Hello,
As far as mechanic charges go, the Third Rule of Acquisition plainly states, "Never pay more than you have to."
This place exists to help Jaguar owners abide by that rule. There is not a problem or issue these cars might develop that someone here hasn't successfully dealt with. You've come to the right place.
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
