    :cry: I have several scratches on the glove box of my dash. I have tan interior and have tried matching shoe polish and several cleaners with no results. Appears the tan finish on the glove box has chipped off and a clear/white color under neath.

    Any suggestions ???

    Here's a set of 4 on eBay:

    Alloy Wheels X Type 16"

    Looks like they are in good shape, w/ center caps.

I have heard that JAG's often have problems, but the S10, though useful, offers no driving pleasure and only seats 2.5 people.

    i would like to buy a second hand jag xtype 02-04 .
    but i notice most of them DON,T HAVE in built Navigation system from the manufactures.
    1. can i install a Navigation system into this yre (02-04) Jags/ i.e remove the present radio unit and fix a navigation touch screen console ?

    2. which year xType would be suitable to install a Navigation system?

    3. can i install the xj navigation into a 02-04 yre xtpye jag?

    Yes, I looked into doing the same. You can even find them used on e-Bay... However you will have to have it installed by the dealer.... most independent mechanics don't have the computer equipment nessasary for the Jag.... and Jag will not install a used unit (at the least will not guarantee it will work or cover it with any type of warranty). Going directly to the dealer will cost a couple thousand dollars (my quote - $2,400.00). I opted for the aftermarket navigation. You can find a few.... that a good install shop can mount into your dash ( I ended up with the one simply plugged int the lighter, not what I wanted). I did the same with the hands free phone...I was able to have it installed to my satisfaction.... it worked best having an additional speaker installed rather than going through the radio .

    thanks daxdad for the advice. yap most dealers wouldn,t waste there time in fixing secondhand units. what about if i get an entire working Nav unit removed from a jag xj X308 (1997–2003) or X350 (2003-2007) they all seem to have a Nav unit. do you think the deminsion of the xj Nav console can fit into a Xtpye dash board panel. are the radio console dimensions of the XJ and the x-type similar? they look similar.
