Aquill, I don't know anyone up Bedford way. Maybe contact the local Jag club and see if they have some ideas. The Dallas area has two active Jaguar Clubs.
We have a service shop in Carrolton, but we don't do body work. Besides, I think you want to do the work yourself and save the $$.

Don't get lazy, use jack stands! I know the temptation of "I'll just raise it a little bit to get that one piece off." Don't take the risk. Safty first!

Yeah just be careful what you do powerwash, I usually try to only wash plastic or things that are easy to get to and just rinse the other things. You can also hand wash which once clean works very well. I've had problems after washing the engine bay down before but not in the jag...

Yeah, I've heard for many years not to power wash engines, that you can do all kinds of bad things to them. However I've always power washed them, the old points type ignitions and the modern electronic ones and have never had any problems. I just go over them quickly and don't leave the stream too long in the vital areas.
