Welcome to the forums Douglas,

Good to have you with us. As a 1998, it must be a four door X308 and not a two door XJS. Was that a typo for XJ8 or XJR?

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj8-xjr-x308-27/ to the main X308 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
