1 interior festoon bulb & 2 tyres!
General comments?
I get great pleasure in giving every boy racer a damn good spanking. I get even greater pleasure, when people ask me "what does it do to the gallon" in saying I don't know and in all truth I don't.I fill it to the brim and when it shows 1/2 I fill it again if you keep check of mpg on a jag sell it because you can't afford to run it! As for reliability it is superb, or am I just lucky. But guess what my next car is an xjr. Fuel stations are happy!
