Re: Christmas Lunch Meet...
Hi rowanbud it's great news you've got yourself sorted out in such a quick time considering the long wait for parts for these cars. Did they fit a new one and give you the old one back as a spare to sort out yourself if you ever need to or did they just refurbish the one you had?. And thank you for your information but My car is a 2004 and I think the corrosion warranty was for only six years if that's right? But somebody here will probably be able to confirm that
So I'm probably out of luck. I think if you don't garage your car and it's left outside they do tend to gather water down in the tailgate .when opening as I've noticed when not used for a few days. But most days the tailgate is opened a few times each day because of using the car for a few deliveries we have to make for our printing business. So I don't think it does the tailgate any favours leaving it closed without opening it for too long so I tend to open mine if we haven't used the car for a few days to clear any water that might be gathering down there.
Funny you mention Hatfields I'd been dealing with them in Worcester for the last three years as they are the main Jaguar dealer in the region now as I have been driving Jaguars for over the last 10 years before I purchased the crossfire. Before Hatfields it was H.A Fox and they moved out of town and Hatfields took over so between H.A Fox and Hatfields I've been dealing with these people for over 10 years but majority of the staff from H.A Fox moved over to the Hatfields premises.
And to be honest the customer service was just as good and I thought Hadfields prices were lower than H.A Fox but as we know not all dealerships from the same company have the same customer service from dealership to dealership.
