THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Thanks and good idea, I think my old profile got lost in the forum move.

Does anyone know if/where I can get a replacement dashboard tank switch? I suspect mine has a bad connection. A good used one will do.

One way of looking at it is that you stand more chance of your car passing its MoT if it has been properly and regularly serviced. There is clearly some overlap, so the questions to ask would be does the service include checking for corrosion, brake efficiency (on the same rollers used for the MoT) ...
