The speed limit is irrelevant. The figure to use is the top speed of the vehicle. If it cannot reach that top speed without this noise, the vehicle is obviously faulty.
The garage has no right to use the speed limit as an excuse.
In addition to trading standards I suggest you contact the dealer principle, and also give Jaguar UK a call. I had similar issues a few years back with an Audi TT and once I'd made a call to Audi UK the dealer were off like a rocket dealing with the problems.0 -

Not sure why you stopped the payments? Maybe this is why they never bothered to find any faults?
On a slightly more helpful note - maybe try another Jag dealership...?0 -
