X300 electrical

Help is required to locate a garage with experience of x300 electrics in Scotland.
If no suitable specialist is known for Scotland I'm happy to travel as far as necessary.
Many thanks.

Any good auto electrician should be able to help, the x300, whilst advanced at the time, has fairly straightforward electrics compared to more modern cars, depends what the issue involves....

Hi Andy, thanks for your help, it's with a garage at the moment but it has been with him for a week and has not been even looked at!
I've been to several garages locally and no one will look at it hence I would prefer a specialist that I can rely on.
Regards Alan

Alan,

You haven't added your location in Scotland on to your profile as yet. This may help in getting a more local response.

Maybe drop a message to Rob Jenner (robv12 userid) who will undoubtedly know of options in the South of Scotland if not further afield.

Good luck

Thanks Paul, I'm just north of Aberdeen but I will take your advice and drop Rob a message as soon as I get a chance.

Alan,

If you're in Aberdeenshire, maybe contact Jim Mann the XK8 Model & Forum co-ordinator, who is based there.

Cheers

Hi, yes I'm in the Grampian region jec and know Jim, but they are more into modern jags, I'm more interested in someone more specific to the older x300 as they seem to use
a different obd system to the modern jag.

OK Alan,

Remember that x300s are OBDII compliant as per more modern cars.

Good luck

Yes thank you, I'm going to give this chap another couple of days but if he has still not done anything I'll take it away and in the meantime I will write to Rob and hopefully have some options.
Many thanks Alan
