Service RatingTook 5 attempts to find the supercharger gasket leak, even though it was confirmed the engine was running lean (too much air) thus setting off the restricted performance warning light, by which time my warranty had elapsed, even though it was reported under warranty. The main dealer said it was another new fault that was reported outside of warranty. I nearly took it up with Jaguar Head Office - I was so angry. I could understand it being difficult to pinpoint, I just didn't like being lied to and charged for it.
