Default Hi all, I'm not a Jag owner but ...

I drive a Range Rover Supercharged (2007) so it has the Jag engine and other JLR bits and bobs that the cars share. I've seen some great engine mods on this site so I joined to get a bit more involved.

I do like off-roading in my car, but I also like it to be suprisingly fast (to me, the mrs and others). So far I've put on a Mina intake, changed the supercharger pulleys, change the spark plug types (2 steps colder) and had a custom exhaust and sports cats put on it.

I'm still investigating upgraded intercoolers and radiators, but at the moment my intake temperatures are reasonably low so not really bothered changing them yet.

Hopefully having a car that shares Jag DNA means I'm not a complete outsider!

Thanks for the warm welcome all. I've actually just rebuilt my compressor myself and I'm trying to avoid changing the airbags for as long as possible!

Does the Range Rover have a known Restraint System issue or are you just wanting to avoid going anywhere near all the associated sensors and harness connections unless absolutely necessary?
