How to check fuel consumption on my 98 Jaguar vanden plas. Please help?

Hey i drive my dad's 1998 jaguar vanden plas alot and I have seen people post videos of them showing their fuel consumption and other options on their trip computer in the gauge cluster screen. Although, I do not know how to check mine. I would really like to learn what button to push or what to do. Please help me out.


thanks!|||its the miles you drove divided by the gallons of gas it holds. it has to have a full tank.|||You can calculate fuel consumption measured in MPG or L/100km with one of online calculators. Here is a link to one of them.

How to get rid of the "Air Suspension Fault" warning on 2004 Jaguar XJ8?

I have a 2004 Jaguar XJ8 with less than 61,000 miles on it. This warning message pops up on the odometer screen all the time. The reset button only takes the text on the screen away, but how do you get rid of the amber colored warning light?|||Did you get it fixed? If not, then that's why it is still lit. If you got it fixed, tell them to reset the codes.|||Get rid of that craptastic air bag suspension and replace it with coil springs.

Which is a better guitar and why? a Fender Classic Player Jaguar Special HH or a Fender Jaguar HH?

The Classic Player Jaguar Special HH has a tremolo whereas the Jaguar HH has a fixed bridge. The Jaguar HH only comes in black, which I like but the Classic Player Jaguar Special HH comes in a 3-tone burst and white. I play rock music like Nirvana, Foo Fighters, GnR, Aerosmith, and others in those categories.|||Fender Classic Player Jaguar Special HH.

Jaguar question? Can someone help me understand something about the Jaguar models?

I know this might sound like a stupid question, but I don't know anything about cars. I was looking on wikipedia about the new Jaguar XJ models (X351), and it says there are three different types of engines: the 3.0 litre V6 Diesel, 5.0 litre V8 Petrol, and the 5.0 litre V8 Petrol supercharged. I don't understand the difference between these engines. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks.|||The litre size is the engine displacement (the amount of air and fuel that can fit in the cylinders). The "V" denotes the type of engine - specifically the way that the cylinders are oriented in the engine block. The number after the "V" is the number of cylinders. The petrol/diesel is obviously the type of fuel that is used. A supercharged engine has a compressor (or supercharger) that compresses the air/fuel mix before it goes into the cylinders effectively making that cylinder able to burn more air/fuel than it could without the supercharger.





Knowing nothing about cars....most of that is irrelevant to you. Focus on the power and fuel consumption for the different engines and whether you want petrol or diesel. You may also want to test drive the different configurations as they will have different driving characteristics.|||The diesel offers a reasonable amount of power and both good economy and great longevity too.The V8 petrol is the base engine and would satisfy most people. The supercharged engine offers the most power when you need it and reasonable fuel consumption if you do not press too hard on the gas pedal too often.

How do you differentiate between a leopard, a jaguar and a cheetah?

And, please don't tell me a jaguar is a car and the others are not... heh! ;)|||First of all, the spots:-


1) Cheetahs have black spots all over the body.


2) Leopards have black circles all over the body


3) Jaguars have dark brown as well a black circles all over the body.





Secondly, the body colour %26amp; the habitat:-


1) Cheetahs have yellowish tint of skin. This helps in it's camouflage in the savanna grasslands.


2) Leopards have yellow-orange tint which helps them in camouflage in the trees


3) Jaguars have dull yellow skin colour which provides a better camouflage than the Cheetahs but then they don't live in the savannas in Africa, they live in the North American forests.





Third, it's the speed:-


1) Cheetah - 70mph


2) Leopard - Avoids running mostly but 50 - 60mph


3) Jaguar - (Same as Leopard)





Fourth, it's the way of hunting:-


1) Cheetah - First it camouflages itself in the savannahs, comes close to the prey %26amp; then pounces on it, breaking it's spine.


2) Leopards - Sits on Tree tops, watches the prey below %26amp; then pounces on it, breaking it's neck.


3) Jaguars - No Camouflage. It hides behind the trees, waits for the prey to come and then pounces on it. It does not miss the aim like the panthers or other cats.|||Firstly, they're all members of the cat familiar. Second they're all fairly large with the jaguar being the largest and strongest, followed by the leopard, the puma and finally the cheetah. The Puma is a tawny creature found in both the Americas, varying in size according to climate, with the largest recorded ones in the colder parts of Argentina. In North America it is sometimes called a Cougar. It bears a superficial resemblance to its larger cousin the Lion and is sometimes found in mountainous areas, hence the name Mountain Lion. The Jaguar is found in South America and like the Leopard and the Cheetah, it is spotted. However the Jaguar is larger and stronger than either of these, in fact it is the only cat able to kill with a single bite, having the strongest jaws in the Cat family, while only Lions and Tigers are larger in terms of both size and mass. The leopard is the most successul of all feline predators in that its generalist diet, supreme intelligence and absolute stealth makes them able to take on even human adversaries. In India and Africa, people fear the Leopard far more than the Tiger or Lion respectively as a result. The Cheetah, the third of the large spotted cats, is native to Africa and Asia, but most commonly associated with the African savanna and is the fastest of all land animals, being the only cat whose claws cannot retract and appears therefore to be more doglike. It even chases down prey more often than stalking it. Cheetahs are easily tamed and were once used to accompany Moghul kings on hunting trips.The above three cats differ from each other in habitat, prey species, behaviour and colouration. A jaguar inhabits the jungles or rainforests of South America, while both Leopards and Cheetahs prefer the plains of Africa and Asia. Both Jagaurs and Leopards have been known to climb trees to rest and keep their prey safe from other roving predators such as wild dogs, hyenas and lions. Confusingly they're both referred to as Panthers in literature, added to by the fact that both can have black mutations (only possible if both parents are black). Jaguars (like Tigers) enjoy swimming and have shorter tails than Leopards who prefer the Savannas and need the tails to aid in balance while running down their prey. Jaguars also have more muscular bodies. Cheetahs can be thought of as the sprint athletes with thin bodies and individual black ,dots as opposed to Jaguars and Leopards with their black circles witj brown centres and heavyweight boxer or wrestler build. The Cheetah' s head is smaller and has a black line running along the nose. Finally the mutation that one finds in Cheetahs is called the King Cheetah and results from the spots fusing into 'lines' or 'stripes', in my opinion a relic from the days when they were creatures that needed to do more stalking.|||Not to sound smart but by their spots. A jaguar has spots that are darker than their fur outlined with black with a black spot in the center. Go to http://www.abf90.dial.pipex.com/jaguar.h鈥?/a> to see a photo.

What is the type of the ants, frog, and the bark of the tree used by Paw Jaguar? "APOCALYPTO"?

Whats the best brand when shopping for a catalytic converter for a 2002 jaguar?

i just purchased a beautiful white 2002 jaguar xtype 65k miles that is missing the catalytic converter and the guy is telling me thats not important and the car will continue running just fine.Is this true and what type should i start shopping for?|||Your "Check Engine" Light should be coming on soon. The CAT is monitored by all OBDII compliant vehicles. (All Vehicles 1996 and up)





Also it will not pass an emissions test without one as it is a Federally Mandated Emissions Device. If you live in an area that requires a smog or equipment test you will fail and you will not be able to register or tag your car.





Lack of a CAT will also reduce exhaust back pressure. This is good? Right? Well, the engine and some of it's components i.e. the EGR system were designed with this back pressure in mind and will not work correctly without it.





Last: "Universal" CATs will only last about a year and then need replacing. They also require modification of the exhaust system which can change resonance and functionality. Your best bet is always an OEM Catalytic Converter or a Direct Fit CAT from a reputable manufacturer.





Try www.catalyticconverterwarehouse.com for pricing ideas.|||It should run fine. But look into Magnaflow Cats, they are better flowing and are a universal fit.

I would like a suitable feeder species to feed my jaguar cichlid?

i would like to feed my jaguar cichlid on something that will give it a little fight before it can eat it i would like something that will just give the jag a lil wrestle.I would like something in the crustacean family.|||These cichlids will readily accept most food substances offered. Diet should be varied however. Offer a variety of insect, including blood worm, earthworm, mysis, crickets (for larger specimens). Chopped meat can also be offered along with beef heart (offer very sparingly due to its high fat content) along with prawn and fish (live/frozen). Frozen fish is a much preferred method of feeding fish as many "feeder fish" carry the risk of the introducing disease into your aquarium, possibly harming your fish. This is the best feed for the Cichlid. The problem with feeding food that will fight back is the chance it will go after other fish in the tank.

Can anyone give me the pros and cons of each? Which would be a better choice?|||Well it depends are you looking for speed or comfort?





The Jaguar is ideal for bank robberies due to wide doors for easy entrance and good speed and handling for get aways.





The BMW is German built however so does have a certain comfort and reliability that women tend to prefer.





Now divorce does not always get all that you can. So try selling of a few of your husbands things and embezzling the cash.





_()_|||Both are good handling comfortable cars. BMW is smaller but adequate. BMW has above average reliability, Jaguars are pretty bad although this one is to new to know for sure. BMW retains its value quite well, Jaguar depreciation is high. The Jag will cost a lot more to own over five years according to most experts.





It's your money now. Buy what you like and I'll bet you'd look terrific in either one.|||Sounds like you are making an impulse buy in order to 'show-up' your husband following your divorce.


Be careful here, or you could end up screwing yourself in the long-run.





I would use your money for buying or improving your home, first. At least it will eventually go up in value.





If you need a car, buy something sensible and reliable for around $20K. You don't need a fancy car to prove you are successful.|||If you are trading your husband in, don't make the mistake of trading high maintenace for higher maintence.


Between the two vehicle you mentioned, I would choose the BMW. It will probbaly perform better than your "trade-in".

Can someone tell me the advatages of a Fender Stratocaster as opposed to the Telecaster, Jaguar or Jazzmaster?

More specifically, the Vintage Hot Rod '57 Stratocaster.





Why are the features of the Stratocaster better than the similar models (Telecaster, Jaguar, Jazzmaster)





Thanks.|||Here's that main advantages/disadvantages to all of them (except the Jaguar). I own several of each of them.





Stratocaster





Pros: 3 pickups (standard) as opposed to 2 pickups in the others (standard). These means you can get more tonal variety from the Stratocaster. There are several replacement parts for the Stratocaster as well as custom parts for easy modification. The value of a Stratocaster holds very well, and older ones are worth much much more than the Jazz or the Tele.





Cons: Everyone has one, AKA you don't stand out much. The tone can be compressed, thin, and too quacky for some types of music. Occasionally the treble can overwhelm the mids and the lows. The 5 way toggle switch and the volume knobs get in the way of strumming waaaay too often.





Telecaster:





Pros: Very bright clear sound, not compressed. Several custom and replacement parts. Volume knob and pickup switch are in perfect spots and don't get in the way. Very versatile guitar tone for several musical styles. There exists a semi-hollow version (thinline telecaster).





Cons: Too much treble sometimes. Only 2 pickups on standard models. A lot of models have really really thick necks, and it makes it hard to play fast sometimes. (There are models with small necks too though).





Jazzmaster:





Pros: Very full sound and tone due to the soapbar type pickups. Not too much treble not too much bass. Rhythm circuit and lead circuit switchable. Unique looks, you stand out a little bit because you have a different guitar. Tons of tone options due to different circuits.





Cons: Some people get confused with the available circuit switching. The bridge is horrid on the American models (the Mexican classic player series has a good bridge though). Hard to set up and intonate, and stay that way. Doesn't hold value as well as the Strat and the Tele.





All in all my recommendation would depend on what type of music you want to play.





