Another year, Another pass with no advisories.

Still loving this big fast land yacht!

Just to tax it now. Roll on spring!

Annual service done today. All good and no issues, aside from a/c not getting overly cold. Can anyone recommend 3rd party air-con specialist who won't charge an arm and a leg?


Was offered another service plan, which has stood me well previously.

Next service around £600, but as part of a 2yr plan - £400.

2nd Yr- 9th year for the XJ £2100, reduced to £1515!!


Yeah, sounds like a bargain!! I'll let you know in a week or never!!

@supermoto_77 for the AC maybe?

TSW Automotive outside Ballyclare is reasonable for AC regassing.


Les at Turkington Pitstop near Carryduff is where I go for aircon
Thank you guys, I'll start calling round and get some quotes. (y)

Took the XJ to see @supermoto_77 to get the aircon seen too. Only needed a recharge thankfully. Newer style refridgerant 1234FY means paying a bit more compared to 134a, but can't do anything about that as far as I'm aware. @supermoto_77 was a good price, so went there. Thanks to those who recommended him.

Chris, thanks very much - thought at one point you were trying to get snowflakes coming out the vents 🤣 , will be well and truly chilled for the hopefully hot summer days to come!

First proper wash of the year - ridiculous I know, so gave it back to Marc @Polished and Waxed for a maintenance wash. He said it took two applications of fall out remover to get the ceramic coating working again, but he's got it looking like new again. Really do love this rapid as F big land yacht!!

Is that the place next to Kerrs Tyres?

Looking for somewhere relatively local for a bit of detailing work.

I presume you would recommend them?

Yup, that's him! I know there's been a few other peeps from here used Marc to correct their pride and joy.

As for recommending Marc myself - absolutely 100%!!!
