    Was that a new episode I saw last night?
    Jaguar XJC

    Ridiculously mint when purchased, all they did was fit a new water pump bearing and electronic ignition and changed the exhaust

    There were a few other small niggles with it, the steering wheel being the most obvious, and the battery cooler, probably not something most would bother with.

    basicly a quick flip, bought from a trader, fixed cheap, small 'profit'

    Very poor show on the xjc, edd finally copping on.

    Ceramic coated manifolds , what a load of superfluous cobblers .

    fact is they could have made more "profit" leaving the exhaust alone (just fixing the manifold) and ignoring things like the battery cooler which most buyers wouldn't even notice.

    Poor episode....in contrast car SOS episode I saw night before did a very derelict Rover P5B and was very interesting.

    The highlight was edd's induction heater, I wants me one of them

    I agree on the exhaust, but the battery cooler is what makes the show interesting