If you want a solid blues guitar that can do good classic rock, and pop fairly well then look at the Strat.





The Telecaster is going to be the pick for country or treble oriented classic rock. If you snag a telecaster deluxe with the humbuckers you can play heavier rock, alternative, and with the right pedals maybe even some metal.





The Jazzmaster is my favorite and makes a perfect guitar for indie rock, alternative, and surf. The Jazz has the most balanced sound out of all of them and is easily adapted to all types of music.





I have the hot rod 57, and I love it for a clear bright sound perfectly suited for classic rock tones and rockabilly. The pickups are a little hotter than a standard Stratocaster. The pickups make the drive channels on amps sound creamy. however, before making a final decision I would seriously compare the 57 strat with a classic player jazzmaster. The jazzmaster will cost you a little less, and you just might be pleasantly surprised.

What pickups should i get for my jaguar?

I'm putting together a fender jaguar and don't know if i should go with the original single coil pickups or get some humbuckers. How will the single coils deal with overdrive|||Just as with clean playing, you won't notice much difference in single and double coils (humbuckers) in relation to overdrive until you are using more than one at a time, as the tone is different across the length of the body of the body.





One issue is the lack or selection in single coil pick-up. Where you can get humbuckers for almost any sound you desire, there are very few types of single coils.





Also Active vs. Passive, if you want active you'd probably be going with humbuckers, i've heard terrible things about active single coils.





There is quite a bit of technical differences between the two options, but in the end you'll find not much difference in sound. It'll depend a lot more on what you are using for your overdrive.





I personally prefer humbuckers, but try listening to different artists who use each, and audio/video reviews. But to answer the main question, you'll probably never have a complaint about your overdrive either way, at least not due to your pick-ups.





As an interesting side note, many companies make split coil humbuckers, kind of a hybrid of the two, so that you can turn off either coil. Not cheap, but neat!

Does Jaguar have plans to make a hybrid? I want an XK Convertible, and I wish they'd make a hybrid of it. Do you think they won't since it's a rich people car and rich people generally don't care about the environment and how their high consumption impacts things?|||Jaguar doesn't have any plans for a hybrid powerplant.





The article link below on the upcoming CX-F outlines the changes Ford will soon be implementing as the model line is taken further upmarket where Jaguar will return to a more performance-oriented product mix.





Hybrids as "green" vehicles is a myth anyway, hybrids have been proven to be bigger polluters than conventional engines as a result of the mining and disposal of the materials in the expendable battery packs.

Jaguar engine stall and coolant overflow?

I bought a 98 Jaguar xj8 today and the coolant over flowed three times but the temp. gage didn't raise to the hot level, also I was driving on the freeway around 65 mph and the engine started loosing power and after rolling for a minute the engine stalled. What's the problem and is it major?|||Check your radiator if its clog. The water might not circulating properly. Also check your water and coolant level. its should be in the proper level. You can remove air in your radiator by removing the cap while in idle for about 3 to 5 minutes then putting the cap back. In this way you are removing air causing to much pressure and overheating. Hope this helps!|||Sounds like the seller may have been aware of the overheating problem, as this same occurrence just happen to some friends. Prior to your driving off in the car did you inspect the engine compartment for possible signs of over heating/ Like stains around the reservoir,etc. Also check the temp Gage connection it may be unplugged. Next will be the thermostat and water pump. As found with my friends vehicle the oil was clear, but an oil change before the sale would make it look good. End of story before we got the vehicle home the engine overheated three times and blew the head gaskets to the tune of 1k and the light never came on.|||It could be as simple as an overfilled coolant reservoir but from what you say it sounds like a blown head gasket. This pushes the compressed fuel and air mixture out of the combustion chamber into the cooling system causing it to push coolant out of the radiator/reservoir. Yes this is a major problem.|||i would say it is a blown head gasket or a cracked head.

Where can I find 1988 Jaguar XJ6 stereo security code?

The battery had been removed. The entire system needs reset. Anyone know how to do this? 1988 Jaguar XJ6.|||First you should go through the glove box and check the owners manual or look for any codes written on or inside of it. Also there is often times a business card size card that may have your code on it. If that doesn't work you may be able to call a local dealer with the VIN number of you car for the code. Lastly if that doesn't work the radio needs to be pulled from the car and the serial number on the radio will need to be given to the deal for the code.





Good Luck!|||If you go on to google and type in the make of your car and stereo codes. eg. vauxhall stereo codes. cant remember the website but if you go though them im sure ull find what you are looking for.

What is the difference between jaguar and leopard,cheetah and king cheetah?

black big cat is it jaguar?|||Answer number three was a fairly good answer, but there is more. Jaguars and Leopards are often mistaken for each other (by those who don't know their cats), but as already noted, Jaguars are more South American jungle dwellers, and Leopards are mainly African cats. Jaguars have a broader face than Leopards.





Cheetahs are not actually considered one of the "Big Cat" family. It is said that the long black lines from their eyes down their faces are from tears at being left out of the cat world. Here are some Cheetah facts:


Their claws do not retract, ever, the way the other cat's claws do.


Although male Cheetahs will often form small units of two up to four in order to hunt more easily, they are primarily a solitary cat, unlike lions which live in large families.


Cheetahs can purr, the other big cats cannot.


Cheetahs will never scavenge: if the kill is not of their own doing, they take a pass.


Conversely, many other animals will steal from Cheetahs (Lions, Leopards, Hyenas...), which is why Cheetahs have to gulp down their food in a panic and keep moving - no leisurely dining for them.


Cheetahs will do almost anything to avoid a fight (with the exception of a mother protecting her children: I've seen Cheetahs run off Lions then). This is because their only advantage is their speed, but their bodies are very delicate and they slightest injury to a paw or leg could render them incapable of hunting.


Like Lions, Cheetahs don't climb trees (although kittens will from time to time).


And of course, the beautiful and noble Cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world.





There are fewer than 500 Cheetahs living in the world today; they are a heartbeat away from extinction.|||JAguars tend to live in south american jungles they have dark spots with darker skin all around... Leopards are tree climbers typically found in africa lighter skin with a different type of spots... Cheetahs are the smallest out of the big cat family they are the only ones with non reyractable claws they have long dark lines from their eyes all the way to their mouths which keeps the sun out of their eyes they are the sprinters they have smaller spots|||Well, that depends who you are asking. They may reference it differently and say a puma is a jaguar, or viceversa. A king cheetah will be larger (no doh!) and is faster. A leopard I think is slightly different, but all in all the same.|||Google it

Where can I find a special OEM tire for my Jaguar?

I have a 1990 XJS 12 cylinder convertible with 29K miles. The car is all original, including the tires. They are cracked and only hold air for about a month, at a time. I want to replace them with the original equipment. I am looking for 4 Pirelli P600 tires, size 235/60 VR15. I am well aware that there are newer tires available with better performance characteristics, but I am attempting to maintain the vehicle in original condition. I am the third owner (eight years) and all service work has been completed by Jaguar of Cincinnati, the original dealer. I know that this vehicle is original. Does anyone out there know where I can find these tires in new condition, not dry rotted. They have not been manufactured for a few years.





Thanks|||Its been more than a few years since that tire was discontinued and even if you were to find a set I wouldn't be too eager to put them on. The effects of aging is a hot topic in the tire industry right now. There is no universal standard yet for how old a tie should be before it is taken out of service - the recommendations vary from 6 to 10 years but I don't know anyone who recommends having a tire on the car that is more than 10 years old - visible dry rot or not.

Will a jaguar xj6 vanden plas ever be collectible?

The jaguar is a 1986 in perfect condition with low miles. It's not worth anything now but would it be in 20 years?|||Doubtful, there were many of them made, although with the record for poor reliability and build quality, no many of them may make it another 20 years.

