Just trying to get some ideas for this jag, it's my first so I want to do it right like my camaro and civic, make it look nice, run good, and sound good. So far off to a good start, only minor things had to be replaced and fixed. One thing that attracted me to this car was the color and since my camaro was totaled I've had my custom "Mad Cat" license plate laying around needing a new car to call home. So then the idea hit me and now I have a 2002 Jaguar X-Type 3.0L, so far car drive great, haven't had it a week though so time will tell on how much it's going to cost me to get it up to my standards. Right now I still have an ABS light on and Trunk Lid open light on. As far as it missing half the speakers from the premium audio system, not to worried about that, because I'll be putting in a custom audio system that not crazy over kill. So being a newb to these cars is there anything I should put on my list to go ahead and get fixed, or maintenanced too make sure this car keeps running good?

Thanks for all the welcomes! Yes soon enough I will be posting pics of my car. First have to spend this weekend fixing it, lol you know you've found your car when it wants to spend time with you on a weekend. Went from a ABS light to, no cruise light (yea looked up and found this is normal with engine probs), then to over heat (not slow either, it just like 2 seconds maxed out), then car just dies. Shut it off and starts right back up, after driving another 10mins does exact something. So this is going to be interesting, also managed to find ALOT of previous custom stereo wiring in the car, so I'm sure someone has screwed up something since jag's seem to be very unforgiving to custom audio (unless done correctly). But anywho, I'll update you guys this weekend and let you know what I find! if anyone has any tips, I'm open to them.

 

welcome!
