2006 S-Type V8 from Dubai
Hi nice to meet you all.
The owner of my company recently gave me his hand-me-down 2006 S-Type with the 4.2 litter V8 with 50K mileage as a bonus for closing a big deal. The car has been his since new and dealer maintained and is in mint condition.
I have never owned a Jag before and must admit I really have grown fond of the car. With the V8 it is really a wolf in sheep's clothing. I am here to look for advice on:
1.) Buying a new set of springs to get rid of the tail sink and firm up the ride 2.) New Exhaust mufflers to give it a bit more throaty call
I have a 90-minute/60K commute daily in Dubai and honestly, plan to drive the wheels off this in 1-2 years so looking for other inexpensive and easy mods I can do. I also need to find a service garage in Dubai.
