Hi Dan Thanks for that I will get myself onto Amazon and get one on its way to Sheffield toute suite! I'll PM you about the bluetooth. Bezza

Many thanks Peter, I'm sure I will enjoy things here. Regards Bezza

Love the cigarette lighter, can I ask where you got it from and if so how much? With regards to your bluetooth issue I could point you in the direction of some information that may well solve any problems but I'm not sure of the attitude towards posting links to other Jaguar sites- being a newbie I don't want to cause offence.

Hi Macc If you're going to take a peek at the wiring just a tip. When they were assembled at he factory, the looms were put into the cars and any unused plug connectors were usually wrapped in foam and then pushed through holes in the bulkhead to put them out of the way for the next stage of assembly. What you will be looking for (assuming that it has never been touched since the factory) is a fairly thick (about 12 wires +-) going off the main loom into a bulkhead gap if you pull that out of the gap, remove the foam you should have a multi-pin plug connector (can't remember the colour) it may well be even marked with a white factory label saying CD Changer. If you've got that you're in business. Your car being a Sovereign, I'd be very surprised if it hasn't got it. From the description of your mounting cage, you are sorted on that score. If you give me 20 minutes or so I will PM you on what parts are needed and prices. Bezza

Hi You say that you have a Sovereign, I take it that is has a factory fitted sat nav & phone in the boot? If so with some trimming you don't have to replace the carpet but it would be an idea if you had a template to go off. There should be enough room in the rack to accommodate the CD player but if not you will need to replace the rack for a taller one. Being a sovereign, loom wise, it should have everything there ready to plug in but possibly it might need a trip to your local Indy to reprogramme just to tell the brain that it has now got a CD changer fitted. The only other thing is that the D2B fibre optic cable loop will have to be extended to include the CD changer, slightly fiddly but not too difficult. I have all the parts you may require including the CD changer. I see that you are not a million miles away from where I live in Sheffield. I don't want to seem like I am just touting for business on my first post but I can help you or am also happy just to offer advice if required. Regards Bezza

Just joined the forum so just wanted to say hello to everyone. I'm a member of other forums but must admit I didn't know about this forum until I accidentally found it doing a Google search! Anyway I live in Sheffield, South Yorkshire and I'm on my second X type. I previously owned a 3.0 litre Sport saloon and have recently changed to a 54 plate 2.5 SE Estate in midnight black, which I'll try to load up some photos of when I get chance. I've been an X type owner for nearly 3 years now and to be honest I'm a great fan- you get a lot of car for your buck. Well that's all and I look forward to contributing where I can and learning even more from other members. Best regards Bezza
