• Jaguar XF - Used car, radio malfunction. What are my "rights"? 14 Dec 2016 (Forum)
  I can't remember the exact part he said it needed, but it's some sort of main part which costs over £500 before labour. He reiterated his previous statement that "it's not something we'd normally cover".   So I asked him if he could get a better price from them to fix it than what I'd be able to get if I went to them directly myself. He said he would. I then said to him that in all honesty I wouldn't have bought the car if I'd known about this fault - I'd either have walked away, or asked for it to be rectified.

• Jaguar XK - Jaguar 30 Day exchange policy 22 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  The Jaguar web site starts by saying  "In the unlikely event that your vehicle has a demonstrable fault that cannot be resolved to your satisfaction and the car has covered no more than 1,000 miles from the date of purchase, your car will be replaced free of charge with a car of a similar specification or a refund will be offered. " This is no more than your statutory rights in my view and not an exchange plan - what follows however is...

• Finally got a long drive in the Superb iV 27 May 2021 (Forum)
  Both cars had covered just over 2000 miles on departure so both still not bedded in really. The 1.4 TSi managed 47 mpg for the week which I was very happy with. To get over 55 mpg from a heavier car with an auto box with zero opportunity to charge is way better than I expected.
