One less drama...

I bit the bullet and ordered from SNG Barratt in the UK a new ignition cylinder. I ordered it online last Friday. It was sent last Monday via UPS, travelled via Staffordshire and then Leicestershire, then went via Koeln (Cologne), in Germany,then Dubai, then Melbourne and arrived in Adelaide, (getting lost slightly when the delivery went astray). I got it Friday afternoon. I had it installed this morning (Sunday) by a specialist automotive locksmith. Hopefully no dramas, now as I had to fight the ignition barrel each time I tried to start it as the 24 year old lock was well worn!

Like this quote...

"...The driving experience, drive a Jag, and everything else seems so rough, you waft along in your own world, with handling that could disgrace many sportier cars. You press on and the big cat really does dig its claws in. Making this barge, handle like a sporty saloon." Thanks to James Copp-Taylor on the Jaguar XJ40… He went on to end his blog entry with this: "To conclude, they’re going to be a classic car, no doubt about it. Why? Think about it. Last real Jaguar, a car of many technological firsts, the first Jaguar you could buy second hand, and actually afford to run! So many good reasons to buy one, and with prices so cheap, what you waiting for?" I also like this post from the same blog by Keith Adams
