Hi, it's MOT time next week and I was hoping someone here may know if there are any aftermarket options for changing the suspension. I was thinking something nice and easily adjustible like Protech's or Nitrons. I don't want to turn the old boy into a 'filling dislodger' and set it up hard as fook, but I would like to stiffen things a little without loosing too much of the sublime Jaguar cruising comfort...any ideas chaps?

als I need a passenger side seat belt clip, it seems jnr has stuffed something inside and the belt will no longer locate in the holder properly, are they 'sided' and is the convertible different from the coupe? ... also any ideas where I can pick one up... fleabay thus far has drawn a blank.

I will also need a small amount of paintwork to the boot lid just where the chrome light surround sits, and a touch up around the rear arches where a few stone chips are about to turn septic (prevention rather than necessity) I'm sick and tired in dealing with cowboys who can't blow in properly...any recommendations for someone who still takes pride in what they do..I'm in Manchester but will travel anywhere to get a real top job as money is not the issue...quality is.

Cheers

Have a chat with the guys from Knowles-Wilkins Engineering. They do the Jag SIII and XJS re-engineering, as featured on Top Gear a while ago. One of their options is uprated suspension and they might offer the parts separately.

Fantastic clap

just gotten off the phone with Knowles-Wilkins, it seems there are many options available and the prices are reasonable. Will arrange to take the old boy down for a bit of an upgrade and may even buy him some new wheels.

thanks for the help, will let you know how it turns out.
