Hi All.
Hello from sunny Muscat,
I have a 2009 XKR convertible (4.2) that I bought from someone who decided it was too expensive to fix - it has a number of aesthetic issues that I planned to fix.. but now I am dealing mainly with mechanical issues.
First off the convertible top is broken - possibly my fault, as my son kept asking me to put it up / down, and I think I fried one of the regulators. I have a new one to fit (its on my list).
Whilst preparing to fix the roof, the EPB broke, and the car was stuck asking for me to do the brake setup . I drove the car for 2 months with the warning beep going while the part came into stock.
I also need to refurb the wheels - paint peeling.
The soft top is a little worse for wair... and pretty much ALL of the suspension rubber is cracked. I also need to get the dashboard recovered as it is completely dried up.
Also lots of cracked trim inside - dashboard, gear selector etc.
I have changed the plugs, EPB, fixed a vacuum leak (or not), checked supercharger oil, changed the filters, and changed the engine mounts.
I bought it for under 4500 UK - so not expensive.
It has 120K KM on it.

Welcome to the forums MuscatCat,
Good to have you with us.
I can see you've already found your way to the X150 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the Other Areas Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/other-areas-43/ to find other members in your part of the World.
Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham
