I know the thread is somewhat old now but I've just recently joined and my profile with some photos is in the new members thread. Nice to see a few Aussies and Kiwis in this forum.

GeeVeeXF Just after having my car detailed and ceramic coated. Interior also similarly protected. Love the Euro style plates
I couldn't agree more but Covid lockdowns are killing opportunities to do what Jaguar owners do best and go touring!!! But will this suffice??? A quick pit stop in southern New South Wales as we head north to see the Darling River in flood. A 2,600 km three day blat that was done effortlessly and in total comfort. The XF ran perfectly as it always has since new!!!
Hello to ALL,
After having a LOT of cars over a lot more years, I've now combined as much as i can on a pensioner's income, my passion with my parsimonious personality and purchased my first Jaguar, dubbed Mick by my wife. Mick is an MY10 3.0L XF S diesel. I'm based in Bendigo but with children and grandchildren and other family in Melbourne, I'm very familiar with the roads that connect the two places. I have heard stories about Jaguars arriving outside of workshops and the prices for all services spontaneously being adjusted upwards by 75%. It's based on the assumption I suppose that we Jaguar owners are rich or dim or a combination of the two and I'm hoping to avoid such categorizations now that I'm a member of the tribe! I'm hopeful that I can be pointed in the direction of an honest and competent mechanic or workshop to do a belts and water pump replacement job SOON. The previous owner tells me all was done at 100,000km; Mick is now approaching 180,000km and the security loving part of me wants to get the job done now while there's still some margin of safety. I DO look forward to all of the collective wisdom,
Best Regards to ALL
Well, after being quiet for nearly a decade I thought I should drop in. My XF diesel has just passed ten years old, and we need a second car as MrsG is going full time, so I have indulged myself with an F-type. Unfortunately I can't collect it yet as my garage door broke a few weeks ago and I'm waiting for the new one to arrive.
Hi guys pretty quiet on the jag front here..I have been busy aquiring cars, a 1978 series 2 xj6 from sydney in british racing green (now for sale) and a 1975 series 2 from tassy , colour green sand with green interior. This is to go with the kingfisher blue xj40 on club plates, and series one that needs a full resto but has a lot of good bits on it from an unfinished resto in the past.
