Greetings all. Long time cat admirer, first time driver. Love the site and have already saved thousands on maintanence, trouble shooting, and parts for my '04 XJR.

I picked up the '04 XJR from an independent dealer in Minneapolis. Couple of quick updates including a supercharger pulley change, cold-air intake, and some Frozen Rotors with ceramic pads up front. Wish list is a mile long but plan to change out the exhaust in spring and upgrade the wheels and tires after the snow melts up here.

Working with a great mechanic in Minneapolis, he's a Jag driver himself and seems to be the go to for her Majesty's manufacturers.

I'll get some pics up soon.

That's very true. Had to move around modification priorities so that VALENTINE ONE is now the next thing to add. Passport radar is midnblowingly ineffective. The bright side is that I've met a number of very nice police officers from a wide variety of jurisdictions lately

Nice to have a great mechanic in Minneapolis, nothing beats a guy who is a mechanic and a Jag Driver.......now all I need to do is find one in Detroit.
Cheers

welcome aboard varefugee
XKR is a nice motor and sounds like you plan to do lots to her, and have already spent more than a few $$$
As we say here in Glasgow...."Wotchooterrapolis"

varefugee, I'm looking for a good mechanic in/around Minneapolis to throw a new motor in my 2000 s-type. Would you recommend yours?
