Can anyone recommend a good / trustworthy Jag specialist in North London to take an x300 to for a service?

How much is reasonable for a full service for one of these?

I'm toying with either getting a proper overhaul done at a specialist or just getting the oil and filters changed at a high street chain. It's tricky to judge as the car is really not worth that much (bought it for £1k, looking in the classifieds it might be worth a few quid more now but not much).

I have no experience of x300, but if it was me I would just do the oil & filter, etc., on a £1k car, unless there was anything obviously wrong with it.

However, I use The Jag Workshop in Ealing, who really know their stuff for classic and modern Jaguars. They may be worth talking to anyway, even if you don't commit to any work.

Another vote for John at North London Jaguars.. Good guy and knows his stuff, think he used to be a Jag tech. He has looked after our X Type estate for the past two years or so. Always details what has been done and price and also what needs doing and what can be left for a bit. He is Bush Hill Park, Enfield sort of way
