Hope it's not too much of a money pit to soon :'(.  Jag needs suspension, Gps antenna fixing and stupid pedestrian crash sensors doing.  Oh and a new set of alloys.  Blown most of that jag fix up money on the X5.  Had planned 04 diesel high mileage.  However another extra 2k later and have ended up with the 4.8 :)  just need to sell the Honda and smart.  Poor jag will just have to wait to be treated. 

Will see how I get on with the suspension, once u have driven a for four brabus u know the real meaning of rock hard suspension.  It's almost back breaking with alloys like Swiss cheese.  Fun though.

Will do pics once I done the first few bits.  Think my side steps have red leds in them.  Hope it won't be like a fairground ride in the dark :))

thanks to everyone so far have a feeling will be calling on a few experts on here.  Hope to meet and see some of you and your car's one day.

Just put the Jag under wraps somewhere Violet and forget about it for a while [emoji4]
I know what you mean about Smarts, though, we have a For Two Brabus as a Toad for our m/home and its a bit like I imagine a motorised wheelbarrow would feel suspension wise!  Not my favourite ride, but nice to nip into crowded towns and cities or use when away in the m/home.

Oh dear about the leds in the side steps, but I am sure you could disable those and keep the steps - much better without!    Looking forward to hearing how you get on, it'll all be a doddle compared to keeping an ageing Jag in good order!
