Jag servicing in Sussex & Surrey

[OCDave]

I have recently bought a 2007 Jag X358 XJR which I already love. Beautiful, agile, compliant and effortlessly quick.

However, I have a few electrical glitches (wipers, lights etc) which I need to get sorted. Can anyone recommend a good independent Jaguar specialist in the Sussex or Surrey area, ideally within a 25 mile radius of Gatwick airport?

If anyone has personal experience of a good Jag specialist who can help me keep it going for the next 20 years or more (!) please let me know.

Arun Jaguar specialist have been going for years and have their workshop in Billingshurst, so not too far from Gatwick.

I bought a car from them years ago (not a Jag, as it happens), and they were great in dealing with some issues I had after the sale. That said, I can't comment on their costs, as the repair work was done gratis. Worth a call at any rate,

Thanks very much for that. I'll have a look at them.

Re electrical gremlins,if the battery is anything but 100 % perfect it will through up all sorts on these.
My car is at SE jags in Charlton at the mo’, and he offers a pick up collection service which might work for you.
Enjoy the car, and get on the FB Pages and www.jagforum.com some of the advice is invaluable.

Can i suggest Surrey Jaguar Centre, and have a chat with Ray.
I've used them since my fiasco with a Jag main dealer and haven't looked back.
It's a family run business.

SJC - thanks I'm a newbie so will definitely check it out.

XFRFred - I saw their website and they had very good testimonials. You have just sealed the deal and they are pretty close to me too. Thank you very much - much appreciated.

Nice motor, I have a 350R and very close to Crawley too, will keep an eye out. SE Jags in Charlton are good and i've heard good things about Tom Lenthall, albeit they are 60 miles away.

Before you send it off, check all the earth points all around the car and the condition on the battery. I have a CTEK charger, you're welcome to leave the battery here and see if there's an improvement after being hooked up overnight.

[OCDave]

Thanks very much for the offer - very kind.
I'm probably going to take it in to Surrey Jag centre in Redhill (see above) anyway as I've just bought the car and I'd like someone who specialises in them to give it the once over and check everything's as it should be.

[Stedman]

Good luck. Let us know how you get on

Definitely Surrey Jag Centre - recently relocated to Merstham. https://surreyjagcentre.co.uk/

First used them many years ago when I had a Series III V12 and they currently look after my 2005 X350 XJR.

Thanks for confirming that. It's good to hear such good opinions of them.
