One last, big (60K mile) service at my Jag dealer. Best things to get done?
Soooo... my Magic Warranty (detailed elsewhere) is soon coming to an end. It's what first brought me into the Jag dealership in LA which has been my go-to and has served me well. I also recently rolled over 60,000 miles, so I've decided to do one last overpriced-but-great service at my Jag dealership. We work together, and they let me a la carte my service options, so I'm looking for advice. The only obvious ones are oil change and air filter(s). About the car:
- had my brake fluid changed(by them) at about 30K miles.
- had the full differential replaced at 25K miles
- to my knowledge, nothing's been done to the antifreeze (I've never even opened the radiator cap in five years...)
- ditto with the transmission, which has been a little wonky. One of the things I'm going to discuss when I bring it in.
I know this stuff can get pricey, quick, at a dealer.
So: in addition to oil and air, what would YOU get done?
Thanks as always...

Focus on the supercharger. Your warranty should cover the repair. A cooperative service manager is your friend. Let them listen to it. Its a wear item and it needs oil replaced.
You need transmission service but warranty wont cover it so it makes no sense to do it there.

Check your headlights, those are expensive to replace. If you get new ones, keep your old ones.
Expecting you in May.

You know... I have no idea. What happened: I started noticing a brief post-shutoff "knock" of about 2-3 seconds after I shut the car off. Sounded like something an old car of mine would do on hot days after a long drive. So I mentioned it when I brought it in, and they told me it was the supercharger. I hadn't had any warnings and it seemed to be running strong.
They told me it would either be replaced or rebuilt. Ended up being rebuilt. I remember they mentioned a bearing and something else which may indeed have been a torsion isolator.
All I know: they had to have some part(s) shipped from England, so the car was there longer than expected (so I got to know the XE really well), and whatever they did solved the problem.

Without derailing the thread, may I ask why so often? Do exotic's brakes leak? Even every 2 years for the XK I thought was a bit much but I do it so I don't have to replace calipers in the future (maybe I just answered my own question...)

Most the exotic cars are using brake brands under the Brembo umbrella.

No idea other than you may be heating fluid more due to track days and that is normal course (annual brake fluid) for cars that may see track days; as part of their annual service. I notice some difference after fluid swap and bleed. Could be in my head, but I don't think so.
