Replying to: gr8cat (May 06, 2009 7:03 pm) full hide upholstery you can take most dogs anywhere and just wipe the interior wh ith a damp rag to clean it up. Sharp toenails are a danger, but not nearly somuch as in a car with cheap upholstery. I don't take my dogs in my cars with cloth upholstery, but I have had no real problems in my Jag.s. No Puppies should be left alone in any car. Dont forget to moisturize your leather twice per year. Good hand lotion with "lanolin" is usually as good as fancy leather creams. Best of luck, Soberguy Soberguy

Replying to: soberguyjaguar (May 07, 2009 3:22 pm) I find that for cleaning leather - real leather - of everyday normal dirt- Murphy's Oil soap does a bang up job followed by a good rubdown with beeswax leather-fit oil. Neither of these products leave any transfer residue on the leather to ruin clothing and the beeswax keeps the leather supple and somewhat waterproof - good if there are grandkids around making spills, etc. and it also protects the leather from the sun's ultra-voilet rays - and that should help to keep the leather from drying up and cracking. Oh boy, is this cat going to be a lot of work - it's already been washed every day since we got it, vacuumed twice, dusted, and next the leather. Soon the mechanic, I suppose. We are having fun - can't believe how FAST this cat takes off - and square corners - man, my old Dodge Shadow would, ah well, no point in going there. Thanks again.

Replying to: gr8cat (May 08, 2009 4:13 pm) like going to heaven. Enjoy your car. Take yours dogs with you. Be happy. Save your pennies. And, when the extended warranty runs out, go get a used XJ-R. Preferably a Vanden Plas. Of course, when your ready to trade, the new XF may be within your range by then. Or, you might just want a newer S-type. The XFs have destroyed their resale value, and we should be able to get just as good a bargain in 2 or three years as now. However, there are very few cars as good as the one just bought. Regardless of price, that is just about as good as automotive excellence gets. The purist who doesn't want a large car will stand a good chance of liking it better than every other sport sedan. I know that I definitely prefer a V-8 S-Type to my '05 BMW 545i sport package. The E class Merc.s are numb, The Audi.s aren't powerful enough. Unless you count the Maserati Quatroporte, then you just might have the worlds best sport sedan. Life is Good!! soberguyjaguar

Replying to: gr8cat (May 17, 2009 6:12 am) There's usually a bunch of the Jaguar Service CDs for sale on EBay - fairly cheap. I 've got one that covers the models through the 2003 model year - think I paid $20 for it a couple of years ago. Some of the internet Jag forums also list sites that'll let you download the info off the CDs free as well. I've been checking EBay periodically - looking for a CD that covers the 06 model year.
