Cool Newb ...

Bought a 2005 x-type in 2008, to reward myself for the birth of my daughter

3.0, White

Major issues:
Previous owner had the windshield replaced which was done improperly and during a heavy rain the car stopped running. Had it towed to a Jag dealer to find out the main computer was soaked in water and had shorted out. Insurance replaced it new for me. No issues after that.

Minor issues:
-One of my OEM wheels had a minute crack - tire would go flat. Replaced it with a refurbished match
- lost a center cap somewhere in my travels. Bought what I though would work of ebay only to find they were cheap junk. Still looking!
- cigarette lighter stopped working - can't charge cell/GPS/etc. would like to rectify this issue.
- front interior post fabric is peeling.

So I'm here for advise and help on the above!