What's the difference beetween Fender Jaguar and Jazzmaster? Because the body is same, maybe the pickups?|||Hello there,





They do have similar shaped bodies, but the bodies are not interchangable.


The Jaguar uses a 24 inch scale; the Jazzmaster uses a 25 1/2 inch scale (same as the Strat). So the frets will be closer together on the Jaguar. The bridges will be in different locations on the two bodies to accomodate the scale used. Both necks are a C profile and a 7 .25 inch radius fretboard.





The Jaguar has special single coil pickups designed for the Jaguar (they are different from Strat pickups). The Jazzmaster uses P-90 style single coil pickups.





The electronics are slightly different. The Jazzmaster uses a toggle switch pickup selector. The Jaguar uses off/on slide individual switches for the pickups.





And as I recall, the Jazzmaster is slightly heavier, but I do not have the weights for either of them.

Can I keep a Jaguar cichlid alone in a 75 Gallon Aquarium?

Can a single FEMALE jaguar cichlid live in a 75 gallon tank with excellent filtration? i know a male would grow to large but will a female be alright?


thanks!|||Yes, it will need a tank that big when full grown. Aquariumdomain.com agrees with me on the tank size. Somewhere along the line someone with an audience must have said they need 120 gallons because too many people repeat it like parrots.They get 14-16 inches long in captivity, which makes them a few inches bigger than Oscars, and almost everyone agrees that you can keep 1 Oscar in a 55 gallon tank. I'm not the last word but I've been around for a while and have actually only seen two that hit 15 inches in 30 years.



The homeaquarium.com allows 75 gallons for one pair. I think that's streching it a bit, but if they are a mated pair they tend to stay together and take up less room, but they would require a 120 gallon filter.



They do need fairly cool (75 degree) water and also like alkaline water- ph over 7 and close to 8.

What is the difference between the lion and the jaguar?

The lion has a mane but the jaguar has spots.|||They are entirely different species.





The lion (Panthera leo) is the second largest of the cats (after the tiger) weighing up to 550lb. The vast majority of lions live in Africa, though there is a small population of Asiatic lions in the Gir Forest of India. Lions are a uniform tawny colour, without markings (except in cubs, which have faint spots for camouflage. These fade as they age). They have a tuft at the end of the tail, and males have a thick mane of fur around the neck - this makes him appear larger and more intimidating to rivals, and more attractive to females, and protects his throat during fights. Lions are the only truly social cats, living in groups called prides.





Here is a pair of lions (female in front, male behind):


http://www.dimijianimages.com/Africa-pag鈥?/a>





Jaguars (Panthera onca) are the third largest of the cats, and are found in Central and South America. They are heavily built, with stocky legs and a broad head. The background colour of their coat is a deep gold, patterned with spots arranged in large, blotchy rosettes. Like all cats except the lion, they are solitary except for females with cubs - males and females come together only to mate, after which the male leaves the female to raise the young by herself.

How much more is parts for a Jaguar, Porsche and other luxury cars?

I'm looking at buying an old Jaguar or Lotus or something for my first car. I have enough saved up and have a couple in mind, but I don't want to be spending a fortune on parts and repair. I know they are more expensive to service, but about how much more compared to a Nissan, or other mid-class cars?


Thanks,


-Tony|||You don't need exact numbers to understandf that high end luxury car parts and service are just as expensive as the car was when it was new.





Compare the price of a Jaguar on the new car lot to a Nissan Maxima. Apply that same cost difference to the labor and parts prices for that car when it needs to be serviced. Used high end Euopean luxury cars are unreliable and expensive to maintain, it's just the way it is. They are also twice the price to insure.





