What do you all think? Been in the Jag forums for ages, take it easy please!

Spec?

Slightly odd choice...but then again I've decided I have to sell one of my vehicles and I'm getting rid of my Jaguar XJR so that I can keep my SeriesIII so I've sort of done the same as you....only much much worse.

very nice - I'm planning to swap my passat for a RR later this year.
Whats under the bonnet? TD6 or V8?

The more I look the more my list is getting defined - so far it has to be:
TD6 or V8+LPG, Vogue, bonetti Grey, Cream Leather, wood cappings... not going to make it easy for myself

Yes indeed an odd choice, we are having our first kid later in the year, and looking to trim costs wherever possible. The Jag was fantastic on the rare occasions you used the performane, but you couldn't get more than 260 miles from £80 of fuel, option was to sell the jag and get a sh!tebox and put a few k in the bank but the opportunity came up for this and i thought why not! If it turns out to be a mistake then i'll just sell for no loss so here i am! It's an 02 HSE with rear monitors & dvd player but i must say that the standard ice is totally sh!t! Will look into ungrading next week, look forward to asking many a cack questio over the following months......

Check to ensure recalls have been carried out - specifically the front diff.

Have an S Type R myself and thinking about changing it for a RR ... let me know how you get on in a few weeks re: mpg, running costs & reliability as I'll be looking for a similar age/model I think.
Good luck

Hi Paul ...still enjoying the Fez ....

The missus has just chopped her Cayenne in for a 2010 RR Vogue TDV8 and I must say that it is absolutely sublime, supremely comfortable and ideal for the family.....the V8 diesel engine is just what it needed, very torquey and totally negating the bulk of the beast...all other diesel incarnations are a bit tardy .....if u can stretch to an early TDV8 you will not be disapointed.
