When you do need parts check the Mondeo prices, they're often cheaper for the identical part. |

Jags never had much footwell space, hence most were auto's (just 2 pedal, stop/go), personally I wouldnt rung a Jag as a normal PH/hack, just not enough space in them have heard them called John Deere Jaguars, very unkind I thought |

They also sound like a Mondeo with the injector rattle. |

I had a Vauxhall front wheel drive car that didnt need the engine/box out or split to change the clutch, took about 2 hours going gentle and about £50 in bits |
