Glad, you finally made your mind up lol
Sunroofs are cool items but sometimes they might be problematic too .
For inst: My '93's sunroof developed some rusts all around.

The rear ABS sensors bolt in each rear hub carrier. There're the only electrical pieces on there. A good cleaning may do the trick. Also, check the wire and connector for bare spots or debris.

Either we will get a used sunroof or buy it as new . Scraping the frames wouldn't work [&:]lol

Correct. They are in about the same location as the rears. They come in from the back and top and are the only electrical pieces down there.

I have been driving my X300 for the last weeks, and also friends MB ML and a few other cars. My XJ40 -93has been left aside under a tree... well, I went out yesterday and tried to start the poor thing and there was neve any doubt, she fired up at the first try. The first few miles felt a litle... how sould I put it, the XJ40 felt old and used. The X300 is a more smooth ride, the soundsystem is better the supercharged preformance is better etc. But then, after a few miles, I started to feel more comfortable and after an hour of driving I dident want to stop, the XJ40 is an amazing car. I might sell my XJR, I might sell my apartment, but I will never ever sell my XJ40 -93. I phoned a friend of mine who has an XJ40 XJR, a XJS, XJ8 and a E-type and he agreed, there is something special about the XJ40.

XjJagXjJeepDriver; I think you are doing the right thing sticking with a car that you like!
