Just registered. Own -rather it owns me - 1989 XJ6, Severin Blue, 118000miles. Currently residing San Juan Island, WA state. Recent issue with the wiper motor not parking resolved from this forum - seems like corroded connections interior of motor drive at park switch. Removed and reinserted connectors on park switch and voila, wipers parked. Several times, in fact. Hope all my remaining issues are this easy.

 

Welcome. Cant imagine how you would get corrosion in a rain forest. I bet its beautiful though.

 

Welcome.

 

Only the most perceptive would admit it, but we're ALL owned by our Jaguars!

welcome to the forum - enjoy!!

 

Wow!! Thanks for making me feel welcome on this site and for the advice on using the forum. Yes, this is a rain forest, but corrosion aside, a very beautiful place to live. Most of the issues I have, not resulting from those issues purely age related (vehicle not me), are from not operating the vehicle sufficiently; spends all winter in the garage on blocks. Thanks again.

 

Welcome to the forum, thanks a lot for joining! I hope the troubles aren't ruining your overall enjoyment of the vehicle. You will find a lot of information on this site to help you get your XJ6 working properly again.

 

carid: Thanks. I have owned this vehicle since 1991 and has always provided the max in driving, and visual, enjoyment. The current crop of issues is mostly due to lack of use over the last 6 or so years. In a damp climate with reduced usage (we average less than 1800 mi/year) and just plain ignoring the vehicle has taking a toll and now is the time to set that right. Also, I have always wanted to own a 'classic' car. I did not realize that this vehicle, when purchased, would be that car. Had some trouble finding the XJ40 forum because I was looking in the wrong area - modern (which this vehicle was at purchase and remains that in my mind) instead of Classic. Ah, the joys of growing older.

 

I also have trouble thinking of these as "classic", although I think so myself. I felt vindicated when the section was moved from modern to classic. "Its about time!"
