Hi Peter, yeah I thought because mine is the XS all of the looms and such would already be installed and everything would be plug and play. It's just not that simple unfortunately.
Right now I'm looking at a nice XF (2010 3.0 TD S Premium Luxury) which has all the bells and whistles already installed for £6k. Going for a jag again because I just feel like they're a nice place to be inside, I don't need super sports drifting round corners. I just want to not have pot holes jerk my back and a nice interior. It also seems that the XF is more economical, even though it's a 3.0L it's reported as getting around 30 mpg whereas the 2.7L S-Type I have at the minute is averaging 19 mpg and thats without using Sport mode. Would be nice to get a few more miles between fill ups heh.
Well done on paying off your mortgage! That's the dream, nice car, paid off mortgage, family and a secure job. lol
