I agree, personally If I did one i'd do it myself.  Take it off the road, buy a shagger and make sure everythign is done correctly and not rushed.

I'm used to the power of the XE since Jan now, but it still brings a massive smile to my face when I boot it!   
 
I don't find it costs me a lot to run it, it's as good on petrol as my 1.4 was. 
 
I'm now aiming to stiffen the car up as it is quick in a straight line, but not so good around corners...

All I could see in the car was a beaming smile when driving home
