  1. Hello all, I hope I'm not re-opening an exiting thread. I bought a 2010 XK-R during the summer from a premium car specialist. Not a Jaguar specialist or franchise. Now I've had a few months to live with it, I want to do so a couple of improvements. I have B&W speakers and what looks to be the standard 2010 spec ICE, sat nav, etc. There's a button for DAB, but it doesn't do anything so I assume it was an option that wasn't fitted. I haven't taken the dash-board to bits, but I'm guessing there could be a DAB module that plugs into the back of the existing ICE. From searches, it appears that there were a number of option packs available, and unfortunately mine didn't have premium sound. It does have a connection for an old iPod (I found one stuffed in a drawer that still works. Has anyone upgraded theirs?
  2. Did thread go anywhere or was this the only post? I bought a 2010 XKR during the summer (2021). I've just come back from a weekend down south to visit family on the 1st bad weekend of the winter. To cut a long-story short; I hadn't engaged winter mode on the gearbox, and some slushy snow on the run into Sheffield caught me out at 40/50mph. A pretty spectacular and thankfully damage & injury free tank-!Removed!!! I've had a selection of reasonably high performance cars over the years (MB E350 AMG, ML350, Renault Megane R26, etc), but this is my big Jag1 and even in the dry, it's a bit of handful. On my previous cars, I have fitted winters, sometimes on smaller alloys, other times not. I typically put them on anywhere from end October to beginning of December and take of in March. Yokohamas and Contis have been the best for me. My problem at the moment is actually finding any in the recommended size for 20" alloys. I'm not sure if it's worth or even possible to fit 18" or 19" wheels as the space between the rim and the brake calipers is limited. I'm interested to hear your experience. Or should I just put Jezza (the Jag) under a cover for the winter.
