Yup, it's driving properly again with all the toys working.
I still need to strip the driver's seat down & find the wobble that makes the backrest point left as that's uncomfy though. I might get the seat out this week/weekend & start that while the weather is good & we're under house arrest.

Should have got the seat out before you fitted the switch!

Difficult to test drive it that way though.. the fault used to occur after about 2 miles.

I'm not allowed near it, the bacteria in the milk is anti-socially distancing.

Buy one then, I can't see them getting any cheaper. 20-25 years old seems about bottom of the curve for old Jags.

I know. I remember looking a few years ago and thought they were cheap then! I’m a bit scared of them going wrong. There’s plenty of nails out there when I look.

So far, it's not been any more complicated than the normally aspirated ones. Well except the electronic suspension & that's only cost more in parts, the work wasn't any more difficult.

Should make it into a 415bhp / 440lb/ft engine, roughly. Localish place too, only an hour or so away.
