The world recently found itself enthralled with the spectacle of the royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Jaguar had the pleasure of taking part in the day's ceremonies.

The drummer for Iron Maiden, McBrain bought his first Jaguar in 1987 and has remained a fan of the brand ever since.

Without a donut tire, you may be stranded on the road.

As durable an exhaust system may be, the components don't last forever. Several mechanical woes contribute to the need to replace an exhaust system. An exhaust leak definitely is something to be vigilant about.

Looking at the exhaust manifold may reveal obvious leaks. The gaskets, in particular, could be leaking. Don't limit yourself to gaskets, though. When making a visual inspection, look at the entire exhaust system. Pay particular attention to the gaskets. Unfortunately, without a garage's vehicle lift, making a proper inspection becomes difficult.

Synthetic oil is a chemically-modified compound that, once used to grease your vehicle, provides benefits such as better performance, increased longevity, as well as gas-saving perks. It was developed by scientists who were looking to utilize no petroleum-based sources.

If you have ever wondered where the term horsepower came from it came from the 18th century. James Watt was a man who sold steam engines and wanted to relay how much power his engines could put out. He compared them to the power of a horse, and the term horsepower was born.

One horsepower is the same as a pony pulling 33 pounds for one minute. The more horsepower the better because it means that it has a lot more power and the ability to do more such as in your vehicle.
