It's a big problem in Russia. A lot of dust on the roads so if you need it clean in the winter you must washed it several times in a day.
Shoes are dirty, jeans are dirty. Terrible.
Usually in a winter it looks like this:

Some other updates.
I found that rear right sixlight glass is braked a little bit with some waves.

I was searching on eBay for a new replacement and i find it. Allready bought. Waiting to be delivered to the Russia.

This weekend i'd take my summer 19 inch wheels to have center wheel HUB make exactly for the Jag - it is 73.8 mm.

Then i'd take the car to the shop where exhaust was completely rebiult. It has some problems with rust and aligment. Rear right third muffler wasn't lookink good.

And the tail pipes weren't the same from both sides.
Now everything repaired and looks perfect.

Also my car has an old StarTac phone. Condition of the phone is very worse. A lot of marks of wearing and crackes. I fond some old StarTac at home and wish to make one good from two bad. StarTac for Jagusr has some different SW inside or HW - i don't know exactly so i wish to put main PCB from Jag motorola to usual phone. Also some lines on the Jags screen weren't work.

And in June i really wish to drive to the UK to celebrate 30 years to the largest Jaguar Enthusiasts Club. It would be a long trip (aprox 2200 miles one way) but it must be very interesting.

Get a new tail lamps from UK. Those guys from whom i get those lights looks pretty stupid. I had pay them for one left and one right. What do you think i get?
I must start from the begining why i need a new lamps. My right has a crack cause of some small accident and rim on both lamps peel off a kittle bit so i decided to buy a new one.
So i get three lamps from them in total: two left and one right. And the right one has a crack!

![](http://rostman.users.photofile.ru/photo/rostman/200689680/xlarge/212907351.jpg)
The lamps were polished i think to take off some small scratches and i can see this polish paste inside the crack so this can't be done while lamp was shioed to the Russia. Somebody was polishing this lamp allready with crack.
I have contacted the seller but he continue talking that is was done by some post and just when i gets really angry he said he can make a refund but didn't tell how much. I will post a link on eBay on this seller later if didn't recieve any refund from him. So be carefull.
Bought a few days ago anothe Jags Motorola because mine looks very bad.

Rostman,
I have very good experience with the guy (Patrick) from All4Jags (All4JAGS | JAGUAR PARTS - JAGUAR TEILE - JAGUAR ONDERDELEN) in The Netherlands.
They have plenty of parts in Holland, and run depots in several other countries.
My rear view mirror came direct from Spain, no issue.
Might be an alternative, and should work for Russia.
If language should be an issue, let me know!
