the ls had a more superior feel in a straight line and for silentness................. but i feel more at home in the xj8

and at the risk of annoying anyone......................the jag looks so much better

traded in my lovely ls400 for.................. a 1998 jag xj8 4.0 v8

had jags in the past and to be honest thats where my heart is.

just ordered the wipers from www.wiperblades.co.uk got my TWO and 3 for missus's focus all bosch for £ 27 vat and delivery included

just been to Halfords to get new wiper blades for my ls400,

not in the flipbook so i asked the 12 year old on the till, he put my car details into computer and told me they are a special order,

ok i said tell me the price ............. £9.95 his reply, i asked each ? he replied oh you want two ? !!!

i explained as basically i could that the car has two wipers so yes please young man i would like to buy two !

he played on his computer then told me as its not a common car they will have to order it. ...... it i asked ? yes he said it.. we can only get you the drivers side one we dont supply the passenger side one.

ok ok get me the manager,

manager comes over and plays on computer then tells me the boy is right. they can only get me the drivers side one.

i think this is a very strange situation ?? looked at them on evilbay the sellers state different sizes for my 1996 ls400.

anyone know the correct size ? and has anyone experienced this at the largest car accessory chain in the country ???

just out of intrest........ what cars did LS owners own before you became LS owners ?

hera are my previous few cars:

1990 jaguar xj6 4.0

2002 mondeo tdci zetec

1988 bmw 750il ( showroom condition 63,000 miles which i written off )

2000 saab 95 2.3 turbo

1996 LS400 ( present car )

hi folks, i am the very proud owner of a ls400 p reg, promised myself one for years and now finall got it, best car i have ever drove....... now you probably thinking am in the wrong section but am not and this is why.................... my dad is now ready to change his car.

jokingly i suggested a ls400 but he says its too big.... i agree as his driveway would not accomodate one.

i have now got him considering an is200, he likes the look of them and i have spotted a few on autotrader. he will pay a maximum of £5000. and wants an automatic, i have stressed he should get one with service history, apart from this we dont know what to look for.

is there anything in particular he should look for ?

is there a certain model or year to avoid ?

what year/spec can he expect to get for £ 5k ?

many thanks

twin
