If you can be bothered to travel to Cardiff, try these guys. Can put a full dealer stamp in the book without the cost! I shall be seeing them soon too. Good luck.

Thank you!

An assoiciate has recommended NM Jags of Weston Super Mare - does anybody have any experience of dealing with them (they are a bit closer to home than Cardiff and I'm a lazy b'stard!).

Yes you're right, they do move about a bit but they've been in buisness for years.

When I was travelling round looking for a new XJ they had some very clean, nicley presented cars for sale on the forecourt - quite the opposite to the stone chipped, tired and shabby main dealer p/xes you see at most of the independents in the south east.

Swallows in Rooksbridge (BS26 2TA), on the A38 near Weston. I haven't used them myself but a friend who owns an S type has and highly recommends them. He doesn't go anywhere else now and says the service and prices are excellent. He's convinced me enough that when my XJR needs something I can't do myself, I'll be using them.

Here's their website : Swallows Jaguar
