Default New member Grand Rapids, Michigan with -97 XJR, 43 K miles.

Hello everybody.
I just bought XJR -97, and I have posted few questions already.
So I thought might be good to introduce myself.
I'm from Finland, but live in MI now. I use to ship older Jaguars from 50's and 60's to Finland, and me and my brother had a restoration shop. We still have -57 XK 140 MC roadster, that we bought I think -88 from Boston. Also we have XKE V12 project, that some day hopefully turns in to a Bob Tullius replica racer. I try to post pictures later.
I have not been working with cars for long time, and never with newer stuff. This my first newer Jaguar.
I got answers for quite a few things, and thank you for that.
The following things I'm trying to work right now:
The sagging headliner behind sunroof.
Keyless entry does not work, even I'm right next to the car pointing allover.
I did change the batteries, tried to clean and bend the contacts little bit with no success.
Thank you, and have a great day.

Welcome to the site. My brother Joel is also from Grand Rapida so I get out there every once in a while (usually when he has some architectural design or construction work on his home)
