Hi All,
Need to get a car from Newcastle to the Blue Mountains. Anyone know a good, cheap towie? It's a Jaguar XJS Coupe', so around 2 tons. Cheers Bonn

Thanks Blem, have owned it since '99 (it's an '89 model) and had put nearly 300,000 reliable kms on the V12, as a daily driver plus holidays etc.
Foolishly ignored some slight overheating in Singleton, 5 years ago 47C ambient. Dropped a valve seat, replaced the donk with a low km S/C 4.0 I6, from a later XJR ex-Japan, brand new Eaton Blower etc. Usual Jag guy struggled with the support from Wolf, sent to a dyno shop to sort - same result, but got it going and has sat for a couple of years since. Will probably replace Wolf with Altech and put Wolf on eBay. My local dyno shop is a wizard with Altech, so am resigned to playing safe and getting a result
