And its fast. Speed limits now seem too slow!!

[superquag]

Another way of saying that the Dealer is . .. embarrassed .[biggrin]

Just behave yourself.... Brother-in-Law has one of those... nudged an Outback Grasshopper...and the front bumper alone was in the THOUSANDS...

[loneranger]

I'm assuming the S stands for sport haven't tried that yet. 😆

The only problem is they only gave us 1/4 of a tank of fuel. Need to ring up and find out what fuel it is. 😀

[VladTepes]

I love Jaguars. Tres magnifique.

[superquag]

98 RON - The car deserves no less... having said that, B.I.L is up in the Woop-woop and can only get 95 for his (V8) steed, and it runs without complaint. Ok, when he visits the Big Smoke every month he fills up with 98 as/when he can...


Just been told that 'Jaguar' headlamp assemblies are only supplied as a PAIR. - This also added big $$$ to the repair bill...

If the other letter on that switch is 'W', then you're looking at 'Summer' and 'Winter' behaviour for the transmission and/OR the brakes. - Father-In-Law has a Ssyang Yong REXTON (Merc engine and I think German AWD transmission) and has a similar S-W rocker switch alongside the gear-shifter.

On the other hand, if it's simply an on-off button etc, then it will be SPORTS mode, and will co$t you 1 to 2 mpg. in less economy... I understand it tells the g/box to hold only gears for a few hundred extra RPM, and tickles the 'Learning' aspect to pay more attention to YOUR acceleration rates and shifts the ECU's bias towards losing your licence rather than preserving your bank balance...[bighmmm]

EDIT: - Anyway, who's truck has been taken away for surgery ? [bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle]

[loneranger]

No W mode so it must be sport. I'll get back to to you on that tonight 😉

Unfortunately, I'm too far away, or I'd offer to post your bail, and then drive you home in it! [bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle]

[ramblingboy42]

...and....so......how fast will it go?

Mine

I called them earlier and they said any kind of petrol.

[Pocket Rocket]

I'd like to find out... but I need a licence for work :p

[Pickles2]

...and....so......how fast will it go?
Depends which engine is under the bonnet.
If it has one of the two V6 turbo petrol variants, it will go quite well, but with the other alternatives, not so well, but then the fuel economy will be excellent & I suppose not everyone that buys this type of car is looking for outright performance. It competes with the class leading Mercedes C Class in the market place.

[Pocket Rocket]

But... compared to a Defender it's very fast [biggrin]

Lol!...goes around corners a bit better too!

And the brakes are soooo sensitive. That takes a bit of getting used to [smilebigeye]

[Bytemrk]

NOT FAIR!!!!!

You get a lovely Jaguar.... and I'm getting around in an EWOK Evoque... while they put the fluid back in my steering. [bigwhistle]

Yep I said I'd rather walk than drive the Evoque and I did!!! But they needed to do something to make it up to me for the last time it went in so I asked for a Jag and they said yes. [smilebigeye]

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Does the jag have anti-stall?? [bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle]

[Pocket Rocket]

It has one of those 'turn of by itself at the lights' thingys. [biggrin]

[Bytemrk]

That's more like AUTO-stall than anti-stall .. [biggrin]..... they call it stop start - the ewok's got it and it's bloody annoying. ( Until you turn it off every time you start the car )

I find if you turn the stereo up and can't hear it that it's less annoying hehe.

And the stereo is waayyy louder than the one on my Deefer!!!

[superquag]

Don't tempt them...[bigsmile1]

[Pocket Rocket]

The turbo kicking in is fun [biggrin][biggrin][biggrin]

I've been relegated to the passenger seat. 😞

Get the speed rush AND keep your license, win win [bigsmile1]

I'm the world's worst passenger. Even when I go out for client visits at work I always try and drive. 😀

[LandyAndy]

We have them in our D4's[wink11][wink11][wink11][wink11]

Do you do skids in the D4? [bigrolf] I'd like to see that!

[loneranger]

She let me back in the driver's seat. 🤗

S stands for fast. 😆

Still don't know the top speed. 😉 Not sure they would appreciate if we rang up tomorrow and asked for a replacement because that one got impounded. 🤔

[Shortie]

I don't think its the stereo that is louder more like the engine is a bit quieter [bigwhistle]

[Shortie]

Have you taken it back yet???? I think your little truck is taking up valuable space at Southerns where my little truck should be [bawl]

[loneranger]

Still got it. 😆

[AndyG]

Get it nicely bogged in sand on the last day, then call them [bigwhistle]

[DiscoMick]

Which moves faster - fuel gauge or speedo ?

[loneranger]

Speedo. Economy is better than a Deefa. 😉

[Pocket Rocket]

Nope. Looks like I'll be keeping it tomorrow as well.

[LandyAndy]

Do you do skids in the D4? [bigrolf] I'd like to see that!

Sand mode(even on the tar),DSC off(skiddy mode)Sport mode on the tranny and GO.You wouldn't think a behemoth like that could move so fast,true story!!!!
Andrew

[Shortie]

Ohh maybe you might have it for the weekend. Does it have a tow ball? We would have time to go to the Exmouth tip and back over the weekend in it I reckon [thumbsupbig]

Andy would be right.... 'tis quite amazing even with 3 tones of vehicle..... they certainly go when asked to ...... just ask the bloke that broke a rear drive shaft taking off at Traffic lights in Melbourne [bighmmm]


I didn't even boot it THAT hard.....[bigwhistle]

[Bytemrk]

Haha ... no skiz involved!...



No sand mode....

No Sport mode



Just a big right boot and an SDV6 full of them kW thingos.... [biggrin]

[LandyAndy]

Sand mode would have saved your bacon.The CDL would have been locked thus sharing all those killawasps around!!!!
Andrew

[Shortie]

Speedo. Economy is better than a Deefa. 😉


It wasn't when I had it [bigwhistle]

Ha ha I broke the crankshaft in my TR3A dragging a Brock SS Commodore off at the lights. Fortunately I won and was around a corner while he was still being teased by his mates for being beaten by a girl in an old car, so he didn't know. But I got into big trouble when I got home, my dad reckoned that they just don't break. It was an expensive lesson which I don't think I have fully learned [bighmmm]

[loneranger]

Jags gone back. Back in the Deefa now. As much as I enjoyed it I wouldn't trade in either Deefa for one.

[loneranger]

Might have to see if we can get an RRS next. They didn't refit the dash properly and appear to have broken a clip. 😔
