My other car just happens to be a Jag.  Need a key made?  Forget about any
hardware store, locksmith, etc...
Only place I found was the dealer, $20 per key.  Starter relay, FLAPS sell ones
for your GM, FOrd, etc..
for $12,  Jag special order  $80.  Makes parts for my 1980 westy almost appear
cheap.
