Thanks all.

I'm trying to get use to driving it. The R is a lot different the my old XK. Both were the 5L but this R is quick. The back end is very twitchy on these damp roads.

That looks great. I keep looking at earlier XKR's but the wife keeps saying no!

Nice one!

BTW in the wet/rain or cold, stick the snow mode on the TC. Makes the car much more pleasant to drive without impeding on the fun too much!

Fuse 19 is your first job...

Whats does fuse 19 do ?

its a subtle change, in a coupe its probably not warranted as you wont hear the benefit as much. I got tired of the nothing nothing wham wham wham then silent. It just makes the noise there from the start without any of that engineered bmw/lambo nonsense to it.

Don't be ashamed of snow mode, its on exclusively now and makes the driving experience much less 10p 50p 10p if you are having fun.

I fitted the quad rear box from an XKR to my 2010 XK convertible. I could hear that OK. So much so, I only closed the values down to three quarters open.

I will try the snow mode.
