  Hi there, I had a quick search on this board and saw the last post on this topic was in 2001 so I thought I?d ask if anything has changed since then; what are people?s opinions on buying 6 month to year old ex-rental cars? The only reason I ask is because a friend and I are looking into trading

  Dear All, I am going on a short trip on a P&O liner from S/hampton in September and thought, despite some advice to the contrary, to leave the car at the docks, F.O.C. I presume that one leaves the keys. Do cars get moved around by the staff? That in itself does not unduly bother me

• Jaguar S Type Key Recoding 2 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  I recently bought an S Type - and I'm very happy. One of the keys had a flat battery, so I replaced it according to the instructions in the handbook, making sure I only spent a few seconds. The previous battery must have been flat as a pancake, as it now has no coding. Is this one of the keys

• XUD engine - bottom pulley bent 8 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  I am told mine is bent! You can see the alternator belt wobbling as the pulley turns so it\'s certainly mis-shapen and I had thought the garage hadn\'t perhaps put it back properly when they were doing the timing belt recently. But they say it\'s actually bent. Any ideas how this happens
