Congrats on the car. And snap!! I have a 2017 SVR in ammonite grey with CCB brakes. Bought in 2019 and been excellent! I have red leather inside
Yours is v low miles. Hard to believe it's anything that serious. Get it a thorough service and take it from there
You'll get lots of views on what to do and not to do. My 2c. I would not do anything to transmission unless it's leaking (v unlikely). 14k is way too early to change it. I got my old XF to 100k miles without changing it - dealer actually said not to as they didn't want to cause issues where there were none. I've had 3 land rovers with the ZF transmission to 100k miles and likewise never flushed. My SVR is 28k miles and also never flushed
Lots of views in the cooling system. And plastic does age and break. But - yours prob hasn't had a lot of heat cycles at that mileage. So I would personally leave it as is unless it's leaking
Would definitely do regular servicing stuff. Oil change, would do brake fluid too unless you know when it was last done and within 3 yrs.

Hey thanks for your post! - It's got some of the carbon fiber parts, but it's missing the hood louvers and the mirrors (I've been looking for places to try to get those parts!).
I personally do not like the P-Zeros, not one bit... besides, it looked like this car still had the original set of tires mounted!. So I had the dealer get rid of those and put a set of Michelin PS 4S 👍🏽. And I couldn't agree with you more.... Tires can make such a tremendous difference, to the point that they can make or 'break' a vehicle. I learned that lesson on motorcycles - On a street bike the difference in tires/compounds become is much more noticeable. Ever since I've defaulted to spending a bit extra to get good rubbers. Conti tires are a close 2nd.
- As far as those water lines you mentioned... Do you have some more details - as far as when that should be done? And potentially a $ estimate? I may want to have that done all at once.
- On the android auto thing... I believe this supposedly has some sort of (Wired) Android auto? I tried once, didn't work, haven't messed with it any more. Are you talking about a 3rd party thing?
Thank you!

I've read through and seen some of the videos on this and to replace them all, yoou have to pull the supercharger. Some times, it's a real bear to get that off. I have not yet replaced mine and when I do, I'm going to have my independent shop take care of it. I'll do a lot of work on a car myself, but this one scares me.
As for the Android Auto, mine takes over the factory Nav system, so I access it by just hitting the Nav button. I connect via Bluetooth, so I'm actually connected to the Jaguar Bluetooth and the UAD unit. I can also connect via a USB dongle, but I only ever did that when I first installed it.
