| My recommendation goes to Autoglym, but rather than thier Super Resin polish (red square) I would personally go for thier Ultra Deep Shine (dark blue square). It can be a bit of hard work to buff off, ... |

| Staying below 70 definitely helps. My 3.6 TDV8 returns 37 to the gallon if I keep the cruise control set at 60mph. Even though that it's ticking over at 1,600RPM at that speed, I'm still amazed at how ... |

| I'd expect some noise from the pads and discs as the two new faces bed in. It should go after a few hundred miles of gentle bedding in driving. Don't stamp on the brakes to bed them in faster, you'll ... |

| They certainly do. The very best I've seen from my 3.6 TDV8 is 35 mpg, but it was on a 4am drive with the cruise control set at 60 mph all the way from Leicester to London. |

| Depends what mileage you do chap. If it's weekends and holidays, just get the 4.2 SC. As the owner of a 3.6 TDV8 i can testify to the silken murmuring and 30ish to the gallon of a refined diesel. Get ... |

| Sounds to me like you would end up paying 40k for a driving experience you would find underwhelming and I suspect given, the not inconsiderable sum, resent the new car. |

I'd check the Mass Airflow Meter. Sounds like it doesn't know how much fuel to put in or is getting an incorrect reading.
I don't know about the RR, but on the Jaguar engines, if you pull the plug ... |
