Default 2004 XJ8 Newbie

Hello guys,

Just picked up a 2004 XJ8 a couple days ago. My second Jag purchase. My other vehicles are my 2007 BMW M5 and the wife's 2008 BMW 550i.

I'm located in Atlanta, so howdy to all my fellow GA Jag owners.

I bought it off a private owner who moved up to a new Lexus LS460. It has 116K miles and the seller recently replaced the air shocks, air compressor, water pump, rotors, pads, and battery. He also serviced the transmission, changed plugs, oil, filter.

The only thing I have done is to replace the headliner and sunroof cover. There are a few other non mechanical issues I'll attend to in the next few days

So far I'm happy with the purchase.

Welcome to the forum Elbert,

Congratulations on the XJ8. The PO may soon be missing it with the change to a Lexus LS460!

Follow Norri's link to the X350 section for help, advice and information.

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 forum.

Graham
