With the trunk loaded, and, the A/C working hard (It was in the 90's all week), the car averaged 28.4 MPG for the entire trip. Regards: OldCEM

I am looking at a 2003 jaguar with 120,000 miles on it. I am wondering what basic repairs would cost such as a fuel pump or new brakes. Replies to this message: oldcem (Aug 23, 2009 7:18 pm)

Replying to: linz1956 (Aug 23, 2009 4:34 pm) If you took it to a Jag dealer for these repairs, I expect you'd pay $1K + for either of these. If you can find a competent independent garage that can handle it, you should be able to get them done substantially cheaper ( I'd guess about 30% less) . I do all my own maintenance and minor repairs to my Jag, and, avoid the dealer except for warranty work. For example, I changed the rear brake pads on my previous Jag (an X-Type ) myself - cost me $50. Regards: OldCEM
