I live in Chingford NE London. Can anyone recommend a Jag garage for servicing? I have a X300 and a X350 supercharged. Both have full Jag FSH so want stamps in the book but don’t want to pay silly labour rates.

Cheers

I can suggest 2. One is LesPaul, near Chigwell. The other is Powerbell, a bit further out in Taplow. I used both on all 5 of my Jags.

Thanks for the info.

Were you happy with Les Paul?

The one experience I've has with Les Paul many years ago attempting to diagnose a random drive line vibration was not a happy one.

It's a shame Wyn Thomas in Epping went tits up - Mike his mechanic identified the problem in 5 minutes and sold me a used part to fix it.

Didn’t know it had gone? I heard the original chap retired some time back but someone had taken it over. Shame.

Google says insolvency in 2012 and company dissolved in 2014.

Dunno if somebody else picked up the pieces and is trading under a different name after that, but his main Spannerman Mike had at least 10 years on me so hopefully long retired by now.
