Cosmo, you can unplug the antenna at the back. Just be careful as they sometimes are very brittle and you might want to plug it back in at some point.
You didn't say if yours is a convertible, there are a lot of wires behind that panel and some go to the top pump, they are ready fragile, not a place for the ham fisted.

Will that cut off radio reception? I normally just have XM radio. It would be great if I didn't it. Yes, I do have convertible. I have a lot of maintenance ahead of me this coming month. The car is being delivered on Saturday from out of state. I am hoping for the best. What a wonderful forum. Its a real comfort. I feel I am not alone in the days that lay ahead

I know about three months in I thought about throwing in the towel and selling it, I'm so happy I didn't. Now that all the little nit picky stuff is repaired I would not trade it for any thing, well maybe but it would have to be something really, really special.

Just to plug the switch mod I listed earlier. It allows you to get strong stations with the antenna down, or put the antenna up as needed. I listen to radio maybe 1% of the time, but being able to just flick a switch and have the "alien beacon" rise into place, is very nice. Pick the right switch and it can almost look stock.

Help !! 2003 Jaguar XK8 Valve Body
As most of you know by now I just purchased a my Jaguar about a month ago. I took it in for repairs and came out with a 1,700 bill which took care of a lot of things that needed to be done. So.... now I am thinking I am about ready to enjoy the weekend and my convertible. However, although the transmission has been rebuilt it was adjusting itself when I came to a stop and sort of surged a little. The mechanic who did the original repairs thought it might be just a clogged filter, a pan , and some new transmission fluid. I took my car to AAMCO because they are the ones who did the rebuild about 35k miles ago. They said it is the "Valve body " which controls all the computer functions and they would give me a break on price. The price is $ 3,350 !!!! I don't have that much cash or credit after paying cash for the car, having it shipped from another state and then have the $1700 repairs done. What do you guys think ? I never even heard of a Valve Body before now. They said if I continued to drive the car which I REALLY have not had a chance to do yet it would damage my transmission. It shifts O.K. Its just when it come to a stop that it acts up. THANK YOU