There is a price to pay for entering into that luxury car "club". When they are new they are expensive to buy. When they are used they are unreliable and come with high maintenance costs.|||Call your local Firestone, or some other national service center. Ask them how much it is for a 4-wheel brake job (pads and rotors) on a 1999 Porsche 911. Then ask how much it is on a Nissan Maxima. You will be amazed at how much more it can be





When it comes to parts for higher-end cars, many chain stores do not stock them. You may not be able to walk into any Kragen and get an alternator for a Lotus Esprit. But you can get one for a Camry just about anywhere. Higher end parts are typically only through the dealer, and that means bigger $$|||think of ity like this higher the car price higher the cost to keep it running


more expensive car more expensive is the up keep|||Ask anyone who has owned a Jaguar and they'll tell you , you need two of them. One to drive while the other is in the shop. A brake job on a Porsche was over $600 in parts alone for a ten year old one twenty years ago. Porsche is a car that a lot of extended warranty people won't cover. I know nothing about Lotus other than their four cylinder engine was one of the best performers of that size. I do however know that a Japanese car executive said, "The day of the six cylinder car for us is over, we have four cylinders now that will out do the six on many levels."I'd consider the Genesis made in Korea and I saw a mid size four door at the LA auto show. I don't know about current availability on it. There is nothing luxurious about the Porsche, it is more about stiff riding spartan sports car than comfort. The Jaguar has been a disappointment for many even Ford themselves, as their banker's told them to dump them before they agreed to loan them money. (This is why Ford didn't need bail out money, they did it the old fashioned way by borrowing from this thing called a bank, whose concession was Volvo and Jaguar should have been dumped way long ago before we even had a conversation about it.) Lotus is way too small, come on. If you want sports luxury get a Mazda RX 7 or 8 or whatever it is. vastly superior to anything in that class. It seems you want British status, then get a Morgan.You really are all over the place here. You need to pick the car you can live with that's probably a Sports car with room Nissan Maxima has done a good job on that front. Japanese mechanics have told me Nissan's are crap. (Renault owns them) I'll bet you didn't know that Volkswagen, BMW, Bentley, and Rolls Royce are bedfellows now the latter having a BMW engine in some models. And if you didn't think they were big enough I'll let the cat out of the bag and say that they are negotiating with Porsche which has been starved for cash like forever, and if Audi is not all ready aboard they will be. Ford is going to be the only auto company left in the US that is what the Euro mega group alluded to. You can get Fords fixed cheaper than just about anything. If I were you I'd buy a four door Tesla for fifty grand, that's the grand car of the future being made today in the U.S. You can get a Shelby Mustang or even better the Ford GT. I knew a neighbor who was in a quandary on what to get in the early 70's. He got a Ford Pantera body Detomaso/Pinafarina power plant choice of four Ford V8s. Worked for him he still has it to this day. He was not pleased when shortly after receiving delivery for the car he hit a pot hole that dusted one of the Campanolo rims that cost over $2000 to replace one and his car was idled for months waiting for the single replacement rim (Never asked him about the spare.) I believe he paid $9000 for the car and the price of the rim was about as out of balance as the one that was destroyed.. I'll google the Ford Gt and see if it's under the average price of a modest house in So. Cal.

Can a pair of Convict Cichlids coexist with a Female Jaguar Cichlid?

Will they be able to live together in this tank as the female Jaguar cichlid grows to adulthood and when the convict cichlids are breeding? Is there enough room provided that the Jag wont kill the convicts and enough room so the convicts can breed without being overly disturbed by the female Jag?|||It's not the aggression, but the size difference. A female jag will get 18 to 20 inches. An adult convict isn't even a meal, it's a snack. Even if they get along great, all it would take is the jag getting hungry one day. Jaguar cichlids are predatory and adventurous eaters. Sorry, tank size can solve aggression issues, but only with somewhat comparably sized or at least herbivorous fish. It wouldn't work even in a tank twice that size.|||you can move the convicts on another tank because the Jaguar may disturbed there spawning.

What is the estimated time it will take to replace the rear rotors and pads on my 1982 Jaguar XJ6?

I have a 1982 XJ6 that needs new rear rotors and pads but this car has inboard rear brakes so I don't want to do it myself for fear of messing something up. I was wondering what the estimated time would be for a mechanic to replace the rear rotors and pads. I know it is a Jaguar so mechanics see $$$ when I ask for an estimate. I got an estimate from one place and they said with parts and labor it would be over $900 just for the rear! Someone please help me. Don't let me spend that kind of money! Thanks in advance.|||Doing the rear rotors is very tricky, but like anything else, becomes easier with experience. It's actuallyeasy enough to drop the axle, which will eliminate the access issues. It's going to take about twice the time as outboard brakes,whether you drop the axle or do it in place.





When you replace the rotors, try to find Brembo rotors. These have extra holes drilled in the hub area that allow you to pull the output shaft bearing out of the diff with the rotor in place. It may sound like another complication, but pulling out the rotor, caliper and output shaft all at once makes the job easier.





Thinking about it, find a shop to do this job.|||MY brother works for a jag dealer, He can do the rear breaks on the older jags in about an hour (thats with the Reconditioning of the rotors) I think that price is a little high. I would take it to a dealership. Get a quote form them and then 2 other independent shops that have worked with Jags before. I would avoid a shop that has not worked on jags. I only take jags in because my brother is willing to do the work on them when I bring them to him or call him. I myself have never touched one. but I would definatly get some more quotes. That sounds high to me. I seem to think the cost for the rear brakes should be around 400 to 500. Still expensive but thats better then a grand.

In a month/Year?|||What size tank do you have. Smaller than you need if your asking this question. Jags grow fast, on par with most other cichlids except for oscars. They will grow to about 9-12 inchs in a year depending on how much you feed them and how big a space you are keeping them in. They are VERY aggressive and will kill each other as well as other tank mates if kept in a small tank.

What are good pickups to put in a MIJ Jaguar HH electric guitar?

Thoughts?|||Im a huge Seymour Ducan fan. I would recommend them first and then DiMarzios. You can go onto Seymour Duncans site and they have a portion where they give all the pickups played clean or dirty in the neck or bridge position.

How to install a DiMarzio humbucker into a Jaguar Special HH?

Hi. I need profession guitar tech help. I have a Fender Jaguar Special HH with the original switching, and I want to install a DiMarzio Super Distortion (4-conductor) in the bridge. I want to keep the original switching, so I need a color-coded wiring diagram to show how. Or is there a better way? Please help me out|||The schematics for all Fenders guitars and their proper wiring can be found on their website. If I remember correctly, last I used it, it was black and white. You can keep the original switching by wiring in the new pickup the same as the old one was. Just keep in mind that both Fender and DiMarzio use different color codes on their pickups. DiMarzio's come with a little pamphlet that tells you the color codes and a few options for setting up the pickups in coil taps, reverse phase, etc. If you don't have that pamphlet, you can go on their website to decode the colors if you don't have a multimeter.


Installing a different brand of pickups requires a bit of understanding of which wire goes to where. Also, I hope you got a standard size pickup rather than an F spaced.

Sold new for like $70-80k, now list for about $15k - talk about money out the tailpipe.|||1984 Jaguar XJ6 Series III

What are the physical differences between the cheetah and the jaguar?

If you were to look at cheetah print and jaguar print, how could you tell them apart?|||The jaguar (Panthera onca) is found in South and Central America. It is the third largest of all cats, after the tiger and lion, and can weigh up to 350lb. It is heavily-built and muscular, with stocky legs, a shorter tail than the cheetah and a broad head.

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is found in Africa, with a small relict population in Iran. It is the fastest-running animal on Earth, and its whole body is designed for speed - it is slender and lightly-built, with long legs, a small rounded head, and a long tail. Its claws are only partially retractile, to help it grip the ground whilst running at high speed. It is tawny in colour, patterned with small, solid black spots, and has distinctive 'tear-marks' on the face - black lines running from the inner corner of each eye to the corner of the mouth. This is a cheetah:
