My 2002 s-type is as stock as a car gets. I'm looking for ideas to improve the car. Other than standard maintenance items, how would you answer the question;

The one thing i would do to my S-type is?...

 

Well, there are lots of little "improvements" I have lined up. My next project is to install extra accent lighting as in the new XJ. I have just ordered four 300mm 15 LED SMD strips in Amber (to match centre console down lighter) which I am going to mount Under the footwell kick plates, front and rear (with LEDs poking through tiny holes). These will come on with instrument lights and give a low Amber glow up the door cards and side of the seats.
I've already experimented with LEDs, tape and a battery, and the effect is subtle and low key.
Then there are extra LED boot (trunk) lights, LED puddle lights in the base of the door mirrors.
I know, I know, this sounds a bit "chavish" but it will be very subtle, promise.

 

Make it run on 87 octane and get 40mpg.

 

LOL! 10-4 on that one bodyman.

 

Good one!!!

 

A big honkin' ashtray.

What is a Jaguar without any allowance for big cigars?

 

So terrible 0-60 and dire top speed? No thanks. Or forget the octane and go diesel. (Not me.)

Seriously, just don't buy a jag.

 

Upgrade the exhaust system. I did this to mine and it changed my Jag from a purr into a GROWL!

 

Seriously John wheres your sense of humor?


Drive it more than when the talking gas gauge starts on me!

 

Right now I'd settle for a proper wash & wax.. it's been too rainy or cold.

 

Let ME instead of some misguided module control the heated seats!

Take care,

George

 

This is my naught to 60 car.

 

Move the cup holders to someplace where I can rest my full arm and stow my cup of Timmy's at the same time.
