Hello everyone, new member here.

First I want to thank everyone for contributing to this site, helped me a lot already.

I got myself 2003 XJ8 base, and find having a Jag very entertaining :-) I love the ride - very smooth. People compliment... nice!

I bought it somewhat on an impulse and car surprises me with something every day. One day wiper went on when rain started - surprise, I have a rain sensor! Another day - adjusting right mirror up moves it left :-), or heated seat lamp works - but seat stays cold. For each of those surprises I already see that this board will help me.

With the help of this board and a local mechanic I already managed to replace front wheel bearing and I am a proud owner of that socket from Sears that fits over ABS nut (anyone is welcome to borrow, I live in NJ Paramus area).

Nice to meet everyone.

Sam.

The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info 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.

Welcome! 2003s are different depending on what country you are in.Is it an X308 (steel body) or the X350 (aluminum body)?

In that case search under my username for a thread called "seat heat solved". It has lots of details on getting the heat working.

Hello, Sam, welcome.
A Jaguar, if nothing else, is FULL of surprises!
There's never a dull moment after one comes to live with you.
Enjoy the adventure.
