I needed some work done, dealer refused to do it, the guy fixed the problem.
So he can say anything he wants, I don't care, as long as he does what I need him to do.
My opinion is not much defferent from his:
Reliabilty of all European cars is much worser than Honda/Toyota. This is great, I can buy nice Jag close to nothing! I had 5 so far (2 x XJS, 2 x X, XK8(still dead))

Here an inexpensive Jag (they're asking $800), Though I am concerned about the inherent unreliability of the marque..

I hated Jags when my S-type died 700 miles from my house! I took my dads car, drove back to FL, took my Durango with tow dolly, loaded dads Focus on it and went to MD again to get my S! It turned out, speedometers die all the time and key recognizing device is inside instrument cluster! Dealer ripped me off to program another speedometer.

I didn't diagnose it there. In FL:
1.I diagnosed it and was about 95% sure, it was instrument cluster. I went to talk to dealer mechanics, they said speedometers die all the time and showed me cardboard box filled with speedometers.
2.I talked to best mechanic there and guy said he could program used speedometer.
They made me buy key blank for $130(?), because second key was needed.
Everything cost me about $1000, including gas to tow.

It took 10 min. to reprogram speedometer and keys, they charged me for 1 hour, it is OK, not complaining about that.

we'll program a key not purchased from us but it has to be a Jaguar key. Too many issues with ebay, aftermarket keys and remotes. Yeah its a standard 1 hour fee. time doesn't matter. You know overhead, damn Toughbook laptops that are $6000 and have to be used, we have 6 and many times we're waiting for someone else to finish. I would like to use my own $1100 touch screen laptop and just load software and buy a interface. BUT NOOOOO Jaguar can tell what we use and they wont update and bitch at dealers that try. Most all good locksmiths can do it as well and get around VCM programming or replacement like on the newer cars
