Beautiful and surprising car.

Anyone have any comments about a rattle from the right side, low speed? Sounds like a muffler mount, but they seem ok.

Welcome.

"What have I gotten into", mate, a REAL Jag.

No idea on the rattle, maybe a cat come loose internally, they do that. Tap them with a rubbe mallet and listen for rattles, quick and easy.

Welcome to the forum JaguarRookie,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.


As the mounts are OK, check for loose heat shields.

Follow this link XJ XJ8 / XJR ( X308 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the 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 remember to 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.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
