F Type - First Mod

Have you fitted the steering wheel yet?

Wheel is fitted, but as with any project looks like a bit of tinkering is required. Seems that although almost identical not all the touch controls work. Thankfully for now the flappies (and speed ironically speed limiter) do. Also heated so a change of slip ring and should be able to get that working for Winter

This gets delivered tomorrow and will be a longer term project. Of course it's a bumper (or a corpse),
Any guesses what this might be off?

OK - no teasing - from an SVR that I assume the owner ran out of talent after 3 months of driving it:

Good luck with getting the wheel all up and working correctly :thumbsup:

The bumper looks great, your not hanging around on the modding. The F type is a stunning car, can see one in my future but I'll have to wait for the prices to drop some what.
 
Well after a bit of jiggling the wheel is now working. Required the electronics of the original to be fitted in the centre hub of the new (perhaps due to a change in electronics??). Later project will be to connect the heating function if I decide I want it and can source the slip ring and any extra loom
Looks and feels the business

Beedub - Found this interesting exploded photo of the engine with supercharger

On the Z, you would just have the airbag light on after that project - you have all the lights on now :poke:

Looking good though, I have never had heated steering but my son has it and he loves it.
 
Very smart looking car, will you be getting a trilby to go with the Jag and do we call you Arthur from now on. :wink:

You will not wait that long, seen base cars under 30k now. I love the car but like most Jags money just falls away
 
The cheapest base car on Autotrader is £32.5, Ebay £35k (S model start at just under £40k)
Considering they cost £50k new then (and just over that now) 35% depreciation after 3.5 years is not all bad. Check that against any other high priced car
