Default To buy?

Hey everyone. I've been out of the jag scene since 02. I had a 92 Van Plas. I'm currently thinking of an 07 XJ with super wheels and R grill. Looks stunning (as most Jags do). What should I look for? I've never dealt with the Ford-ISH years... What are the common problems? I know of the air ride. Anything else I should know about? How are the coils? I owned a retro T-bird with the 3.9 v8 and it had issues with coils pretty badly. Do these v8's suffer from the same? Thanks guys!

Welcome to the forum Unlucky,

Follow Norri's link to the X350 section for help, advice and information. The HOW TO section there is a good place to start.

Hope the deal on the XJ works out.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham

Looks great. Can see why you've been to busy driving to take pics until now.
