Couple of small jobs recently, first I changed the battery as I was finding some strange electrical type issues such as jerky downshifts when driving hard, strange touchscreen/nav system behaviour and incorrect seat/mirror/steering position memory recall. These cars are sensitive to tired batteries so that's the usual starting point. Used a Varta AGM type which apparently are better at holding charge. Yes, the battery is in the boot as standard too:
Can't remember if I posted this already but changed the front wing vent trims as one of the originals had a broken clip and both were a bit chipped and tatty looking:
Gave it a good wash recently. Pre-wash with Auto Finesse Avalanche snow foam, wash with Meguiars Hyperwash, chemical paint decontamination using Auto Finesse Iron Remover (cos I'm too lazy to clay it) then a good rinse with filtered water, towel dry and a coat of Auto Finesse Tough Coat. Pics don't do it justice really, the shine and flake pop is lush!
Unfortunately the car failed its MOT last week due to a rear caliper having a seized piston. It's booked in to my local Jaguar dealer tomorrow to get this fixed under extended warranty so should be back on the road soon. Not that I'll get much time to drive it because two weeks ago today this turned up:
Our first child, a wee boy we've named Liam. Chuffed doesn't begin to describe it!
