Hi.

I've just bought my second Jag, a '98 XJR advertised as having no history. A bit of research before handing over the cash however found it did. I rang Stratstone Manc and had a copy sent through. Feel pretty happy with the deal tbh.

Anyway, new w/pump + front belts bought and will fit this week beforesending it off to get a 100k service (and stamp in the book). Planning head unit swap with a dock for my phone. Will need to be a custom build. This has Sat Nav on it (Google Maps for Android) and a micro usb connection. I want DAB and bluetooth. Probably put the DAB aerial in the spot where the knacked std one is.

Has a touch of tin worm, which I'll have sorted as I can't do bodywork myself very well. Looking to upgrade to Paramount ECU and will make a pulley. Might even wrap it in matt black. I am an odd kind of purist with classic cars in that if I buy a std car, I'll keep itthat way, but if it's been modded by someone else, then game-on. Minis mainly. This Jag is still almost current, and sensitive aftermarket mods, sympathetic to Grace, Space and Pace are fine by me.

Cheers,

Doug.
