  What power are you happy with and why? For me, I`m happy with little, contrasted with todays cars. Why? Well my first `car`was an 850cc Mini van back in the 60`s. You were really aware of hills and Shap fell on the M6 used to really take the speed off. I can remember years of climbing the M62

  ), and have got the quality / customer bit right as well - according JD Power. It struck me that if they fixed the design on some cars (X type in particular - next S type looks good according to current spy shots) then these things should have no problem selling. So imagine we are now the new board at Jag

• Japanese reliability? 10 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  the service department was quoting me a replacement price of around £360, until I told him the car was still under warranty, which took the wind out of his sails (why did he not know/check this out first of all?).
