurojag in Darlington; they'll have a spare hub or th...

My Manager fancies an X-type! (I have an XJ6 V6 2003 90k miles which is a cracker). What model/engine size would the team recommend for my good lady? It has to be automatic, and an estate may be a bit "big" for her. What about 4 wheel drive models - reliability mainly - there seem to be several abou...

Phil/Venge, I have exactly the same sized wheels and tyres - 235/55-17 on an 03 XJ6 V6 at 85k miles. Paul/PJTS has given you the pressures I have been using for about 10k miles now for up to 100 mph. This size of wheel and section of tyre gives a very comfortable ride; you're not looking for holes i...

Hi Steve , I already have a copy thanks, hence my offer to email to any soggy 350 owners.

Barry,
I'd be obliged if you could send me a copy. I haven't got a problem but it'd be good to have the info. Best regards, and thanks for your efforts again!

Martin, You must consider what sort of ride you want in this new car. If you want a sporty ride then big diameter wheels - 19" or even 20" , you'll feel every crack in the road and every bit of grit, and you'll be dodging potholes, and believe me it can all get tedious! On the other hand, for a magi...

Folks, I've been searching for a nice XJ6 V6 approx 2007, pre face lift, with about 25/30K miles on, in Jaguar Racing Green for over 6 months with no success. I've tried Auto Trader and Jaguar Approved almost daily. Questions :- Was racing green an unpopular colour? Were not many cars produced in th...

Autobox oil filter. To make it clear to those who don't know, and yesterday I didn't, the oil filter is incorporated into the sump cover and you cannot get to clean/change that filter. The only way to get a new filter is to buy a new sump cover and I understand they are about £250. On the sump cover...

Information. XJ6V6 2003 77K miles - new to me last week - nice car - 17" wheels! Two new 235/55 - 17's, Nexen fitted £200 for the pair. I'm putting them on the front; I don't drive "sportily" and thus figure that I need stopping grip (at the front) rather than anti-slide grip (at the back). Align-My...
