Hi All - my roof lining has started to sag (I understand a common problem
due to the foam drying out and crumbling causing the lining to drop away) -
Can anyone reccomend a good place to get a new one or is this a dealer job?

Also how easy is it to fit this myself or again is a dealer the best
bet.......

Many thanks.

Various places sell replacement boards which cost less than the
outrageous price which Jaguar charge for the low quality, genuine
article. Do an Internet search.

It's quite easy to man-handle the board out of the car but a challenge
to prevent complete disintegration. Some Jag owners have written up
guides on how the boards can be refurbished.
