Same boat as me, I will go down the road of a S212 but will edge for a 250 this time but I want a facelift so that's at least another 3-5 years away.... Hopefully by then, the 280 will be fine) yours is a cracking example of the e estate and they are great all round cars bar the little issues...

I think it will, I found it a little bouncy at first but after a couple of weeks the ride was firm and the handling so much better. You could always look at it is the sheds renaissance

Sl5?

Sounds good, don't the springs take some time to bed in? I found that when I had h&r's fitted to my c320.

Yes officer :)

Awesome looking RR.

Have to.... The work I now do falls within local licensing laws and the car is subject to an enhanced mot. Hence the power trip he has.

Long standing reputation for poor attitude with customers, rumours are rife he likes to be pleased with presents as well as enjoying what supposed power he has. He has also allegedly been known to make comments about failing cars when in a bad mood.

No, 100%. It's in on Friday so we will see, vosa will be getting a call if not.

Same here, not sure but in the past a split was a fail and a crack was a pass? He's claiming the split is at the back..... I will be taking it back to him as the part is under warranty. It's not a dodgy garage, very by the book etc and they test the local buses etc. The guy is a first class...

MOT tester failed my S211 today due to as he put the lower rubber being split. On examination, the rubber is not split but cracked and nothing that would cause grease to leak etc. Where do I stand with this? Can I contest? The joint was only changed in october last year.

Iirc, the 211 had a DPf as an option and very few were ticked...

Hmmm, I do also note that my gear changes can affect my mpg quite considerably which is why i always do the throttle reset thing which might be a placebo but I always feel a difference after its been done.

1 ESV and 11 ESV on 2 brand new jaguar herses.

Colder and it was raining! I did think that but when we had our summer in early march... Mpg remained the same as before. It's back to normal now... Must be that time of the month)
