난이도 & 준비물

증상

As you may have guessed from my username, I'm a V8 fan. Unfortunately it's been a decade since I've owned one, and it was time to rectify that! I had considered buying a Jag S Type R about 15 years ago, but the auto box put me off so I ended up with a Vauxhall Monaro instead, which I enjoyed immensely. Fast forward to earlier this year and I was considering something interesting to act as a grand tourer for a few road trips and I instantly thought of the Jag again.I spent far too long browsing Autotrader, Ebay and Pistonheads, and discovered values varied from £5k for a ropey one up to £25k

Thanks for the comments!I'm going to have to get used to seeing this, but it still makes me wince. This is by far my most expensive car to fill up!The car is missing a few mod cons, that I knew may need addressing. Firstly, the screen/stereo is very out-dated and there is no bluetooth connectivity (even if factory fitted it would only be for calls). Before buying the car I investigated options, and there is a company that will convert the original setup to android auto, which was a tempting prospect. However, the previous owner included a bluetooth FM transmitter so I decided to give that a go first, and I've actually been quite impressed. The sound quality isn't amazing, but the signal holds really well - which has not been my experience in the past with these devices. Plus my phone fits perfectly on a magnetic mount in the centre vent for maps. And I've also dug out some old CDs for the 6 disc changer in the boot, plus the single slot in the dash. If it was daily driver this might become tiresome, but for high days and holidays I think it'll be OK.One thing that needed resolving was lack of a couple of important features in the back where the teenager sits - no cupholders and no USB connections. First world problems indeed! My car came with, what I think, is a rare option of ski hatch/bag behind the rear armrest. This provides access from the boot and a fold-out bag that your skis could slide into without making the interior dirty. I don't ski, but I do like the idea of having access to the boot. Initial thought was to forcibly remove the ski bag with a stanley knife, but it seems a shame to lose the ability to refit. Fortunately I managed to remove it and carefully unclip the bag, which left me with free access to the boot:There's a hatch boot-side and seat-side, along with a leather panel seat-side which covers it up. With this sorted I could then install my new back seat features. The battery is in the boot, so I fitted a fused CTEK charger lead
